Evolution Gun Works Practical Extractor 45 Series 70 Blue - 10352

Upgrade the reliability of your 1911 Series 70 pistol with the Evolution Gun Works Practical Extractor for .45 ACP in a durable blue finish. Designed specifically for modern shooters who demand consistent performance, this precision-machined component addresses common extraction issues that can lead to malfunctions and lost accuracy during range sessions or competitive shooting.

Key Features

• Advanced Hook Geometry – Acute angle design with radii provides greater surface area for secure case engagement while eliminating weak points found in traditional right-angle hooks.
• Optimized Hook Placement – Reduced distance from bolt face to hook prevents the extractor from riding up the case relief groove, maintaining tension over extended use.
• Vacuum Heat Treated Construction – Premium steel alloy undergoes controlled vacuum heat treatment for superior spring properties and reliable tension across 70,000+ rounds.
• Modern Manufacturing Excellence – Produced using finite element analysis, better tooling, and high-quality alloys unavailable during the original 1911 design era.

Benefits for 1911 Owners

Standard extractors often lose tension quickly due to repeated impact and poor hook design, resulting in stovepipe jams and inconsistent feeding. The EGW Practical Extractor solves these pain points with enhanced durability and bite, delivering smoother cycling and improved reliability without constant adjustments. Its blue finish offers corrosion resistance and a classic aesthetic that complements Series 70 frames.
