I have a Colt Python which has a spring loaded extractor hand activated just like other similar revolvers from S&W or Ruger. Unlike S&W, however, the extractor unscrews counter clockwise. I currently use a Wessinger extractor wrench (Brownell's Catalog) for my S&W revolvers, and it works wonderfully well. The Wessinger can't be used on the Colt because the diameter of the extractor is too small, so one is left with parallel pliers and a piece of leather to unscrew it. My problem is that the extractor appears "frozen." I even made a shim for the Wessinger designed for S&W that would fit the Colt, and it still won't come loose. I don't want to break the dang thing! Any suggestions?
