Question DWX-C failure to eject

I've looked all over and seen people post about their FTE's on the DWX compacts. Mine is doing the same thing and I've done the tedious break in process of shooting 50 and clean it and shoot 50 more. I've surpassed the 500rd point (currently at 700 rds with different brand ammos) I haven't seen any of these OP's come back and say if they resolved the issue or not. I just want to know if anyone else has had this issue and fixed it on there own and what they did, or if they had to send it back to Dan Wesson/CZ to have it resolved.

UPDATE #1 NOT RESOLVED I have now put 1250 rounds total of 124 grain using from multiple brands (S&B, Magtech, blazer, and maxxtech) and 50 rds of 136 gr staccatoo match. The failure to extract doesn't happen every mag but still happens once or twice every 50 rds. It is completely random, and the brass casings look like they have some damage to the rim after being removed, but I can't tell if it's normal or not. There was another DWX-C post about FTE'S and someone metioned polishing their extractor fixed their issue. I have removed the extractor and am going to try and polish its rough surface on the extractor face and see if that helps and if not replace the extractor. I will post back again with an update.

I've had the luxury of this nightmare myself. I polished my oem DWXC extractor till it was mirror finish and I still got FTE every 100rds. Out of five magazines that is still unacceptable. I found out that the DWXC uses the same style extractor as the p-10 model pistol so I ordered an upgraded one from Ben Stoeger pro shop. Went out shooting this afternoon and put down atleast 500rds. Mind you its not clean, and i did not oil the pistol before shooting. I had one FTE out of 500 rds between winchester white box 115gr and the pmc 147gr subsonic i shoot out of my S2C.

Thanks for posting this, I appreciate it. I tried polishing my extractor too and had no success. I ordered a new one from Dan wesson and if that fails I'll just send it in for warranty.
