[QUOTE="Zaphod Beeblebrox, post: 2975636, member: 4606"] It's the Browning pattern. And I have a couple spring kits coming from Midway (my dumb butt ordered a kit without the extractor spring, so I ordered another kit). I just have to figure out how to install it. I've got a pretty good idea from my perusal of the interwebz. I'm not sure the extractor spring is the problem, but it seems likely due to the symptoms. But, I tried the loaded cartridge test, and the extractor held it in place despite strongly shaking the slide. I've checked the resistance of the extractor spring by pressing on it, and while I can certainly move the extractor, it takes a bit of effort. The extractor itself seems to have little to no wear, as the bluing is still there (inside the "hook"). I DID perhaps put too much lube/grease on the whole gun when I was cleaning it. [/QUOTE]
