MHitchcock Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) First, I am curious if anyone is using anti-walk pins with their hiperfire triggers. If so, which ones? ***I do see one post where there was a slight degrading of the trigger pull using KNS in one persons build, but am curious if anyone else has any experience*** Second, what ambi safeties are people using? I see that hiperfire lists off 6 or so that they know don't work on their site. Would like to avoid spending $$ on a ambi safety that won't work. Thanks!

Aircooled6racer Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Hello: No ambi for me so I can't speak about those. I am using the KNS anti walk pins on my PCC with the Hiprefire 24C. It is the dog bone looking one. The trigger pull is a little stiffer but not by much. I am using some good grease on the pins so that maybe why it is not much different in pull. Thanks, Eric Link to comment
jlo86cj Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I use the Elftman pins and BAD ASS in my MPX with a 24-3G Link to comment
Flatland Shooter Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 In one of my PSA for Glock magazines lowers I have the Hiperfire 24c trigger held in place with the KNS pins. In their FAQs section, Hiperfire warns that anti-walk, non-rotating pins may affect the trigger pull. http://www.ebay.com/itm/KNS-154-Non-Rotating-Anti-Walk-Pins-with-Black-Gen-ST-Spikes-Spikes-Side-Plates-/162084843238?hash=item25bd026ee6:g:YjMAAOSwNsdXSKTY I also run a CMMG ambi-safety, My trigger had around 2000 rds through it when I added the pins. I was having a problem with the gun doubling and was looking for a solution. The trigger pull was not as good as it was before the pins were installed but with the KNS pins is is not degraded to the point where I would go back to the mil-spec pins. The pins are well greased and I used the pin that holds the screws as the hammer pin since it can rotate if you keep the screws loose enough it will allow the pin to rotate. The screws are held in place with a drop of Loctite. I have three guns with the Hiperfire 24c trigger and have a CMMG ambi-safety in each of them. No problems with any of them. Bill Link to comment
mahamoti Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Just installed a 243G in my PCC, along with Radian ambi safeties and KNS dogbones. Safety works fine, though the Hiperfire did stiffen up the safety throw a bit with the grey springs because the carrier body contacts the safety barrel at the point where the Radian is cut for the 45degree throw option.

MRBACKHAND Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) I use the strike industries ambi safety.No complaints so far. You can find them on eBay for a Couple of dollars cheaper with free shipping. https://www.rainierarms.com/strike-industries-strike-switch-safety-selector/ Edited June 4, 2017 by MRBACKHAND Link to comment
wgj3 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 The anti-walk pins DO degrade thw trigger some. Personal opinion as to whether or not it becomes a deal breaker. I couldnt get the Strike Ambi safety to work worth a flip in my G-mag PCC. Seems that many of them may suffer from a similar problem with poor interface between the trigger group and the various cuts to make the trigger ambidexterous and offer different throw ranges.

sx2gl35 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Using KNS Generation ST with a Hiperfire 24C and a Right Side Noveske/Magpul STS 60 degree selector; two and one half pound trigger pull before and after installation and slick as snot. STS ambi may work, but that I do not know. Link to comment
cecil Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I installed the KNS anti walk pins in my Stag 9mm carbine that has a Hyper Fire 24C trigger... no noticeable change of the trigger after installing the anti walk pins.. Link to comment
pitvpr Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I have mine installed in a Sig MPX with factory ambi-safety, it made the safety a bit stiff at first, but loosened up over time. You shouldn't need anti-walk pins, I'm curious as to why others feels they need to run them? Link to comment

Folks with a lot more PCC experience than me have advised that with the AR platform the forces on the hammer are much greater with 9mm. Over time, they have seen the hammer hole "egg out" enough that it causes problems like hammer follow and failure to reset. Its not so much the anti-walk feature but the dog bones for the anti-rotate that help. The dog bones help spread the stress over both the hammer pin and the trigger pin. Bill Link to comment
Patrick Scott Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 No anti-walk pins here, but JP ambi safety works fine in my QC10/Hiperfire ECL combo Link to comment
longbeard Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I use this safety with no issues. You have to remove the Hiperfire to install it though. http://www.primaryarms.com/p-o-f-usa-ambi-safety-selector-switch-pof00666 Link to comment
jkrispies Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) The KE Arms short throw ambi selector works great with my Hiperfire 24C-- one of my best AR purchases ever, actually: http://www.kearms.com/ambi-selector-bar I believe that KE Arms might have a vendor page here at BEnos. SinistralRifleman was great to work with when I bought the safety from them. I also use anti-walk pins, but I don't recall the exact make... I think KNS, but not sure... No issues with the trigger that I can tell. As a side note, mine is on a .223. I don't have a PCC, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference. Edited June 22, 2017 by jkrispies Link to comment
ccshooting Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I use a Hiperfire ECL, KNS pins and BAD ambi safety. This JP was built from components rather than a complete rifle. Link to comment

As an update: The Radian ambi safety was OKish, but I swapped in a BAD-CASS, and both the safety switch and the trigger are improved. I'd say, for the Hiperfire, avoid the safeties with reversible 90/45 throws. Link to comment
BigBamBoo Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I have Troy ambi safety in two of my PCC's. One is a QC10 COlt lower and the other is a older billet lower with a Hahn dedicated mag block. Both work fine with the HiperFire ECL i have in both rigs. I always "tune" the safety spring so I get a smooth, lighter engage/disengage. I just remove a coil or two at a time until I get the feel I like. Link to comment

Dang, I really like those BAD safety, but I bought a short throw receiver because I wanted to go short throw Still super confused though since I know a lot of people are using the KE Arms sand Seekins safeties which are also not on the list of compatible safeties.

BigBamBoo Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I tried a ambi Seekins with my Hiperfire and it did NOT work. Link to comment
KzBoost Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Using a Radian 90/45 safety with the 45 degree option and KNS pins. Works fine. Perhaps the trigger pull may have been affected a little, but not enough for me to notice. Link to comment

My KE works fine (so far) but I see that they have Seekins 60/90 work as a 60, but not a 90. The KE is a 45/90, and I've only used it as a 45. Wondering if they've noticed an issue in the 90 degree mode? I'm actually pulling my 24c from my .223 and putting it in a PCC... and getting KNS pins based on input from this thread that I remembered and reviewed. I'll report here if I experience any issues.
