Finally found me a 1006. It shoots like I hoped it would. It came with two mags, one white,one yellow. When either is fully loaded,on the first shot,the empty is not extracted,the second round pushes up on it. Is this an extracted problem,or mag problem?

The extractor could be jumping off of the case rim, could be debris built up behind the extractor at the pivot and spring area. Look for wear, bent or broken extractor as well.
Ammo can also be suspect, higher impulse ammo can have the casing pushed hard against the chamber walls as ejection takes place, thus the extractor can jump off rather than pull the casing free.
If I recall, to remove you push the pin out from the top to the bottom of the slide and put it back in reverse from the bottom to the top.
Good luck, as parts availability is getting more difficult.

Could need a new extractor spring. Not sure what the availability is.

You might need new mag springs. Wouldn't hurt to replace them. I got mine from gunsprings .com. Ordered the 5% plus strength. $7.49 each.

I suggest a new recoil spring along with a new mag spring first. After that you need a competent individual to check and tune your extractor.

The usual mechanical causes of failures-to-extract for S&W 3rd gen's are:
Damaged/worn extractor, extractor spring or a recoil spring.
Replacing the recoil spring is an easy place to start. (Wouldn't hurt to replace mag springs at the same time on a used gun with an unknown maintenance/service history.)
Eyeballing the extractor hook is easy enough (chips or breakage).
Checking spring tension isn't easily done, though. Visual inspection requires removal of the extractor, and checking tension requires use of a force dial gauge (and the appropriate hook extension for pulling on the extractor hook, checking for weight reading at moment of deflection).
Of course, while many folks are inclined to suspect a mechanical cause of such problems, the use of handloads (worn brass, over/under-powered loads, etc), or less-than-optimal quality factory loads (over/under-powered), might sometimes be involved, too.
Condition of chamber is always good to check, as well. (Something stuck against chamber wall?)
