For: 1911/2011 in the caliber of .38 Super

Aftec Extractors End Extractor Malfunctions. Extractor tension is achieved by two springs that push on side of extractor. Regular extractors are bent to achieve tension. They straighten out over time and cause malfunctions. No slide modifications are necessary. Complete instructions and extra springs included. Used by World Champ Todd Jarrett. Fits 1911, Springfield, STI, SV, and all Kimbers without external extractors.

Most extractors’ power is made from the tension it has created. A normal extractor is made from a semi-malleable material, and the gunsmith would bend it just enough to create that tension. What happens is that the reverse tension on the extractor causes it to bend away from the intended angle, thus losing that needed tension for extraction. But the Aftec extractor is totally different and ultimately redesigned. It is made from a much harder, non-malleable material. You’ll also notice that the Aftec has two holes in it. It also comes with two tiny springs and a sleeve. The springs insert into the holes, and the sleeve fits over the top of them. This unique assembly creates a great amount of tension without weakening your extractor by bending it.

NOTE: Will not work in Series 80 Colts or Para Ordnance. May require fitting.
