About This Part

The extractor pin is a vital component of the M&P Bodyguard 380's extraction system. This precision-manufactured pin secures the extractor to the slide, preventing it from moving out of position or falling out during operation, disassembly, or maintenance. The extractor pin ensures the extractor remains properly aligned and positioned to grip the rim of the cartridge case and pull it rearward out of the chamber as the slide cycles.

Without a properly installed extractor pin, the extractor could shift position, fall out of the slide, or fail to function correctly. This small but critical pin is essential for reliable extraction and safe firearm operation. The extractor pin must be precisely manufactured to exact tolerances to fit securely in the slide while allowing proper extractor movement and function.

A worn, damaged, or missing extractor pin can cause extractor malfunctions, extraction failures, stovepipe malfunctions, or even loss of the extractor during operation. Replacing it with a genuine Smith & Wesson factory part ensures proper extractor retention and reliable extraction.
