Firing Pin Safety Spring

[Precision40]

Where can I find a reduced power firing pin safety spring? I did a trigger job on my 35 that's about 3.25# right now which is great, but the FP safety spring is extremely stiff and I'm thinking I could get it down an extra 1/4# IF I could find that spring.

Do folks cut down the factory spring or buy a reduced power?

I've used/done both. Both work fine.

I usually get the RP safety spring with the comp spring package from pistolgear.com

Wolff Gunsprings sells a reduced power firing pin safety spring. If you're going to do this, make sure and keep that plunger and recess clean as it gets really dirty in high volume firing and the spring may start having too much crud to move the plunger through to keep the safety working.

See this link for the part. Wolff calls them (incorrectly) "striker block safety springs".

Thanks for the links, I'll check them out

I reshape a ball point pen spring. It's nice and soft and works fine.

That sounds like something my Iraqi Police guys would do!

The best ones for this are the old pre-upgrade FPS springs if you can find them somewhere. They work great for the purpose.
