What steel to use to make a pistol extractor?

Thinking about making a obsolete pistol extractor that is no longer available.
What would be the best metal to use?
I'm thinking A2 tool steel with a hardness of RC 58-60 should work.

Specially if the extractor, has a small cross section in the "hook" area. Wouldn't be heat treating it at all.
Grendel P-30

I always selected the steel according to the job it needed to do.
IE>> If it had to "bend" or "flex" on every cycle, then a different type was used than if the piece
needed to be "hardfaced" to not wear out. A hammer head treated to be too brittle is just a handgranade waiting to explode. A drill bit too soft is just a waste of a drill motor's rotations.

added Not the first time 'GunParts' is wrong. I think the quality you are looking for in steel is "toughness" that can surface harden to resist wear.
That item is not only 'out of stock' it is also incorrect. The extractor for the P-30 is NOT shaped as shown.
I have the machinist drawing with dimensions for the extractor and it's not like gunparts shows nor does it interchange with the P-12, the extractor shown.

I saw that a few years ago.
Notice where it says this listing is no longer active? Didn't try to call.
