[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 1012500, member: 12"] Wrong answer for sure! I hope you are not just learning that a gun without a firing pin block can and will allow the firing pin to go forward and hit the primer with a jar or hard knock on the butt. A weak firing pin spring allows the pin to forward easier and not harder as you imply! I have seen 2-3 rifles do it plus I had a 1911 go off in a military flap holster cocked and locked with safety on. End of the holster looked just like in a cartoon. Not a good day but fortunately the slug and jacket separated when the slug hit the downshift lever and the jacket went into my lower leg about 1 1/2 inches. Turns out about 1/2 our pistols just issued out of depots had weak springs. The rest of the team thought it was funny until they found our most of theirs would do the same thing. Suggest you switch to fishing tackle sales! [/QUOTE]
