Ranger Dan Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 they are a couple thousands of an inch longer than standard. work great specially if you have a lighter hammer spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 pretty much all I use in my guns and the few that I have setup for others don't want to say how long between breaking one (afraid of jinxing myself) but last one I bought for me was in 2015 for several years was running about 17-20 thousand rounds a year YMMV Regards Gateway Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 OUTLAW First a CAVEAT: I have no actual experience with the Slixpin. I do have a ton of experience with several others. I have used MANY replacement pins from Cowboys and Indian (Jam Bowie) and from Pioneer Gunworks (Joe Alvies). All of which are a touch longer than the OEM firing pin and made from much sterner stuff. I do have extensive experience with a whole host of Slix stuff and found it to be well engineered, well made and works like a charm. I would have no hesitation using a Slixpin if I needed one. Forgot: ALL of the after-market suppliers of Firing Pins for toggle link rifles include a really nice reduced power return spring. Very handy for a tuned rifle.
