Bill. Gotcha. And just in case you're curious, the extractor is almost Glock-like rather than M&P or 1911 like. It has about the footprint of a middle-fingernail, and more filled in than a Glock extractor. It does have a separate spring embedded in the slide that pushes on an angled rod which pushes on the extractor to provide tension. I don't *think* I can re-shape a Glock extractor as it is bigger, but I'd better check just to make sure. Wouldn't that be something.
I guess I just figured with all the brass rubbing and pulling on a tiny little steel ledge, the claw would have to be hard. I guess not!
