Extractor issue? mainspring issue both?

Byron,

The ejector is an extremely easy part to remove. That being said, I highly recommend against removing it (unless it is actually broken and you are replacing it) or modifying it in any way. It is a piece of spring steel with some bends and appendages, and can easily break. A recent survey has shown that it is the most commonly broken part, resulting from shooting.

I think that Lugerdoc is on the money with his assessment. Also I have a Luger or two which do the same thing, the breech closes fully when released from maximum recoil, and there seems to be no problem in operating the pistol.

So, don't worry, and enjoy it.

--Dwight
