Good review. I think I have the same nick on the extractor pin. The nick did get bigger and I did start getting a few FTE. I think my nick was 180 degrees from the small chamfer so I thought it was from the shoulder of the extractor. Not 100% sure since it was late that night and I just wanted to polish the little bit of raised metal down behind the nick and reassemble.

I think the "nick" that you speak of is supposed to be there.
My range report:
Complete disassembly of slide and frame for overall cleaning. The firing pin channel and spring inside the firing pin had the most crud. The extractor had zero dirt but I did a very slight polish as recomended on the extractor and pin. Used Tetra gun grease in the slide rails and Militec and FP-10 on the bbl, and internals. I find that the Militec stays put better than the FP-10 but I like them both. I did not oil firing pin, firing pin spring or extractor at all. The mags took the most time to take apart and get all the old stuff off them inside and out.
Range time, 200rnds of Blazer, 100rnds of Blazer Brass and about 100rnds of WWB and 20 Remington GS 124grn +p. NO PROBLEMS. What is wrong with this gun? I thought to expect problems, I must have gotten one of the good ones. It did get a little hot. From the bench at 15 yards I was able to get a few clusters and clovers. Clovers = 3 shots touching and Clusters = 5 shots touching.
Took home and repeated original cleaning and was suprised to find it was alot less dirty than any Glock that I have shoot that many round thru. I did use less Tetra gun grease this time and less oil, maybe this time I can get some malfuntions.
Needless to say I was and am very impressed with this little M9. It reminds me of what a G19 should be. Well until next time, safe shooting. I think that I'll need to place another order thru Natchez for an extra 1000rnd of Blazer since they performed very well. I think that I sold a few more after last nights shooting session. The sights took me the longest to get used to but the trigger was a nice suprise.
Just for kicks, we shot from 20 and 25 yards and I was able to hit well on a 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of paper.

Actually I've posted the success of my S40 before....which has had about several hundred rounds fired of .40 and 357 SIG (with an M357 barrel) with no problems.
My M9 has only had one malf, also with several hundred rounds.
My S9 has had no malfs but a curious problem NOT wanting to eject an empty mag unless your rip it out.
My plated M40 is proving to be reliable after I reinstalled the extractor....and then there's my M357.
So there!
