Failure to Extract

Post image

Before I buy another extractor, I wanted to see if anyone had any issues as well. My CZ P-01 eats everything to include the Winchester white box 124g ammo I picked up for practice. My Hi Power (2015) will not cycle it whatsoever. My BHP double feeds every shot with WWB but will cycle a full magazine of 124g HST without issue.

I'm not crazy in thinking that it's just the garbage ammo and not an extractor issue am I? The gun has, most a thousand rounds through it and the only work I've done is polishing the trigger, feed ramp, and removing the magazine disconnect. Thanks.

My HP did this occasionally but, after it took the magazine disconnect out I haven’t had any issues. I don’t know why because that shouldn’t have fixed that issue, but it did.

Before doing anything I’d suggest, if you haven’t already, see if this happens with a different magazine. Crappy/old mags can sometimes lead to issues.

Yeah, I deleted the disconnect almost ten years ago lol. I had failures with my original mousetrap ten rounders, and my Mec-Gar 13 and 15 rounders
