Charter Arms 9mm Model 79920 revolver parts diagram or photo?

I'd like to see how the "dual coil spring assembly located in the extractor allows insertion and retention of a 9mm cartridge in each chamber of the revolver's cylinder. After firing, the shooter can easily eject the spent cartridges for immediate reloading" looks like.

Judging by the photo, the location for the extraction teeth is machined from the upper side. Once the teeth are inserted in their seats and two small springs are placed at the ends to have a homogeneous thrust, the assembly is completed by closing the compartment with the piece equipped with the millings for the rotation which appears inserted by forcing and centered with small pins that prevent their mutual rotation with respect to the star.

Even simpler: the location for the extraction teeth are milled from the side. The tooth has a tail with an elliptical hole (green drawing). Two little coil springs are inserted on each side of the tooth (red). A pin (yellow) is forced in place to hold the tooth in position.

Thank you 5 shot. That's actually a better design over what S&W did with its old 9 mm Rev that had seperate fingers for its extractors.

I want to clarify that what I wrote are only my speculations. The first of the two hypotheses is too complicated while the second one I wrote is more likely close to reality. I believe that in order to disassemble the teeth that hold the case rims, it is necessary to force out those small pins that can be seen in the photos, which I believe is only done in the factory. Indeed, I believe that in the event of a malfunction of one or more of the teeth, they prefer to replace the entire ejector star at the factory rather than repair it. This is why I think it will be very difficult to find photos of the disassembled parts.

Without having seen it or disassembled it myself, I would have used a single spring that the shaft of the ejector slides over. Easier and few parts; but wadda-eye know? I'm only speculating. I guess I should call Charter Arms and ask.

I think the engineering of the Charter 9mm ejector is superior to that of the older S&W. Less expensive to make too.
