Tuned Ejectors & Extractors worth it?

[Psychbiker]

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.
