I've heard that the extractor should just fall out when there's nothing left holding it in and mine certainly doesn't do that. After removing the entire extractor spring assembly and the firing pin safety parts, I have to pry the extractor out with a punch.
yep, the out of spec ones need to be pried out.
another note, i haven't read a single experience about the 0-4-1 spring that mentioned any issues whatsoever.
once you replace the extractor, and pop in the 0-4-1, i'd bet the farm it'll work flawlessly for you, my friend.
i wouldn't sell and take a loss. yeah it sucks that glock did seemingly no product testing before marketing the gen4 9mm's, and they keep puttin out bad extractors on top of that, but you can resolve all that and have a reliable weapon
a friend on another forum went and sold his gn4 g29 right before i posted about the 0-4-1 spring, and the bad extractors, and took a loss doing so. he wishes he kept it, might buy another.
(also, don't slam the mag so hard like the reaper said. it takes almost no effort to seat a mag properly)
