Upgrade Your 1911 with the EGW GI Extractor 45 Series
The EGW GI Extractor Improved .45 ACP Series is meticulously designed to enhance the performance of your 1911 pistol. With advancements in steel quality and manufacturing processes, this extractor ensures reliability and longevity.
Why Choose the EGW GI Extractor?
Today's steel is significantly superior to what was available in 1911, which allows for enhanced durability and performance. The improvements in the manufacturing process include:
- Better alloys
- More controlled furnaces
- Vacuum heat treat
- Advanced tooling
- Finite element analysis
Specific Enhancements
EGW identified key issues with the original 1911 extractor:
- The extractor rides up the relief groove on the ammunition casing, dulling the hook over time.
- Loss of tension can lead to jamming, adversely affecting accuracy.
- Frequent retensioning indicates the need for replacement.
To resolve these issues, EGW has:
- Reduced the distance from the bolt face to the extractor hook.
- Machined the hook at an acute angle for increased surface area to bite into the case.
- Added radii on both sides of the hook to enhance strength.
- Utilized a special cutter to create a clean radius in the inside corner, a common failure point in other extractors.
Exceptional Spring Properties
Each EGW extractor undergoes vacuum heat treatment, resulting in outstanding spring properties and the ability to maintain tension for over 70,000 rounds. This means you can rely on your extractor for countless rounds without compromising performance.
Upgrade your 1911 with the EGW GI Extractor and experience the difference in reliability and accuracy.
