These gauges combined with a trigger pull gauge/scale are essential to set the extractor of a 1911. When using the Weigand Extractor tool you have a measurable value to set the extractor's tension on the cartridge. With out these and a trigger pull gauge/scale it is guestimation.not exactly exact and only experience will help.
Excellent tool, but it has a shelf life 05/02/2016
I bought one of these when building a 1911 and have used it recently to set extractor tension on another build. You just attach a trigger pull gauge to the hole and insert the side with the caliber you are using and pull it until it comes free. The reading is the tension. Very simple, straightforward, and effective. After building my Caspian, the gun has run an easy 10,000 rounds last season without any failures to extract or feed and the gun is my primary pistol for USPSA. Used in conjunction with the 10-8 extractor function test, you'll have an idea how good your extractor is doing.
I will add one caveat. The piece is brass and after extended usage, it will decrease in size, and you won't get correct readings. Currently mine is 0.470" in diameter at its widest point, which is about .01" too small and it won't give correct readings anymore. I'll be buying another, as it really does work, but be sure to check the dimensions from time to time to be sure you're getting the right readings.
