For those of you with a 1911: I have a Colt Gov't Model Series 70. I just broke the extractor. Is this pretty common? It's really not a big deal, I just wanted to make sure the problem isn't a result of something deeper.

I have never broke an extractor in any of my 1911's but have seen it happen twice. Both times it was a Colt and Wolf steel cased ammo. I wonder if that is the case with your pistol. I know one of my Kimber's sometimes fails to extract steel Wolf cases but the other never misses a beat.

I doubt the temp differential mattered. We have shot our room temp 1911s off the back deck when it was 0-10 degrees while testing some new reload for functioning. Most likely just your extractor's time to go. Replace it with a Colt or good aftermarket and keep on shooting.
