Just learned that my May 2012 G23 Gen 3, S/N TCX2xx has an extractor with the dip. It was very hard for me to find photos of what I should be looking for. Anyway, here are the photos from m4carbine.net

Replacements are on the way from midwayusa.com

EDIT: I'm not sure Midway has the new non-dipped extractors for .40 Glocks. All the posts I've seen referring to the new non-dipped design have referenced 9mm extractors.

Out of 155 rounds fired so far in my new G23 3rd gen, I've had no malfunctions, but one ejected case hit me in the forehead. Erratic ejections are attributed to a new MIM process Glock started using about 2009 to manufacture the extractors.

Keep hearing but don't know what "MIM" means, other need quick reflexes to avoid head bonks. Anybody know?

The ones I have seen can be detected without even removing the extractor from the slide.
If you look at the top edge of the extractor as it sits in the slide you can see the dip,if not it's as simple as a slide strip. SJ 40

I have an EXO G27, RHS serial. I don't see the dip. Did not take the slide apart, but I don't see it.
It is an LCI extractor,
No problems with the gun.

I get brass to the face I have the 336 ejector. Could someone let me know if my G19 has the dip or non-dipped extractor I have pics below.

The last 2 pics are the same I just rotated for a different angle.
If you need more pics let me know. Thanks fellas.

Your Extractor or the portion needed to identify it is located on the right hand side of the slide,directly behind the ejection port. It's not seen from the correct angle in those photographs.

Look along the top edge of it between the top edge from the right hand side of the slide,on many guns it can be seen without having to detail strip the slide. SJ 40

To me it appears to be dipped but in the photo along the top edge where it resides in it's recess in the slide,their is a shadow thrown on the top edge of the extractor. SJ 40

Thanks. It would make sense that it is dipped based on the serial, my G26 appears to be identical.

[Paul53]

SJ is right, it's dipped.

[SJ 40]

One of our GT gurus Butch has somewhere on hear taken excellent photos of Glock extractors or at least I think I remember seeing one he had taken,of Glock extractors Machined ,investment cast.MiMed if he sees this maybe he could repost it.
Actually his photos should be collected and put in a photo resources section,they are of that quality. SJ 40

I looked at all the pics and still can't see the difference of dipped and non dipped. Can someone copy the pic then open in Paint and then red circle the area of dippage (is that a word?)

That would be most appreciated.

[MGman]

Here is the dipped and non dipped (note the red areas for differences.

It looks like a shadow, but in good light you'll see a curve or dip here. It's not profound, but hold a strait edge up to it and it's obvious,

Wait did you just reply to yourself and answer the question?

Actually yes I did.

I took more time to look and then I could see the difference...so I posted with red to show others.
