VICIOUS Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 HI Gang; I read the rules and could not find any rule saying smith and Wesson 1911 with the external extractor is legal or not? All the rest of the gun fits the rules, just wish to check on this point. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 It would NOT be legal in Traditional. The Committee is meeting next week and I will bring it up for discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VICIOUS Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 THANKS; That would be good of you. I shoot Modern, I have other 1911 .There is also other 1911 with factory external extractors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe E.S. Corpus Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I had assumed that an otherwise compliant 1911 with an external extractor, like the S&W or the Sig Sauer, would be legal. I will watch for an update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sassy Teton Lady Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 This has been addressed before. http://www.sassnet.com/wildbunch/forum/index.php?topic=468.msg3475#msg3475 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VICIOUS Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 HI Gang; I was informed by a Governor that external extractors were NOT legal. So that is why I am looking to the Rules committee or who ever has the final say to give a official YES NO answer. I have several 1911 s but do not wish to show up with illegal gun in modern.

Lone Dog Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Been campaigning a coupla Smiths for years and they are my faves. They will feed anything even stuff that chokes the Ruger SR1911. No one has ever batted an eye at them shooting Modern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I just got back from SHOT. Met with Evil and Bubba. As was posted by Pecos in 2011, external extractors ARE LEGAL in the Modern category. They are NOT LEGAL in the Traditional category. It is so seldom brought up that it has never been mentioned in the rules as an allowable modification in the Modern category. I will make a not to include it in the 2018 Handbooks.
