The current production Glock extractor has been showed in detail compared to the Lone Wolf extractor, which is supposedly based on one of Glocks older extractors. There seem to be some significant differences between the Lone Wolf and the older Gen 3 extractor shown here, though.



You can clearly see a molding seam on both extractors, with wear occuring on the Gen 3 extractor outside the seam on the bottom, and inside the seam on the top...with the OPPOSITE wear pattern on the Gen 4 (wear inside the seam on the bottom, and outside the seam on top).

All other parts of the extractor look identical. The claws are both parallel cut, not slanted like on the Lone Wolf:
