In another board an interesting discussion was going on about bullet setback with 357 sig from rechambering and ejecting the same round repeatedly.
I stated that to avoid this I simply manually chamber the 1st round and then drop the slide and reinsert the magazine.
It was then brought up that this could be hard on the extractor (much like the same practice is with a crf rifle) since it has to stretch so far to snap over the rim.
To be completely honest this possibility had never occurred to me. I'd always assumed an automatic pistol push fed rounds untilled just before the slide locked at which point the extractor jumped over the rim of the case into the extraction groove.
So educate me. How does the extractor grab the case?
