So NavyLT raises an interesting point ... maybe it's just an urban legend, like keeping yours mags loaded trashes the spring ... but I recall reading here that placing a round in the chamber and then dropping the slide can damage the extractor ... when I reload after cleaning, dryfire, whatever, I load the mag full, rack the slide to chamber the top round, on safe, then drop the mag and add a new round before returning the mag to its place. can anybody confirm or deny the extractor issue?
