I have light tension, just enough to hold an empty case in place in any orientation. I know I don't want too much tension on the extractor with the light 12 pound recoil spring, that can cause feed issues too.

Sounds good to go. I'll be interested to know how it all works out.
As an FYI the ideal distance between the breechface and extractor claw is:
- .060" for 9mm
- .065" for 40 S&W and 10mm
- .075" for .45 ACP
