ARac40 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 https://atlasgunworks.com/product/atlas-gunworks-firing-pin-stop/ Anyone ever play around with this? Anything noticeably different with it installed? It peaked my interest... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiden Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 What is it that interests you? The flat angle vs a radius? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fo0 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 does this produce more recoil than a rounded fps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) I have played around with many different angles such as Cheely, Caspian, Harrison, EGW and self made FPS. There is more to it than just changing it out to get it right. It has to work with your load and recoil spring(and MS). Currently run Cheely fps on open guns and caspian on minor SS. The Cheely is very similar to the one you posted. But they are cheap and easy to change out at the range. https://www.shootersconnectionstore.com/Cheely-Custom-Flat-Top-Firing-Pin-Stop-P3270.aspx Edited February 18, 2019 by echotango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARac40 Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Reading about it, if you tune it to your load & springs, as echo tango stated, it’s supposed to reduce recoil as opposed to a radiused firing pin stop. Idk if that’s the case or not, just curious is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) The flat "TOP" which both links show is for Bomar style sights or open guns with weight milled off the back of the slide. Makes it quicker to dress the FPS to sit even with the slide than using a full size one which you have to take more time due to more metal above the FP hole. at least from what I can see!

chevrofreak Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I put one in my CK 9major open gun and it took a fair amount of fitting, but I am not sure if I can feel a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An aggressive fps like the Cheely or Atlas starts higher on the hammer and therefore the slide moves easier from lockup. This however increases your slide speed. So it can make your gun rise more at the end of the cycle when the slide hits the frame if you do not tune it with springs/loads. The same goes for a square-ish fps such as a Harrison or EGW. The gun will typically lift while unlocking as it is harder for the slide to move the hammer. Hopefully this makes sense. Been a long day....

tdp88 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Wouldn’t slowing the slide down cause more muzzle rise along with less felt recoil?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried the Atlas to compare - it is even flatter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Obviously the Atlas hits the hammer higher than the Cheely, so the slide opens more easily. It is also harder on the hammer. I prefer the Cheely. If you want to move the impact point higher, that is easily done with a good file or vertical belt sander. I prefer a radius because you can tune it.

echotango Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) The Atlas and Cheely hit the hammer at almost the same point, the atlas is higher, but the atlas has a sharp angle and is flat on the face where the cheely has very slight roundness to it.
