Anybody having problems with the Apex failure resistant extractor? I've put this in two builds and get constant FTF/FTE problems dry firing. It seems to be extremely "tight". The regular extractor/spring/LCI bearing combo works fine, and I can toggle the extractor manually with a small screwdriver. But with the Apex/spring/non-LCI combo, I can't make it move manually. What am I missing?

Tried OEM , better but still a few issues tried LCI and non LCI set ups. 1 of 2 things happened after I swapped to a Zaffiri extractor (same brand slide &bbl) It was the fix or I had enough wear-in that’s things fell into Harmony. The Apex extractor was my issue. I switched to the OEM Gen 5 LCI extractor & instantly fixed my issue. 550 rds since w zero issues including shooting some speer gold dot +P rounds.

It wasnt gripping the case rim reliably, & was failing to extract from the chamber. It ran fine for the first 80 rounds then totally failed. Replaced w/ OEM was instant fix.

I replaced it with a Glock OEM extractor from Rook Tactical & it immediately fixed my issues. I discussed this at length with @ramjetta on IG.

I have no experience with them at all but I haven't heard much good about them. I know that doesn't help but I didn't want you to feel ignored. Lol. I do what it takes to use the old Glock OEM steel extractors.
JettaMan OUT!
