Thanks in advance for any help.
I bought a "gently used" Seecamp .32 last Friday as a daily pocket carry gun. I have a Shield 9mm or G19 that ride in a backpack or shoulder bag most places I go, including work, but do to the nature of the business I'm in and usually wearing dress clothes, I needed something that would reside in my pocket all day, every day, including short walks to lunch, coffee, and home.
So, I was very pleased to find a Seecamp somewhat locally for the very reasonable price of $400 with 3 mags, 3 finger rests, 3 boxes of Hornady hollowpoints.
I fired the gun Sunday. 2 boxes of Gold Dots, and the 3 boxes of Hornady. No major problems to speak of (for a tiny pocket .32), but when I finished the last mag, I noticed my extractor was missing - and the pin and spring. So, being curious, I fired the last box of 20 Gold Dots with the extractor missing - everything went fine.
I did find the extractor on the floor downrange, but not the pin or spring.
My questions:
1. How easy, or not, for me to get the parts and install myself?
2. Given the missing extractor, was this functioning much like a Beretta Tomcat with just an ejector?
3. If this functioned for me without the extractor, is it really just there to assist in ejecting and also clearing (clearing is not easy without it)?
I emailed Seecamp, waiting on their reply. Just looking for someone here who may have some knowledge about the feasibility of fixing this part myself.
