Thanks, I did test my extrtactor against my Kimber and it was much tighter, thus I filed it some. I will try the test tho that's great! thanks

When I got my twin Springfield 1911-A1 pistols, they wouldn't feed anything realiably. I throated, ramped and polished the frame and barrel and now they will almost feed empty cases backward... lovely and not expensive.

I've had these twins for about 20 years and one has nearly 50,000 round through it without a single failure to feed since this work was done. The other pistol has had much less use, but, it also very good. Remember to change your recoil spring from time-to-time.
