Is this ejector on my SA 1911-A1 broken?

ok, I wasn't sure, and I'm having ejection failures, so I can rule that out, thanks.

hows the tension on the extractor? You may want to get another ejector with a little more leg on the front.

The rim of the empty casing is getting stuck behind the extractor, and the slide is closing on it.  When I lock the slide back, the casing remains wedged in behind the extractor, I have to wiggle the crap out of it to get it loose.

well, you could take some tension off the extractor takes 2 minutes to do and no tools.  I would replace the ejector with a modern extended ejector as well.
