Default 2nd gen Model 459 Short Extractor Spring Replacement?

Does anybody know if the springs for the short extractor are the same as the replacement for the long extractor? I need a new one and wolf only list one type. If not does anybody know where I can get a replacement?

Hope this helps, however not sure if which you're looking for.

I have a 39-2, and the Wolff website did not differentiate between the 39 and the 39-2.

They did list stock number 69392 for the 39, 439, 539, 639 etc. I ordered it anyway. Just installed the extractor spring that was in the kit and functions perfectly.

I believe the 39-2 and 439 extractors are identical, hope someone can confirm?

There are 2 types, the long extractor which is held in by a pivot pin and the short type which has no pin and has a spring and plunger which push from the rear of the ejector. Anybody know if the springs are the same?

I don't know the answer to your question, but have two suggestions:
Look at the S&W site for schematics or call S&W.

The long, thin extractor, the design that pivots on a pin visible from the top/bottom of the slide, uses a very short spring, less than a 1/4" in length. (Let's call this type, Extractor A.)

The short, fat extractor design, the one that does not use a pivot pin through the slide, rather pops in and out of the slide easily and has a round, spring-loaded plunger pressing directly from the rear, uses a much longer and narrower spring, about 1" in length. (Let's call this type, Extractor B.)

Obviously, designs A and B are completely different and the two springs are not interchangeable. The extractor springs I've seen on the Wolff Springs site are for the long, thin extractor, the type that uses the through frame-mounted pivot pin...type A. I have not been able to find the second type extractor spring, the one for the short, thick extractor....type B.

If anyone has a source for these type B springs, and for the round plunger that goes with it, please list the source. Numrich GP has both styles of extractor bodies in stock, and the springs for the type A extractor. However, they're currently "sold out" of the type B extractor spring and the plunger.

Currently looking for the extractor plunger for the 439. Mine is lost and would like to get my pistol up and running!
