Then you definitely hit a home run with the trade. The external extractors on the Kimber can be quite problematic based on my experience. I have the tactical pro II and it had the external extractor but now has the internal one. Since it was fixed I've had one jam in about 1000 rounds vs. 3 or 4 jams for every 25 rounds with the external version. Kimber has gotten away from the external version. I suspect they just had too many problems with them.
