Today I happened to notice, purely by accident, that the extractor plunger on my G26 Gen 4 appears to be installed backwards. That is, the plastic LCI (loaded chamber indicator) was resting on the extractor, and the metal end was to the rear. My G19 has the metal end forward against the extractor, and everything I have read says that's the correct direction of the extractor plunger.
I bought this gun used, and I never noticed it before. I have put around 100 trouble-free rounds through it.
My questions:
1) Are the Gen 4s an exception to the rule, or is this truly in backwards?
2) Since I had no issues, can I assume that, technically speaking, the direction of the plunger doesn't matter, except that the LCI won't function?
3) I assume I have not done any damage to the gun, right?
PS - I did reverse it, so tell me if that was a mistake.
Thanks
