For the ultimate 1911 extractor we have developed the Bullet Proof ® XS 1911 extractor-these “Extra Strong” extractors have a full thickness shank that resists tension loss over time better than other extractors and also reduces critical stress risers so breakage is virtually impossible.

Oversize in all critical dimensions, the Bullet Proof ® XS is guaranteed against failure for life-and it’s “Extra Smart” features sets new standards for extractor design.

All Wilson Combat Bullet Proof ® Extractors are machined from solid bar stock alloy steel and then specially heat treated for long lasting tension and toughness to resist chipping or breakage.

Wilson Bullet Proof ® extractors are the choice of professional gunsmiths and will hold tension longer and resist damage better than any other extractor on the market.

All of our 1911 extractors require minimal fitting for proper function and often will drop in some guns with only final tensioning required.  Used in conjunction with a Wilson Combat firing pin stop you can optimize extractor function for any 1911 pistol.

• Fully Machined from S7 shockproof tool steel with a tensile strength of 275,000 PSI
• Optimized hook design for maximum strength and case rim contact
• Hook location tolerances held to +/- .001"
• Radiused corners for extended life and smooth feeding
• Full diameter rear shaft holds tension longer over factory parts many times over
• Heat treated to optimum hardness and cryogenically treated
• Guaranteed for life against breakage or we will replace at no cost to you

About S7 Tool Steel

A Wilson exclusive, S7 is a shock resistant “non stainless” tool steel with excellent toughness and high strength, along with good wear resistance. It has maximum shock resistance and high compression strength, which gives it good deformation resistance in use, while retaining good toughness to resist chipping and breaking. Typical applications for S7 tool steel are punches, chisels, blanking dies, forming dies and concrete breakers.

Series 70 vs Series 80 1911 Extractors:

The difference between Series 70 and Series 80 extractors is a plunger retainer stud machined into the Series 80 extractor. This retainer stud holds the firing pin safety plunger that is visible next to the disconnector rail in place on Colt-style Series 80 slides. All extractors which are designed to work in a Series 80 1911 will also work in all Series 70 guns, however extractors designed for Series 70 guns lack the machined cut which allows the firing pin lock plunger to be installed and therefore can not be used in Series 80 guns.  Kimber series II guns can use either a 70 series or 80 series.  All Springfield Armory 1911 pistols are 70 series.
