A more common cause of extraction failures, particularly in used pistols, is a weak recoil spring. If you are unable to find an OEM recoil spring at Numrich, Brownells or Midway, Wolff has some replacement springs available.

Recoil spring... or did you mean extractor spring? The slide recoil spring usually has more to do with returning the slide back to battery while striping a round from the magazine and loading it into the barrel chamber... I can see a weak recoil spring causing failure to feed issues, but extraction?
