I had looked at getting a CD pistol before getting my FN 9mm. I called KBI ( a local importer). The guy I spoke with was going to "get back to me" with a price. That was over 2 months ago. I'm glad I decided not to wait. Talk about piss-poor customer service. Used is the only way I'd get one. Even at that, I'd be worried about service if anything ever went wrong with the gun. That being said, they are a nice looking piece.

It's not normal to have the extractor hanging out like that. Assuming it is working correctly and it's business end is extending past the breech face the correct amount, then maybe it is just out of spec at the rear and could be rectified by filing and polishing it's tail to make it flush with the slide.

Damned poor QC to let a thing like that get by. Not fatal though, if it's working correctly.

How many rounds did you test it with, and did they all eject correctly?
