    I recently purchased a new P10C and found that the firing pin indentations on the primers are very weak and resulted in many misfires even in the factory configuration.

    As a test I placed a pencil with a clean square bottom in the barrel and tested the trigger. the pencil barely budged, not even an inch.

    Different striker springs including a Glock 3 lb and an Eemann Tech 4 lb yielded the same results.

    Back to the gun shop where a new P10C and P10F gave the same pencil test results. However a Glock sent the pencil at least 6 feet.

    Various forum members have had success with these weapons, Cha-Lee and RowdyB amongst others, so I need to know whether my findings are abnormal or is the preferred fix to use a replacement firing pin such as Overwatch Precision or Cajun.

    A member of the club has such a gun. No changes have been made to it and in every training session it has this phenomenon with factory ammo with a soft primer.

  2. The GLOCK "New York" trigger has its name from the New York Police Department.

    It facilitates officers changing from revolvers to pistols. This part increases trigger pull weight from

    factory standard 5.5 lb. to 8 lb.

     

    I don't think anyone would want to imitate such a thing.🤣

    Mine got way rustier than it should’ve been, I had it sand blasted yesterday and today I’m sanding/filing all the pitting out of it. I’ll give the rails a good look and potentially hit them with 600 grit, but I’ve got 2K rounds through it already and everything’s held up great so far. 

    so u don't need do nothing anymore👍 only lube rails.

    You must have been unlucky because they used a recycled rusty Skoda🤣

    Supposedly it would help prolong the life of the slide stop. I use the thick buffer on all of my 3 S2s. I have shot over 8K rounds through my practice gun so far and the slide stop is still good

    There is no connection between the service life  of these 2 parts.😉

    Here's a technique that worked well for me with my XD.  I tried the usual options, Kroil, heat, freezing, hammer & punch,

    bigger hammer & punch.  Nothing worked.  I tried my cheapo Harbor Freight air hammer with a tapered punch chisel and the sight came off in about 3 seconds.  Flew across the garage.

     

    You THINK you're hitting the sight hard with a hammer & punch ... but it's nothing like the concentrated force of the air hammer. 

     

    If you still can't get a Springfield sight removed, this is the guy well known on the XD forums for inexpensive sight work:

    The next idea is to shoot this sight with a 22 rifle🤣

    So how do they know "nothing"touched the trigger did he walk in front of an xray machine when it discharged?

    There are special people, who have a sixth sense like wild animals. That's why they know everything.😉

    Maybe it's the holster shot and not the gun.?😉

    Hi all, 

     

    I have a 5” prodigy as a backup LO gun. I’ve been wanting to build my own 2011 for a bit now and was wondering if I’m insane for thinking I could get a new barrel in 38SC and fit it, drill/tap frame for optics mount etc.  

     

    Anyone out ther try it or have any constructive advice? 

    If you have access to a lathe and a  milling machine  then there is no problem doing it. 👍

    I thought the bull armory guns were cracking slides at a few thousand rounds. I could be wrong though but, it seems like there was a thread on here where a guy was sending them in at about 8 to 10,000 rounds

    What 8k to 10k?  🙈 According to the review that was here on the forum barely 7.5k😉

    I hope you never have an ND of some kind, but I can virtually guarantee that if you do, you will have a very hard time finding any expert witness who will testify that a firearm with a 1 pound trigger is safe.  It isn't and that is ridiculous.  I actually clicked on this thread because I thought it was a joke, but apparently it's not.

    Just remember that even a gun with a 10 pound trigger pool weight  is not safe.😉
