ElMateo487 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 So are we saying a stock pin, after rounding the tip (just the tip) is roughly the same thing as an Xtreme pin?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ProNot the tip. The area the hammer strikes on the back. Otherwise they are identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not identical. The XTreme pin comes with 77% more marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tell the match staff that you lube your gun with Blue Magic or Flitz, and you do a lot of dryfire. Rub it in! I do alot of dry fire tho!

Or I could tell you that they are identical besides the hammer impact surface, like previously stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emjei Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Reason I ask is because It seems there are 2 different versions of the Xtreme Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only thing up in the air is that some people say the older stock firing pins are not the same as the xtreme pins. While the newer pins are the same.

Dunno if that means "This pin we designed" or "this new version of our pin"I am sure someone knows around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1eyedfatman Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Question. For someone trying to stay IDPA SSP legal with their Limited Pro and not installing the Xtreme Delta or Titan hammers, would the best thing to do is to install the Solid Hammer in place of the stock Limited Pro heart shaped hammer? - I'm thinking the Solid Hammer is no doubt IDPA SSP legal. - Based on this post's information, the Solid Hammer looks significantly more powerful than the heart shaped hammer especially when paired with the EG firing pin (I use the PD heavier/longer firing pin and liter spring). - In regards to the BOLO, its seems to take a little bit of force out of the hammer, but will significantly improve the SA trigger. Given that, I don't think I want to install a BOLO unless I can put in a better hammer to increase the force. I'm already sitting at DA 6.25 / SA 2.5 with a PD 14# hammer spring and polishing, but I don't want a BOLO to force me up to a 15.5# hammer spring and increase my DA or get lite primer strikes with my 14# spring. So...would the Solid Hammer be the way to go for me and would it significantly increase the strike force which may... - Eliminate lite strikes. - Maybe allow me to go down to the 13# hammer spring which should decrease my DA pull. - Allow me to install the BOLO without impacting my DA or causing lite strikes.

MemphisMechanic Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) Ammo first: What primer are you going to feed this gun, off of which press, has the chamber been reamed, and how deeply do your primer depths actually, precisely measure? If you're seating Winchesters on a 1050 at least .005" below flush, I'd tell you to simply install a Bolo with current hammer, drop down to a 13 pound PD spring, and expect a reliable gun. If you want to feed it factory ammo or CCI primers, that changes things. Edited April 16, 2017 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to feed it factory ammo or CCI primers, that changes things. I load with Winchester primers on a Dillon 650. A guy is going to sell me 1k Federal primers to try out, but I'd rather rely on Winchester if possible for availability. I do like using "factory" ammo for sanctioned matches like Freedom Munitions or Stand One Armory Chubbies 147gr (lets not even get into the discussion here about how people's reloads are better then factory ammo). When I tested several rounds yesterday with my reloads, FM 147 and Chubbies 147 with the 14# PD hammer spring, there were no lite strikes. When I used the 13# spring, there were some. Barrel has been reamed by PD. Edited April 16, 2017 by 1eyedfatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
