Got a new extractor spring on the way ( start cheap right ? )
I should have included in the original post that when I got it, I tore it down to the last spring and pin, and cleaned the hell out of it, and I mean hell
There was some pretty nasty build up in the guts of the pistol, but everything was thoroughly cleaned before it was put back together.
Hopefully the new spring fixes the problem. I am going to touch up the bluing while I have the slide apart again. The nose is pretty much bare metal, especially the front sight. I don't mind the wear, but the silver front sight could use some love.
Even with the crazy brass tossing I am still happy with it. With less than $300 into it including transfer fees I can't complain too much. I snagged 4 of the repro Taurus mags that were mentioned in the other thread and they all function flawlessly.
Now I just need Beretta to start shipping M9s so I can get the new one I have on backorder.
