Good product
Installed one on a Caspian slide and so far, after 10,000 rounds, it has worked so well that I installed another on a new Rock Island that had a bad factory extractor. It installed fairly easily, but required a little tensioning. It works very well and after my experience, it's the only extractor I will use.
Good Part
This extractor has functioned without fail in my Ruger SR1911 for over 10,000 rounds. No fitting was required.
2 11/16"
This was too long in both directions from the firing pin stop to fit my 70's Colt Gold Cup. I assume any 2 11/16" extractor from any supplier would be the same.
