Got a caliper? I took .022” off mine only because that made the entire stack of pins and spring match my P380. Try taking off .010 at a time.

Ok - please excuse my ignorance, but... i just used a file and shaved a bit off the rear extractor pin of the cw380. Hard to say how much because the caliper I have is crap. But basically, with the back plate off, it sits a little below the slide. It obviously has to compress to get the the back plate on. Does anyone have an idea on how it should look "eyeballed"? I wont be able to take it to the range for a couple of days, but I am hoping I've gotten enough off of it. I can see metal "smears" on the file, but no flakes of metal from the pin. There is obvious wear though, where I filed.
If it’s shorter than what it was and you still have to compress it to get the back plate on, give it a go. Hand cycle some round through it first.

Thanks. I will give it a try. It hand cycles as long as i put a little into it..... Should it be short enough so you dont have to compress it to put the back plate on? I would think at that point it is too loose.
Yes I would think that is too much because then there would be little to no tension on the extractor.
