1911 Extractor Jig
Good product; I LOVE BROWNELL'S!!!!!!
Especially great for arthritic hands !
Great tool ! Love the fact that the bend is applied over the entire extractor as opposed to one side only when bending it manually, which can be difficult if you have arthritis in your fingers. Goal is achieved quickly too ! Didn't need to adjust the stop screw either. Did three different guns and all three gave a reading of 27 oz. +/- and all perform well. I definitely give it a thumbs up and would recommend this tool.
Simple, effective solution
Used in conjunction with the extractor tension gauge set (#957101000) it provides the correct force for your 1911 extractor. As an added bonus, it helps to set the spring shell stop on an Ithaca 37.
Simple Tool, Easy To Use
It's very interesting that so many 1911 owners don't understand how many problems can be solved by correcting extractor anomalies. This is one of those tools you think you can get by without until you've replaced other possibilities to no avail. This tool is so simple and easy to use and cures not only ejection problems (like stove piping) but many feed problems usually attributed to the magazine. I should have bought one of these a long time ago.
A tool that really works
I have been fighting an extraction problem on a 9MM 1911. This takes the guess work of how much your bending the extractor so you can stop at and repeat just the wright amount. I am very happy with this tool !
works as advertised
smooth easy adjustment--easy to adjust "just right" no random bending.
Worth Every Penny
It took about an hour the 1st time I used it. But I took my time and it Works. Tuned the extractor on an ATI Titan 3" Officer model 1911. It would not extract at all until I tuned the extractor with this tool, the Gauge set, and a trigger pull gauge. Set it at 26 ounces and it worked perfect. From the factory it was only 12 ounces. Not nearly enough
Allows precise tension
Started with a straight new extractor. This tool allowed precise adjustment and consistent pull test within 1-2 oz's. Like other tools for a specific job, this one fits the bill perfectly. Highly recommend for getting the ejector properly tuned.
EAT!
Perfect tool. No more vice and hammer guessing or trying to bend in frame. Should of bought one years ago.
What a time saver!
I was really hesitant to purchase one of these at first because I did not want to spend the money on this, the tension gauge set, and a trigger pull gauge, but after months of failure to extracts from about 30% of my rounds I finally got fed up and forked the cash over. Now I am wishing I had not waited so long! If you are experiencing symptoms of brass stovepiping in the ejection port, hitting your face or head, or even just never leaving the chamber at all, there is a very high probability that your extractor does not have enough tension and this gauge set will help you correct it. First, let me say not to waste your time and efforts in following the DIY solutions given on YouTube. You will spend too long guessing and you will end up wasting your time and getting frustrated when you have to retune to your extractor every few weeks. This tool is extremely easy to use! It even has groves so that your extractor sits in the correct position. Once you figure the proper positioning of the screw, you can lock it in place so the next time you need to do any readjustments, it is already in place for you. I would highly recommend you get the tension gauge set along with this to adjust your extractor. It is very inexpensive and once you figuring out how to use everything, it will only take a few minutes to correct your tension, instead of the many hours to weeks of trial and error you would have wasted on guessing.
