ipscmaui Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 does anyone know which long firing pin is the best one? also where is the best place to buy one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoshidaex Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Limcat, M2i, Dawson make XL firing pins. Can't go wrong with any of those. You can pick them up from Shooters Connection or Speed Shooter International. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latech15 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I use M2i pins in all my guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CocoBolo Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I use M2i pins in all my guns. I use the Dawson in all my guns, except the CZ Shadow, and that one is from Cajun Gun Works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Gaines Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I am kinda partial towards the dawson hyperdrive. I have gotten a 15lb trigger spring, and a extreme trigger group breaking at 1.5lb and I am igniting cci primers, and its killing winchester primers.

Aircooled6racer Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Hello: The Dawson is the longest of all the extended firing pins and works well. If you install one check to make sure it does not extend beyond the breachface I have 2 slides that it does and I went with the STI firing pins on those. If you are having light strikes try the Dawson, if not leave things alone. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2alpha Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 They are good for preventing primer flow back when you're shooting insane loads. No offense to the insane load folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CocoBolo Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) thanks for the replies. i am getting some light strikes but will try a stronger spring before putting in a longer pin! Sorry but thats just wrong, a lighter firing pin spring will help and heavier spring will make the hits even lighter. A heavier hammer spring will help, but mess up that 1.25# trigger The Dawson pin makes up for weak triceps during loading, it will knock the primer in and set it off. There isn't any downside, and keep the original in your range bag for a spare, you need a spare anyway. This post not a paid advertisement, and wasn't approved by Dawson.
