Dropping the slide on a chambered round can indeed break an extractor, especially on firearms with low-quality steel or improper extractor fitment. While modern external extractors on brands like Glock and Sig Sauer are generally more robust and easier to replace than traditional internal 'Browning' extractors found on 1911s, a properly beveled and tensioned extractor is crucial for all designs. Steel quality and proper polishing are key factors in preventing extractor failure.
