I went to the range today and after 20 rounds my 9mm service would not eject any shells. I tried different ammo, and 2 other mags. All had the same problem. I stipped it down out there and everything looks in order. The spent round would stay in the chamber
Any input would help.

i was hoping this was some sort of funny political stuff...sorry. no help here...what would the spent casing do? stay in the chamber? stovepipe? you should add some more description...

Sounds like a broken extractor.

The Knight Of Light · 09-24-2006, 06:31 PM

So it would not remove the spent round or would not fling it away from the gun????? Stove pipes? Double feeding? anything else to add?

The spent round would not come out of the barrel and the next round would catch the bottom of the spent caseing.

OK double feed is the malfunction you describe. You need to get out your pistol and field strip it. Take a good hard look at the extractor using a bright lamp or flashlight. Look for cracks, chips, or if it is just gone completely. Take some pics and post them if you need to.

I looked a little closer today and yep the extractor is broken. I've never had to fix one. Is it a hard job to do?

Send it back to springfield they are the only ones that can fix it. Sorry. If you could take some pictures before you send it please post them and we will be able to show other members what a broken extractor looks like.

This could possibly sound stupid, but how do I post a picture(I'm not what you call computer smart). As soon as I figure it out I would be more than happy to
