Quick update guys - received my m41 from S&W repair center second time. They acknowledged that "the extractor is gouging slide". They returned the pistol with the same gouged barrel/breech face and the extractor is still sticking. Not sure if I should call and send it in third time - it's a 3 weeks wait. Amazingly lousy service, they really don't giove a damn. As somebody suggested, I should probably take this to a gunsmith and have them widen the extractor channel.
