Hi Herb,
thanks for your responce.
This was my first thought, too. But the extraction problems occured from the first day on. (I bought this gun as a brand new gun). Back then, the gun dealer ment, a 1911 needs alot of oil/grease to operate flawless. THen I lubed and oiled this gun very well.
Later, I showed this gun to a guy at the gun shop to get another suggestion, and he said, the extractor seems OK. If I extract a shell manually, then it works always without a problem, but when I shoot, then it doesn't work. I did not expect to have a bad extractor on a brand new gun.
In 1989, I bought my first Springfield. A regular 1911 A1-style gun in .45 ACP. THis gun fired always without any problems. A very, very reliable gun.
