I thought this would be a problem as well. However, it seems that S&W uses the same breech face and extractor for the 9mm guns.

I just measured the external chamber dimensions of both 9mm and .40S&W factory barrels. They are identical. Therefore, the 9mm and .40 slides are the same as well. This is why the extractor doesn't need to be changed. It must just move out a little more when shooting .40S&W.
