I'm not able to find a straight answer on this.
Is the extractor of a Colt 1911 from the 1920's shorter than the extractor of a modern day 1911?
Somebody sent me this picture of a modern day 1911 and a 1927 Sistema Colt, which is a licensed clone of a Colt 1911 built with Colt tooling.
The extractors look vastly different in length.
They're claiming it has the wrong extractor.
I'm not so sure.
I told them to install the extractor and check the gap between the extractor hook and the breach face?
Should one look for .075” to .085” between the hook and breechface?
