Bad extractor or bad ammo?

The actaul end of the extractor that grabs the cartridge looked OK. There were no obvious signs of breakage, granted its the only luger extractor I have seen in person. Honestly this is the ONLY luger I have seen in person and not on a computer or book. But as for the spring, I do believe someone commented that the extractor is the spring on this type of extractor. There is no side pin on the toggle. The extractor does move easily up and down about a 1/16" before tension starts being put on the extractor.

I have put shells in the magazine (a full magazine) and just manaually moved the toggle without firing and the shells all extracted perfectly doing it that way. Its just that one time shooting. I think maybe a little TLC and a few more rounds thru it with new ammo and the ones I have,in a new magazine and see what happens from there.
