What has been the problem with Kimbers ex. extractor.  Need to know looking at picking up a Kimber that may have it on it.

Im curious myself, just picked up a Desert Warrior.

Is this something that can be fixed without much grief??

the warrior only comes out w/ the regular Internal Extractor

FWIW: you can send an external ex slide back to kimber and ask em to replace it

Well it's not a poor concept, definity not executed well.  My ex. extractor has worked fine but, Kimber will be replacing it here soon.  I just don't trust it.
