Have you ever made an error when typing??

You must not know to much about Eastern European Mil. Firearms,,
if I need to place the word and or a comma.

You're welcome.

All the time. I proof read a lot.

It's not my responsibility to see that your grammar and punctuation convey your thoughts properly, I have enough trouble with my own.

I would assume that the extractors were made for steel cased ammo

Every extractor I've ever known was manufactured from considerably stronger steel than any steel- cased ammo. The problem presents itself as the base of the empty cartridge case gets extracted, while the rest of the cartridge case stays in the chamber.

What is a makarov ak47?

While I cannot say with absolute certainty, you should be fine. The issue with steel casings used to be the lacquer coating when exposed to a hot barrel. The lacquer melted, the case would stick and not allow extraction. Assuming they use lacquer, just don't do rapid fire and heat won't be an issue.

If they don't, the only issue might be because the steel doesn't expand in the chamber when fired like brass and fail to seal hot gasses. .45 is pretty low pressure, so just pay attention to the gun and you should be okay.
