Evolution Gun Works Practical Extractor 45 Series 70 Blue - 10352

Upgrade the reliability of your Series 70 1911 with the Evolution Gun Works Practical Extractor 45 Series 70 Blue. Designed specifically for .45 ACP pistols, this precision-machined extractor delivers consistent performance where stock parts often fall short, reducing extraction failures and keeping your firearm cycling smoothly during extended range sessions or defensive use.

Key Features

• Optimized Length – .025 inches shorter than traditional GI extractors to minimize cartridge case impact and preserve hook tension over thousands of rounds
• Reinforced Hook Design – Radiused edges and acute-angle machining increase surface contact for a secure grip while eliminating weak points that cause cracking
• Vacuum Heat-Treated Construction – Premium steel treated for superior spring properties, maintaining proper tension for up to 70,000+ rounds
• Blued Finish – Classic corrosion-resistant coating that matches Series 70 aesthetics
• Drop-In Compatibility – Engineered for Series 70 1911 platforms (not compatible with Schwartz-style firing pin safeties)

Benefits for 1911 Owners

Stock extractors often lose tension quickly from repeated case contact, leading to failures to extract and frustrating malfunctions. The EGW Practical Extractor solves this with modern materials and geometry that keep your pistol running reliably whether you’re competing, training, or carrying for defense. Its design reduces wear on both the extractor and ammunition cases while providing a stronger, more consistent bite on the rim.
