don't do this with your P10C
« on: March 26, 2018, 12:11:38 PM »
I recently ordered the CGW striker. Nothing was wrong with the factory one, I just did it for the upgrade and to have a spare. So I take the slide off, got the endplate slid off and replaced the striker no problem. Now I'm excited to see if maybe there is a slight improvement on the factory trigger. Not that it wasn't already good. So I put the slide on and rack it. Wow, that was different. Something isn't right. In my excitement I didn't install the barrel and recoil spring before putting the slide back on. Now I had to fool around for a while to get the slide back off. I'm still not sure what I did to get it back off but it was a pain to do. I won't do that twice.

That's funny because I did the exact same thing when I replaced my striker with the CGW one.

We all have probably done it at one time or another.  Fun ain't it, LOL

Can't say that I ever have but be assured I never will now that you mentioned it.

How did you forget to replace the barrel and recoil spring?  Shouldn't you have noticed the lack of spring tension?

I honestly can say that is one I have never done, out of a long list of oopsies in life. Important safety tip - don't cross the streams/forget the barrel and recoil spring.

A friend reassembled my G16 for me without the rod+spring as a joke. Wouldn't rack, so I did a tap-rack with some force.
Not a cool prank to play.
