Colt 1902 model 38acp question.

Quiet Storm · January 9, 2000, 12:03 AM

I need to find an extractor for a very old Colt 1902 38acp model auto pistol. Any idea where it might start looking? thanks!

I would try Gun Parts Corp, but would not hold out any real hope.

As the .38 ACP and the .38 Super are demensionally the same you might take a look at a .38 Super extractor for a 1911 or a .38 ACP extractor for a 1903 (if you can find one of those).

As the design of the three pistols was evolutionary there may be an off chance that something like the extractor stayed consistant - or close enough that the newer part could be modified.

Just a thought. Good luck.

Hi, Quiet Storm,

I checked Gun Parts catalog and they list the extractor and spring for $24.95. So that looks like the answer. They say to indicate .38 or .45, but I think the extractors on the whole .38 series were the same.

BTW, the extractor on those early guns is totally different from that on the 1911.
