    Tuned Ejectors & Extractors worth it?

    Tuned ejectors and extractors are about twice the price as non tuned ejectors and extractors.

    Having never installed either before, are the tuned versions worth it?

    ^I'm assuming this is for the 1911 platform?

    New to 1911 and just wondering the same as well. Figured as a 1911 owner, part of the experience is properly tuning the firearm yourself.

      You need to have the extractor to your specific 1911.

        i've fit a few of each over the years, its kind of fun to do. Don't think you have to purchase tuned parts. I guess it depends upon how much you like to play/learn.

        Brownells has a nice article on how to fit an extractor. I bend it (without the tool they sell) by maintaining it the extractor 1/2 in and 1/2 out of the extractor channel. Here's a link to the article: http://www.brownells.com/GunTech/191....htm?lid=10261

        Here's a link on how to install an ejector:

          No don't necessarily buy tuned parts...but I does make plenty sense
          to buy high quality name brand parts like the extractor and ejector
          and then tune them correctly to your pistol.

          Good luck.

            Worth every penny IMO.
