Swiss Luger durability

Slick_nick540, I have shot all kinds of lugers for over 50 years and have never had an extractor break. I've seen cracks appear in the breachblock and have seen the ends of the ejector break off, but never the extractor. Of course I am talking about the "new model" extractor, those made 1902 and earlier were prone to breakage, that's why they were modified. And with respect to Swiss versus German made lugers, they are all the same in my experience.
