Extractor Adjusting Tool

    If you have ever struggled with bending an extractor to get just the exact  tension, this tool is for you. Extractor tension is very critical on a 1911 for proper extraction and ejection. If the extractor is too tight the pistol will not go into battery smoothly or sometimes not at all. If the extractor is too loose your brass flies every which way and sometimes not completely out of the slide. With this tool you can precisely adjust your extractor virtually to the ounce each time.

    You simply bend the extractor by turning the knob clockwise until it bottoms out on the stop. Simply adjust the stop (screw with the nut attached) in or out for more or less extractor tension. No more over-bending and under-bending with pliers or a vise. Smooth, precise adjustments each time you try.
