P07/09 15 lb mainspring and S&B Ammo?

[briang2ad]

Anyone run a 15 lb spring with the extended firing pin and are 100 percent with S&B?  Thanks.

With the extended firing pin and 15 lb or 18 lb hammer spring will set off anything.

DOC - I believe you are right.  Just put about 100 rounds of Wolf and 50 CCi Aluminum though it with the extended FP and 15 LB spring and it all went bang.  Very nice. 

I do think the trigger spring, extended FP, and sear spring are the easy mods that really make the gun sing.  my trashy P07 is now smooth and nice.  (After polishing and a disconnector from CZ too).  Shooting does wonders.

Yep, after so many hundred or thousand rounds (I quit counting) I have a lot of faith in the CGW Extended firing pin. I am not using the 15 lb spring, but if I did, I would sure want to match it to the Cajun Extended FP.  EDIT: Correction: I am using the Gold 15# hammer spring and it has been faultless on all factory ammo that I have tried.

I run a 13lb spring in my 9mm P09 and an 11.5lb spring in my .40cal P-09 and either gun will set off any primer I run, especially S&B.  I'm sure I'm well over 10k rounds with S&B primers and have not had a problem yet.  I do however seat my primers very deep with a slight pre crush on them.

I tried an 11.5 lb spring in my 9mm P-09 and it was not 100%, more like 98%, not bad for a range toy but as my main competition gun I want 100%.

 11 1/2 pound hammer spring what's your trigger pull about 1 pound?

[Litshoot]

11.5 spring.  Trigger probably on needs a stern looking at in sa to go off

I've been running a 15# HS with the CGW extended FP for almost 2 years now - no issues with any of the good quality factory ammo I've used, although I can't speak specifically to S&B.

That raises the question--about S&B ammo. I learned the hard way to dislike Sellior & Bellot rifle ammo. It didn't shoot well no matter what rifle or caliber I tried. Although I did some successful hunting with their shotgun shells. Since seeing their results on paper with rifle ammo, I have steered away from buying S&B; although I admit I have shot some of their ammo in .380 and 9mm and it did OK. But it is close to last on the list of what I want to feed my pistols...right down there next to steel case junk that I won't buy or shoot at all.

I do applaud wanting to find out for certain if your pistol will set off the hardest of primers. We should all find out, even if we don't normally buy the stuff.

Some people are reset Nazis and I am a bit of a reliability Nazi. That is why I started to run steel cased ammo and some of my guns. I do like it?s cheap and us and I am finding that it?s quality is actually pretty good. And pistol ammo it seems to do as well or better than Blazer brass.   It also pushes the limits on hard primers. I just think the feeling I get with the 15 pound mainspring in my P07 is pretty darn awesome and so I am a bit excited about seemingly getting 100% fires on the steel cased ammo .
