EGW Heavy Duty 1911 Extractor – 9mm / .38 / .40 – Series 70 – Blued

Upgrade your Series 70 1911 with the EGW Heavy Duty 1911 Extractor for 9mm, .38, or .40 calibers. Thanks to modern steel and advanced manufacturing techniques, this extractor outperforms traditional designs. By using high-quality carbon steel, precise CNC machining, and vacuum heat treatment, EGW ensures long-lasting durability, consistent tension, and reliable extraction.

Why Standard Extractors Can Fail

Many standard 1911 extractors wear out quickly. For example, the hook often rides up the cartridge case relief groove with each round. Consequently, the hook dulls, tension drops, and extraction may fail. If you constantly re-tension your extractor, it is time for an upgrade.

EGW solved this problem by reducing the distance from the bolt face to the extractor hook. As a result, the hook no longer hits the case repeatedly. Therefore, extractor tension stays steady, cycling becomes smoother, and reliability improves dramatically.

Stronger Hook Design

Most factory extractors feature a straight, 90-degree hook cut, which creates weak points prone to cracking. In contrast, EGW machines the hook at an acute angle, increasing the surface area that grips the case rim.

Additionally, radiused cuts on both sides of the hook distribute stress evenly and prevent breakage. Consequently, the extractor holds cases securely and maintains reliable extraction, even during high-round-count shooting.

Vacuum Heat-Treated for Long Life

EGW vacuum heat-treats this extractor to preserve its spring properties and reduce internal stress. Because of this process, the extractor maintains proper tension for over 70,000 rounds.

Therefore, your Series 70 1911 will cycle consistently, extract smoothly, and perform reliably in competitions, training, or defensive situations.
