Cleaning the M&P 9mm extractor in the slide

[GKC]

I am interested to know how you clean the extractor in the slide (that is, without removing it from the slide.) I do remove the striker/firing pin and clean out the channel periodically, but I'd rather not mess with removing the extractor from the slide, if I can clean it adequately without doing so.

Thanks.

If you use your wife's toothbrush, be sure to put it back when you are done.

Tooth brush and a good cleaner. At about 1400 rounds i cleaned out the striker and extractor, wont do it again till i hit 3000 rounds.
