[ARCHIVED THREAD] - MIM Extractor

Posted: 9/15/2011 12:58:08 PM EDT

I apparently my G19 has one. Is there any reason to be concerned about this or is the talk about MIM parts paranoia. I have MIM parts on my Springfield 1911 and I haven't had any problems.

I vote for: shoot it and see before worrying about anything. Every Glock pistol I own has a newer extractor, they all seem to have performed perfectly for thousands of rounds; those of us with no problems find little reason to complain online. If the paranoia is too much, just make sure the extractor fits in the extractor cut-out of the slide without binding or undue friction and then go shoot it.

Go run a few hundred or more rounds through it, and judge for your self.

My current main shooter is a Gen3 G23 with the new MIM extractor. So far, 3,600 rounds of .40 with zero issues.

The previous extractor was an investment casting. The new version is MiM. Glock NEVER used a machined/forged extractor in their guns. Anyone who says the extractor used to be a "machined" part is wrong. Do a little research on MiM vs Investment casting technology, and decide for yourself which process has the potential to produce the superior part.

Yep

I had a bum MIM extractor on a G19 that caused a few FTEs & was very hard to remove.

Replaced with another MIM extractor, and it ran like a raped ape.

MIM has been used for years with very little failures. Nothing wrong with MIM.
