I can't help with the RIA, but my P18.9 also had some issues with its PXT extractor -- it worked, but needed a strong hold and the extractor required frequent cleaning.
I've since replaced it with the newer Para 'HD' extractor. No further problems, and the gun couldn't care less if I use a death grip or barely hold the gun with three fingers (hard to do on a heavy gun...).
The Para company is gone, but the HD extractor is made by EGW and is still available.
Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold.
