If you have a micrometer or calipers, measure this distance:

Shot the pistol for an additional 203 rounds yesterday at a major IDPA match. Cleaned & lubed the gun and cleaned magazines thorougly beforehand. Had one stage ruined by a Failure to eject at round #3,275, which was a different type of malfuntion, although still extractor related I suspect.
This time an empty case was stuck on the extractor. I dumped the mag and tap racked to clear it, but 5 racks was not enough to get it to eject. I eventually had to peel it off the extractor with my fingers through the ejection port. That cost me 15-20 seconds on the stage lol, but I expected a malf at some point in the match with this gun. Also, it was a 4th type of factory ammunition, Atlanta Arms Elite 147gr Match grade JHP's.
So now it has 3,347 rounds through it with 7 malfunctions between rounds 1985 and 3275.
The extractor claw dimension requested looks to be .3385" according to my calipers.
