TJART Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 If I can trade out for a g34, it's a done deal. Can't solve the light strike issue. Went from the 11# to the 13# and seemed to be doing ok. Started reloading S&B primers and got a 20% PER MAG light strike condition. So sick and pissed off right now. Anyone have a glock friend looking to trade out a 34, get them in touch with me. Thanks.

zhunter Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Let me use an analogy here... So you are putting 87 octane gasoline in a race car???? S & B primers???? Do you have an extending firing pin with a reduced power FP Spring? How deep are you seating your primers? Hopefully below flush! All kidding aside, feed that thing what it deserves. With a 11.5# hammer spring and the FP and FP Spring I mentioned above that thing will light up any CCI, Winchester or Federal SP Primer there is. But IF you want a Glock get it.

If It were the 11.5#, I'd be inclined to understand what you are saying. But 2/10 failure due to light strike is stupid. I'm setting them as deep as my press allows. I've had ZERO issue with any other primer and my press. ZERO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZinZA Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 A 13 pound hammer spring should have no problems setting off S&B primers. Is the hammer dragging on something to slow its fall? Is the firing pin tunnel clean? It seems unusual. S&B primers and shadows with 13 pound springs are a dime a dozen here in South Africa - by far the most popular gun in production, and even lots in standard (ipsc) Sent by Jedi mind control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally couldn't get the 11.5# to light anything off, so moved to 13#. That was running okay until I switched to the S&B's. No its easily 20% light strike situation. I'll pull the fp tomorrow and check, but I doubt it's fouled in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreas Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'm running an 11.5# hammer springs in my SP01 Shadows and just started digging into my stash of S&B primers. Zero problems so far. Are you seating your primers below the level of the case head? I have my 1050 set to smash them into the pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 You're running an extended firing pin, right? Also, firing pin needs to be replaced periodically, as it shortens over time. around 20k rounds is a safe place if you're doing lots of dry firing.

TJART Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 No plug in the fpb channel. But I've had light strike issues way before I removed it. Gun has less than 2k rounds through it. I seat them as far as my press will allow. But to be fair to my press, the gun has had light strikes before w even factory ammo. Thanks all for chiming in.

kneelingatlas Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Its important to polish the sides of the hammer where it rubs on the frame. Federal primers would also be a big help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just sent an email to David, I'll see what he says.What kind of CZ? SP01 Safety, non-anything. As Atlas has pointed out, but I will re-iterate, you need to polish the sides of that hammer where it sits in the frame, then take a piece of sand paper and run it on the inside of frame at the corresponding surfaces where it will rub and make sure you're knocking down any high points in the finish. I would suspect and expect this is where your issue is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 An important part of the polishing often neglected is polishing the corresponding parts of the frame where the moving parts touch and the insides of pin holes; this can be done by rolling fine sand paper and pulling it through the pin holes.

MrRick Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) I have the same issue with a STOCK 97BD. It would ignite Federal primers/ammo 100% but all others will fail 2 rounds a magazine. Found out I have a slightly bent firing pin. This is on a brand new CZ. Edited January 11, 2016 by MrRick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 You should be able to go 13# main, ext firing pin and be pretty good to go. I would double check the firing pin is true, and there is no interference coming from any where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motosapiens Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I've had ZERO issue with any other primer and my press. ZERO. so you're using the only brand of primers that doesn't work and you're complaining about the gun? I think I see an easy solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
