I have wanted to change out my extractor for some time but couldn't figure how to get it pryed out in such a narrow space. Paint lid opener was genius! Thanks for the info.
I think my extractor on my XDS 45 is bad. Too many stovepipes, failure to extract, failure to feed, etc. Gonna try to replace it myself with your tool. Thanks for the tip!
My dv8 was initially what I thought was a covid delay, but after my experience with their lack of communication and about the same time frame for delivery the second time, I cannot recommend this company. There were machining issues that prevented cycling so I had to send it back. I'm glad this worked for you.
Excellent information brother. And that slide you bought looks absolutely brilliant. Would really like to hear about how it performs, as well as any other modifications you may have done.
The new slide is currently back at the manufacturer. They're addressing some milling issues that may be related to my early original XD. That said, I have had some trouble with their communication regarding getting this so I cannot, in good conscience, recommend them. I have added a new trigger, sear, firing pin and springs-with those and the original slide this gun performs so much better than the factory, but at a cost. Hopefully I can get the new slide to work within this system some day.
I don't use a laser/light yet so I have no recommendations in that department. The embossing is simple, there are a lot of videos here on how to. Just fill the area with your chosen color enamel paint, I used a toothpick, wait for it to dry, then wipe all the excess off with lacquer thinner. I got paint from the hobby store.
Do you have to disassemble the firing pin and everything else in order to take the extractor out or can you just take the extractor out. My extractor broke and I want to replace it.

Thanks for the video. Luckily I had a paint lid opener already and it made quick and easy work of removing my XD extractor.

This looks the business! I'll try to remember in a day or two to thank you if it helps.
Thanks for the info, you ROCK!
Great vid. Was having the same problem I and have the exact same slide from dv8 (that took 9 months to get). Thanks!

Awesome 👍, thanks.
You sir... Are a fuckin genius!!! Definitely using this method next detailed cleaning on my xdm .45....

Nope. The extractor is exposed as soon as you take the slide off. No need for any other disassembly.
@@billkeenan1085 thank you. Your the best!
I was going to purchase one of these but this poor design is the reason I got the Glock
Did nobody notice the shaking? Please sir, get checked for Parkinsons or another nervous condition.
