Extractors are the same. If you are having extraction issues, before you replace the extractor (a fitted part), check the hook for evidence of damage. Use a magnifier. Check also that the extractor is free in the slot and is under tension. The extractor is probably OK.

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.
