View Full Version : Out of spec slide
Iron bottom
11th March 2008, 22:15
I am in possession of an Officers slide. The firing pin is sitting about 0.020 high at the rear. I've fitted a firing pin stop and the firing pin will not pop back out. When the top of the firing pin stop was relieved to allow proper operation, there is a gap between the bottom of the firing pin stop and the slide. Anyone know of a source for taller firing pin stops?

Hi
I suspect that if you give EGW a call they will whip one up for you.

What about just elongating the hole in the stop by the .020 dimension? As long as you don't make it any wider, the two sides should still provide plenty of retention.

If EGW can't provide one, I suppose you could start with another FPS and elongate the top of the FP hole. Wouldn't look too good, but it should work OK - I think.
But, I'd be surprised if EGW couldn't provide one.
