I may just try that. I like the night sights I have,both my loaded and my sig have the same sight picture. It is starting to look like I need to adjust both to move my groups to the right. If I buy a sight pusher then I should be able to change both of them. Any suggestions on a particular brand that will have the same sight for my loaded 1911 and my Sig P938?
I really like having the same sight picture on both.

10-76 wrote: I became curious about this extractor test, which was seen to be an evaluation of sorts by some 1911 aficionados, which tests a 1911's extractor operation.

It is: Fire 16 rounds from your 1911, with only that one round in the chamber, and the magazine OUT of the pistol. (Yup, it is time consuming to keep racking one round in, and dropping the mag., but it's just a test and you need another reason to go shoot...)

It sees: It sees if your current extractor tension/profile can positively eject that one spent round, w/o the upper support of another round coming up from the magazine.

How/where: The ideal ejection pattern from this test is that the spent casings are ejected between the 2 o'clock and 5 o'clock positions from the chamber, w/o a jam for the duration of the 16 rounds fired.

Specifically giving credit where credit is due-Hilton Yam, Tim Lau, and other LEOs at 10-8 Performance have brought this excellent test to the forefront on their new website at modern service weapons. They borrowed this test, from who I cannot remember at the moment, in order to test a 1911s serviceability for LE Duty, in their humble opinions.

I finally got my SIG-SAUER Tac-Ops 1911 out to the range yesterday just to run this test, as the pistol's reliability was gnawing away at me since Hilton had one (SIG TO TR) fail the test for him. Mine ran great on 4 different kinds of 1911 ammo: factory RN, and 3 different profiles of old hand-loads from a neighbor which seemed rather underpowered. 16 rounds and not a single jam, positive ejection from the 2-5 o'clock positions.

Pistol manufacture date of March 2012. Only changes to the pistol are a Streamlight TLR and a 10-8 rear sight installed.

Give it a shot! :usa:

I read thru this twice 10-76 and here is my question: It appears that what this tests is the function of the ejector when there is not a mag in the well? Am I correct in this thinking????

It should also show something on the extractor tension because there is nothing there to support or push the case from underneath, nothing but the extractor tension to control the case.
I bought a "competition" ejector for a spare so if I ever get bored enough to switch them out I'll have something to judge the performance on. It is one of the more PITA parts to change so odds are I won't do it till I have to, that should be never.
