This thread is very helpful, especially the photos showing precisely what to bend to improve ejection.

I had to send my Victory 22 back to S&W since the extractor disappeared along with the empty shell of my first round fired. When it returned from S&W it didn't run well. I detail stripped it and found excess oil on the bolt and in the trigger assembly. I hosed all the heavy oil out, sprayed a bit of Remoil in and the gun runs perfectly. I also Locktited the barrel hex screw since it wouldn't stay tight.

Gun now is totally reliable so far.
