·Ok, I bought the Wolff extra recoil spring pack that comes with the firing pin springs. I followed Yzguy's instructions on replacing the firing pin spring (not too hard). I noticed however that the firing pin that Yz shows is different than mine. His shows what appears to be a "half circle" at the end where the hammer strikes. Mine is rounded off where the allen screw engages the pin (to hold it in) and then the rest is flat. If you look into the rear of the slide it looks like a half circle staring back at you. My question is this. According to the instructions when I re-inserted the firing pin into the channel, I did it with the flat end up. As I tightend the allen screw it turned the firing pin slightly. Now it appears, as it did before that the half circle is to one side. I guess this is because as you tighten the allen screw it will turn the firing pin slightly. Is this normal. As best I can remember the "half circle" end of the firing pin was "off center" before. I put a A-Zoom snap cap into it and it appears that everything is functioning well.
I also noticed that the old spring apart from being dirty had developed a curve in the end? Could this have contributed to the firing pin dragging across the primers.
Thoughts?
