Good video. Can you explain how the firing pin disconnect (the rectangular piece that is within the firing pin) functions?

[@5280Armory]

still waiting for my hk rep to give a tutorial on this. since you cannot see it when it installed it is a curiosity to all of us at the moment. thanks for watching. ak

[@bobdegutis302]

@@5280Armorydoes it interact with anything in the chassis under the slide? The only thing I can think of is that it holds the firing pin in alignment in addition to the lug at the rear of the firing pin.

[@5280Armory]

it does not interact with anything from the chassis, at least not directly. the other curiosity is that the slot for the firing pin disconnect is slightly elongated allowing an obviously inteded small amount of front to rear travel.

[@bobdegutis302]

@ does the firing pin spring press against the rear of the rectangular disconnect? Maybe it acts to decelerate the firing pin when it hits the backside of the breech (especially if dry firing).

[@5280Armory]

i took it apart one more time just to be double sure but the firing pin return spring stops just short of making contact with the firing pin disconnect.

[@stephenhinkle3277]

Everyone who purchases this firearm needs to check and see if the chassis pin is installed before firing the gun. I purchased mine from Bass Pro, and when I gave it a full cleaning before going to the range,I noticed my chassis pin (the one that secures the chassis to the frame)was not installed.

[@5280Armory]

do you believe this was a factory error or do you believe it was disassembled at the store?

[@stephenhinkle3277]

I'm not sure, but I bought the display gun, and it could have been the only one they got from HK. I asked how many they had sold and they said they were not allowed to say. I suspect because it was a "new" firearm, someone at the retailer just had to see what the internals looked like. No proof, just my opinion.

[@5280Armory]

if i had to guess i would believe that before i thought hk sent it out missing such important parts.

[@stephenhinkle3277]

@@5280Armory I agree, I don't see HK sending out firearms missing parts.

If you spend enough time on Glock forums you'll understand why not having to pull the trigger for field stripping is a bonus. #SwissCheeseHands

[@5280Armory]

At the high risk of presuming that we are talking about the same issue of “to pull” or “not to pull” the trigger before disassembly? This is my thought on that matter. With over 25 years behind the counter showing and working with folks on a potential Glock purchase, I prefer the face to face feedback that I have received in the store and on range. As it pertains to Glock, I found that people either like the trigger or they don't. Whether they thought it was too heavy, gritty etc.. or not, it was ultimately up to them (full disclosure, I am neither a Glock fan boy or hater). So for me that leaves the topic of person NOT properly removing the mag and checking the chamber before disassembling. Proper training from a qualified instructor will easily circumvent a negligent discharge. On the topic of a Glock malfunction resulting in the firing of a round without ANY human interaction whatsoever, I am certainly NOT saying that it has never happened, I am just saying that I have never personally witnessed it. If I missed the mark on what your statement was pertaining too? Please be more clear with our viewers on what your issue is. Thanks for watching. ak

@ I'm just saying the HK design is superior from a safety standpoint because you don't need to touch the trigger at all to remove the slide.

[@5280Armory]

Not having to touch the trigger for disassembly from a manufacturers point of view is in my opinion going to be the way forward for many companies. Likely going to be less liability for them. They cannot force folks read a manual or get proper training before handling. ak

@@5280ArmoryProbably so, but If a person is dumb enough to not know better, they shouldn't own a firearm. Then put the blame on companies because they don't know which end of the fork to use when they put an eye out!
