Just curious what everyone prefers. I have 1911's with both Extractors and they all run flawlessly. I've searched and find mixed opinions.
Not sure of other brands but S&W makes a fine 1911 with external.
I do not have one now justa the Colt and Kimber variants
My Kimber runs fine with an external extractor.
Had it many years and never a failure to extract over many hundreds of rounds.
Most people don't like external extractors, because of known issues with Kimber.

Sure, but mine has been just fine.
No complaints.
Do you have personal experience? Or someone else?
The 3 I have work fine for my wife and me.
I have one 3" 45acp and 2 5" Raptors one in 9mm and one in 45.
Known issues are known issues. If they are properly documented, it doesn’t matter if they were personal experiences or not.
I’m also not telling either of you to throw your guns in the trash or sell them. External extractors in the 1911 were *new* and by nature of being an alteration to the original design, it had issues.
Ok thanks, I am going fish the Kimbers out the Trash Bin now.
Assuming they are both of quality, it doesn’t matter.
