I recently got an old surplus IMI Jericho FS (old enough to have the 3.5" barrel, not the later 3.8"), and I'm slowly getting new pins and springs for service life maintenance. Runs great, runs consistent, but figured why not?
For giggles, I tried CGW's floating trigger pin, the Canik size since the Jericho is a Tanfoglio clone, and I didn't find any reported issues. But I'm running into one now. Install was no problem, yet the trigger travel is now horrible, especially in single action (I haven't done any trigger polishing whatsoever).
1: With the original roll pin, the single action would break just before the trigger shoe physically touches the back.
2: With the floating pin, it physically touches the back, and needs quite a bit of significant extra pressure to finally break.
Both times are with the trigger return spring the gun came with, and the only other new parts so far being the hammer cup and cup pin. Put the old parts back in just in case, but same issue. Slots in perfectly, no slop in the pin hole. Looked around to see if anyone had this issue, but didn't find anything yet.
Yes, I could just keep the original pin or get a new roll pin. But what in the world is going on, and could this be a sign of something else becoming a problem?
