I had not heard of any difficulty with the internal extractor except with single loading. The 1911 with that same type extractor does not seem to have had such difficulties.
Its a piece that can on rare occasions fail if the pistol is not operated as intended, but not a glaring fault in the design.
With a pistol that you yourself have not had in your unbroken custody you can never be sure whether or not it has been abused. The external extractor is easier to check for function and visible damage, so its a worthwhile improvement.
I've replaced enough external extractors on many types of auto loaders to know that these can also fail if the weapon is abused.
