PatriotDefense Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 7 hours ago, Polymer said: Is there a reason the PD firing pin end that contacts hammer come to a dome/point? I have only a couple thousand rounds with it and there is already a dimple/deformation of the hammer face. See below response from Johnbu, he's on the money. 55 minutes ago, MemphisMechanic said: Because they copied the profile of the EGD Extreme pin back there, I'd bet. Actually we tested several different designs, having a flat contact area created "mushrooming". This causes issues passing in and out of the stop plate. We settled on the dome shape just like the Xtreme Pin because it's a superior design. 30 minutes ago, johnbu said: Variable hardness of the hammer is my thought. the "dome" end allows it to glide in and out of the keeper (that end plate) with less friction.

That would really be an expensive series of events, right @B_RAD? Guys, I ain't got no sense! Yeah, it's been a revolving door of guns I'm shooting. I'm shooting cz this weekend at a local, then following two weekends for OK State IDPA and AR USPSA sectional. I like the CZ but wish it had the longer grip, front to back, of the Tanfo. I just chalk it up to still being fairly new to these games. So, I'm trying everything a couple of times to see what I like best. Might even give the Shadow 2 another try. Unless I find a Lim Pro first. It'd be nice to shoot the same gun in idpa and uspsa. Anyone got one? Edited June 2, 2017 by B_RAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbu Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Both. The longer radius also makes it balance different. Not much different, but a bit different. Accuracy and point-ability is, imho, identical between them. 34 minutes ago, zombywoof said: John, is that because of the longer sight radius or is it a balance issue?

NWfront Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I've been using the PD firing pin/spring combo for about 3000 trouble free rounds but I did notice some drag marks on the primers today. It did this with both 9 & 10lb recoil springs. I know it's common in some guns so I'm not sure if I should be concerned or not. Just as a test I threw the stock pin/spring and the problem went away.

NWfront Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 How often should I replace the PD firing pin spring? Even though it wasn't that old it was looking a little rough so I ordered a replacement for good measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polymer Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 The thickest part of my PD firing pin, it is ribbed, I can hear and feel it as I run my fingernail across it. Anyone else have this? Won't this cause drag in the firing pin channel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
