emjei Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Just received my Patriot Defense Firing PinFirst thing I noticed is the fact that it feels smoooooth Is about as long as the Henning Extended FP but way heavierPencil test shows about 2 inches of improvement Range review scheduled for tomorrow Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using TapatalkLeft OEMMiddle PDRight Henning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 That's some sexy stuff right there, I wonder if mine is waiting at home. I have even more hope for the pin's extra depth to help light stubborn primers than I do the extra weight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MemphisMechanic Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 That photo is helpful. I see four key places where you managed to make the pin weigh more. Hopefully it puts my gun over the edge from 95% to 100% reliability without making any other modifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billthemarine2862 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 I just want to say that I am extremely unhappy with my purchase. By sending the new FP pre-polished I lost a good bit of time working over the part with Blue Magic. So now I don't get to huff the fumes and I have to spend time with my wife tonight now instead... In all seriousness I got mine today. I can't wait to get out to the range to try it out. I have not had reliability issues since I got rid of the Henning FP but, now I can see just how low I can get the hammer spring while staying 100% reliable ignition. It certainly looks like it is going to be a home run for PD. Thanks for all effort getting this out so fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V2plus25 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Still awaiting the USPS delivery of my firing pin. Apparently national returns day has been keeping them busy. Just wondering if the new polished firing pin comes complete with a vial of unicorn tears I can use to polish my Lim Pro with or is that vial a separate purchase on the PD website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe once supply picks up we'll offer vials of unicorn tears on the site for all your polishing needs. Still not convinced the one i bought off gunbroker is full bred or not......

V2plus25 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Ahahahahahahaaaa finally the new firing pin showed up! Looks like I'm all ready to put these parts in. All I'm missing now is the dremel felt bit doused in unicorn tears to ensure the ultimate polish job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send me that bourbon and I'll have your gun polished so like a mirror a coke head would do lines off your trigger bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
