The extractor removes the spent shell after the gun has fired. I am sure most people think of the extractor as part of a gun. That may well be true. Keep in mind that the extractor also could be a man. In that case the extractor would be part of a gun crew.

How do you replace the extractor on a cobra 380 hand gun?

Clear the pistol of all ammunition, remove magazine. Remove slide. Press extractor pin out with a pin punch. This will release extractor and extractor spring. Insert extractor spring and new extractor, press into place, hold while reinserting extractor pin. Or replace it- a new one costs what a gunsmith will charge to repair one.

When the slide or bolt moves to the rear, part of that bolt- the extractor- grips the rim or groove of the cartridge case, and pulls it out of the chamber. At the end of the stroke, another part, the ejector, flips the cartridge out from under the extractor, and out of the gun.
