Difference in length between standard and extended firing pin?
« on: January 03, 2023, 11:28:47 AM »
What is the length difference between the factory firing pin and the CGW extended firing pin?

I never experienced a light strike with either the factory or CGW extended firing pins in my P-07 with the vast majority of ammo, using CGW's 15 lb hammer spring.

I can get light strikes shooting Wolf ammo with the extended firing pin and 15 lb hammer spring, but not with any other ammo, and certainly not with any of my carry ammo.

Not only the length, but also the cut-outs.

The pin is machined differently because it is also designed to be used with the short reset kit.
