this maybe a noob question, but for the most part is putting in a wilson bullet proof or ed brown hardcore extractor a drop it in type deal when putting them into a Kimber? Anyone have input or ed brown vs wilson extractor?

I've used both and I've had one Ed Brown Hardcore hook break. I send it back to Brownells and they replaced it for me under Brown's life time warranty. Make sure you keep the package it came in.
I have 3 Springfield 1911's and I replaced all the extractors with Wilson's because all 3 of the extractor hooks broke as did the firing pin stops. I hate MIM parts. Also, make sure you adjust the tension on the new extractor if you want it to work right. |

Quoted:
Extractors except for rather they sit flush with the rear of the slide are all pretty much drop in parts. They do need to be tuned though, which is a simple process. I like the Brown hardcore though I prefer the Wilson Bulletproof extractor myself. This. Lots of great articles on the internet that give you great insight into how to install one. |
