Nice finish but Extractor still snapped
I have 4 Ruger Mark III pistols and they all have Volquartsen firing pins and extractors, that is until the one in my Competition Target snapped in two after just about 200 rounds. I installed Volquartsen brand parts because I believed them to be superior to the originals. No problems at all with the firing pins. Volquartsen does a nice job of finishing their products, but I actually haven't noticed an improvement in performance over the Ruger original parts. I think these parts will eventually last longer than the Ruger originals, but having one break so early in its life makes me wonder. I am not sure I can now recommend these parts because this type of failure represents to me a quality control deficiency, unfortunately. I'll just have to see how the other extractors hold up.
