It seems nice. It's long AF and actually protrudes into the chamber when the hammer is down. I can't see a scenario where there'd be a round in the chamber with a hammer down so it doesn't seem to be an issue.

 

That is exactly why I won't use a Dawson, especially in a 70 series.  I prefer the Cheely.  It is not quite as long, but does the job.  The EGW is a very nice firing pin, but it is too short to use in some slides.

I might have tried the Cheely but couldn't find it in stock anywhere at the time. 

 

I might go back and test the EGW pin with a Wolff 17 or even 15 sitting to see how it performs now that I know the EGW 17 spring is really like a 13?
