My G19 firing pin assembly

[Ride Da Fire]

failed on me, I did what you guys told me. Cleaned and inspected the firing pin chamber and reinstalled it. I went to H&H last night to test it out, it failed to fired. First, second and third rounds went off and the forth one went click. Dimple showed on the primer, which mean the firing pin striked it but I don't think it striked it hard enough for the round the goes off.

Any of our OSA sponsors have G19 firing pin in stock? I would like to buy one from you, please shoot me a PM, thanks.

Can't remember if we discussed changing firing pin springs. That sucks, I hope you figure it out. Strange how a few rounds go off then a weak primer strike.

I don't have a solution but my early g26 did that this week. I cleaned the heck out of the fp channel and got a new fp spring and cups on the way from glockparts, I did not have time for trial and error. Those parts were about $11 shopped 1st class, don't really need cups but in case I lost one or boogered one up ymmv. Just what I am doing.

Check your ammo or better yet try some different ammo.Sounds like hard primers.Some mil spec machine gun 9mm have really hard ones.

I have an extra OEM Glock firing pin spring you can have if you want to see if that's it. Just PM me and we can meet up sometime this weekend.

I've tried Blazer, WWB and I even tried my SD ammo too. This is weird.

I already placed the orders, thanks for the offer, I really appreciate that.

I was wondering if suppressor has anything to do with it. I used to shoot special-K sub ammo and all kind of ammo through this G19.

mine did it just out of the blue. Kind of scary as it is a carry gun, first 3 golddots out of the mag..no bang, reloaded another mag, couple of light strikes with my reloads. Seemingly no rhym or reason for it. I believe the spring will fix it in my case. nothing else to fix. On glocktalk they say it is usually gunk in the firing pin channel delaying or stopping the firing pin. Once its clean it should fire, if not it is the spring. Glockparts has all those parts cheap, I figure I am out a couple bucks, and being a carry gun, how do you go wrong with new springs.

This is exactly what I was just talking about with my wife. I'm glad it happened at the range not in HD situation.

I'll strip it again and clean it. The new parts will arrive soon, I crossed my fingers and hope for the best.

this is what I ordered: Firing pin channel liner, Firing pin spacer sleeve, Spring Cups, Firing pin spring. Might as well replace everything.

Hi,

Also, make sure the slide is locking up FULLY. If the barrel hood is not all the way up, you can get a lighter and slightly off center firing pin strike. I had this once and it was a tight extractor. Replacing the extractor solved the issue.

Are you using all stock parts in the trigger system?

Thanks,

Alan

Well I replaced a stock connector with Ghost 3.5lbs connector long time ago.
