A slide for a self-loading pistol, said slide comprising:

• a breech block having a breech face;
• an extractor mounted on said slide adjacent to said breech face, said extractor comprising a body having a longitudinal axis oriented transversely to said breech face, said body comprising a hook projecting beyond said breech face;
• a pivot pin mounted on said slide, said pivot pin being oriented perpendicular to said longitudinal axis of said body, said body being pivotably mounted on said pivot pin;
• a surface positioned on said body between said pivot pin and said hook, said surface comprising at least first and second surface portions, said first surface portion being offset toward said breech block relatively to said second surface portion, said first surface portion comprising at least first and second step surfaces, said first step surface being offset toward said breech block relatively to said second step surface.
