P7M8 extraction issue

After 8 years of trouble free use my pistol has begun acting up. On the past few outings, out of a box of 50, I have had 3-4 stovepipes, or even worse, the empty spins a 180 outside the chamber and jams. I thought it might improve with hotter reloads but going from 4.6 to 4.9 of 231 with 124 FMJ's did not make a difference. I've ordered an extractor spring but I've heard that these don't even need the extractor. The extractor seems very loose and you can easily lift if with your finger. I took the extractor spring out and it is there, but I have no idea how long it should be. Pistol is very clean and I have the same issue with all 3 magazines. I've fired a few thousand trouble free rounds of mostly reloads through this thing prior to the recent problems. Ejection is typically about 3 ft. at 4-5 o'clock. Have any of you experienced this problem? Thanks
