Thanks XD45

The Kel-Tec perspective you offer is particuarly useful as locally their P3AT (and to a lesser degree the P32 & PF9) is very popular due to ease of concealment and price point.

I'm not necessarily faulting the pistols, as they are admittedly designed to be a "carry frequently, shoot infrequently" item. It appears that their potential for wear based upon your experience is due to a "light duty" extractor design being subjected to "less pliable than others" case.

One item I did notice but failed to mention in my original post was that I do notice that the residue on the action / slide feels a bit "gummier", I was attributing this to whatever lubricant and / or coating that Wolf uses on the steel cases. Makes you wonder if the wear is in part due to the case being "stickier" after firing and making extraction slightly more difficult.

Do you commonly use additional spray lubricant or similar when firing your AR / AK rifles during extended sessions?

Thanks again...
