[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3033458, member: 10465"] A bit of both, I do believe. The one on top is really worn and well-rounded; it's sure not getting a good "hold" in the divot. Now, I had the safety drum itself break here a few weeks back, and it ended up I shipped it back to Walther and they replaced the drum. (part #36) and out in a new spring too (#4). At that time, this gun was NOT doing the "Fire" to "Safe" issue, or they might have replaced the plungers on both ends too. Whatever; so I decided to replace anything and everything that was associated with pressure on that safety drum to keep it in "Fire" when I wanted to be firing. Now, the more smarterers ones of you all may have figured out that increasing pressure on the safety drum is also going to do this: (Pop Quiz time again). POP QUIZ QUESTION: So, what it gonna do? Answer: It will also increase pressure on the extractor. Crap. If that sucker doesn't work right, I got a single shot semi-auto pistol to fight the commie spies with. Let's study the exploded diagram some more. Look at the extractor, part #2. The extractor has a little tittynipple looking thing there on the aft end. It sits in a round hole in the frame. A ROUND hole. So; it can kinda [I]roll[/I] up on the cartridge rim and then [I]roll[/I] out and yank that sucker outta there! Now, ifn' it was a square peg; we would might have an issue, but since it is round, I don't think we will. So, thrusters on full, let's put some serious pressure on that dang safety drum! [/QUOTE]
