Retire a handgun because it needs fixing.

In 1990 I purchased a SA 1911a1 in 45acp. She’s a series 90 with larger sights, tighter frame to slide fit. Plus in black park. Right out of the box she stove piped one round per 8 rd mag. It sat in the safe for a decade I had other guns to shoot. I built my norinco 1911 myself. I have every dvd on how to build, rework on 1911’s. I purchased every 1911 tool from brownells. After test firing my norinco I remembered I had the SA in the safe that’s still new not even a box of ammo was fired out of it. Upon inspection I found the extractor loss it’s tention. I fixed it in 20 minutes.

I don’t like anyone working on my guns. I’d rather learn how to fix it myself if I can.
