Extended firing pin and slam fires and ADs?

Been thinking about getting an extended firing pin to help ignite my tula/wolf primers for my STI 2011 tactical in 9mm.

is it possible for the gun to discharge with the extended pin if dropped on the ground? I was looking at getting the dawson precision extended pin

also likely to slam fire as well?

Anything is possible, but we use extended all the time in open guns. If the hammer falls, extended firing pin or standard, Bang!

If firing pin spring is appropriate, it shouldn't be an issue.

i'm running a stock gun...should i change out the firing pin spring as well when i use the extended firing pin?

Nope. If the spring works today, it will work with an extended.
