CarlB86 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Mine looks a bit like that, I keep polishing that spot smooth. I too have the heavy firing pin indentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are even and the plate takes all the wear, although the gun is barely 2,000 rounds old yet. Edited June 9, 2017 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No material on the slide, just a very gradual wear on the hammer. I did "smooth & polish" the firing pin keeper almost immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemoe83 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Some of firing pin retainer plates are loose and can be pushed upward exposing the slide edge. You have to bevel the edge flush with plate pushed up. I had 1 gun that started to malfunction (failure to eject) due to the slide hanging up on the hammer because the slide chewed a groove into it. I just sanded the groove out the hammer and beveled the slide. It has shown no more wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
