evild Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Any noticible difference changing out the stock firing pin safety for a titanium one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPatterson Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 NO. Most unnecessary part I have ever seen used. Far better to go with a lighter firing pin safety spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evild Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Thanks, didn't think it was worth anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Unless the aftermarket striker has different geometry, there won't be any change in the trigger weight or feel. Supposedly the lighter pin will shorten lock time, and that's supposed to be good in that there is less time for the POI to drift from the POA after the striker is released. Now whether that really causes any measureable change in accuracy is open to debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal82 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I had the Ti version and didn't like it, it scratched and was not smooth. I do like the stock safety with the lighter spring. Of course a good polish job works well. What I've done recently that I really like is I dome/round the stock safety like the Ti one. I chuck it in a drill and use my stones to round the corners, fine stone it and then polish. Now that makes the best feel I've felt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do a little at a time until the sharp corners are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magsz Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 The only good part about the ti safety is that its pre domed. If you do not have the means to dome your stock safety then the ti unit is worth it as the cost is minimal. I havent noticed any peening, scratching or damage to the domes of any of my Ti units but there IS peening where the striker engages the unit. I have seen similar peening on factory units as well.

Marshal82 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I'll take pics and post them, all I did was chuck the stock safety pin into my re-chargable drill and used my Lansky knife sharpening stones to round the corners so it's a full dome. Started with the medium (green) until is was the right shape and then used the fine (blue) stone to smooth out then polish with my dremal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone sell a steel plunger that is already rounded? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
