I just fired my new S&W Victory 22 for the first time and it didn't fully eject the CCI Standard Velocity case. So, I cleared the empty and fired one more round which didn't extract. As I cleared the gun I saw a very good reason for failure to extract. The extractor is gone for parts unknown(pun intended). I have yet to find the departed extractor but did find the poor little coil spring that tensioned the extractor. It was trapped between the bolt and breech with an unnecessary kink. Oh well....

I followed the manual instructions and did a simple disassembly and cleaning, reassembled and fired exactly two rounds. I definitely saw the extractor in place during this procedure. I suspect a pin was left out during factory assembly and the extractor pulled out with the fired case. I can't figure out why I can't find the darn thing since the brass didn't even leave the slide. Any ideas?

In any event, I'll have to send it back to the factory.
