Technical Tuesday: Firing Pin

[@bhoover14]

Love the thought and care that SS has put into its products. Truly a customer-oriented company. 👍💯

[@usmcruiser]

I'm honestly a big fan of hearing the shop noises in the background. It makes the video feel more real, or like your not just the face of the company.

[@morr1oz]

I have assembled them 1 million times but never checked for that - great info.

[@afr5075]

Good video and important about the spring line up... thats also why i don't like taking it apart, i always drop one of the cups

[@mdx9286]

My go-to for striker fired.

[@MUMZZ400]

Love this company and their awesome products!! Videos like these are a large part of why, love learning on technical Tuesday. Thank you 🗽✌🏻

[@tomkaforey1076]

I love Technical Tuesdays!

[@jamesdelong6401]

Thanks for this video Traver. This is the problem I was having with my MR920L shadow systems pistol. I was getting 3 lite strikes on every 15 round magazine. But! I think it was my own fault. I mess up, when cleaning my pistol after the 1st 200 rounds and before my 1st time out of the box. I lube down into the firing pin shaft where it sits down into the slide. I think that end up building up WAY to much derby and I actually found three small pieces of brass in the slide where the firing pin sits in the slide.

[@billtaylor1656]

Great video. I hope to get my Cr920 back. I had to send it back for an issue.

[@joshuakarlsen1377]

Great and informative video. Can you please do a video like this one on how to reverse the magazine release on an MR920 for a left-handed shooter Trevor?

[@rifleshooterchannel208]

I wish you guys would start offering machined extractors again too.

[@rickdwyer6167]

Just got the mr920 elite and the only thing I wish I came with was more decals so I could put them on my trucks lol. Really great firearms

[@r1ght1left1]

Important to note that Shadow Systems own pistol pins are round shaped and will not work in other brands which are rectangular.

[@drdeadlypsycho4960]

Firing pin return spring. Woahhh 🤯

[@zmandan1685]

Love these videos

[@joeross952]

Great video. I’m missing the CR920 for my collection. Glad Shadow is doing great but they are harder to buy.

[@janvodros8238]

Perfect video, thanks. Nice argumentation.

[@Bushy_P]

I have a DR920 and and MR920. Both came with grey firing pins. My DR920 spring had some wear down the sides of the lug and eventually broke at the lug while dry firing. It was replaced by the green striker assembly and after 5 months is still showing no wear. My MR920 has a grey striker assembly and is also showing wear in the same position of the lug. Should be interesting to see how long it will last.

[@billdrill22]

Thank you for this video. Tons of helpful information

[@HitManJavi02]

Imma Texas Native and I love shadows systems, got my xr920 and mr920 stolen and had to buy both again no questions asked. Love my Cr920 but I want the cr920p

[@npetersen76]

my early model mr920s firing pin snapped in half in dryfire. real shame because i do love shooting these guns. i'm sure the kinks have been worked out, but that is not the case for my gun. and i'm not having the easiest time getting my issues addressed. good guns now. just wish i hadn't supported the company so fast before they worked their kinks out.

[@elfetifilm]

After around 1k rounds my mr920 still have a lot of issue with S&B primers. 🤷🏼🤷🏼 tested the same amo with g19 and works fine…

[@GroinsItchin]

Maybe I missed this, but I'm curious on your new pins, the nose is so much shorter than oem Glock, meaning the amount of pin after the cups is so much shorter than your earlier pins and the Glock OEM pins, is there a reason for this design? Love what you guys are doing and love the nickel Teflon addition, I've tried nickel boron dlc titanium nitride, nickel tef, has always been the best imo.

[@zimcarbone]

Can you add a return spring to the first gen firing pin?

[@GG_BEATS]

All 3 of my shadow guns firing pins have excessive wear behind the pin not on the pin itself. My glock firing pin has 0 wear and it has the same amount of rounds. Im wondering what my pins are rubbing against, because ive never taken them out ever.

[@timgriego9748]

Hello, I have an MR920 combat all black. Just watched this video its a very good one and taught me 1 thing and that about the spring not set with the slots. .Never heard of this. very cool I know now. Just removed the firing pin from the gun and mine does not have that gray dot at all. Should I worry about this? or no worries? let me know please? Thank you in advance Tim

[@mghegotagun]

Firing pin return spring... Can that be used in a gen3 P80 build? I assume it lowers trigger pull weight.

[@Melarorah2170]

Are there any plans to make your SS metal magazines for the MR/XR/DR pistols?

[@adamjensen8112]

These videos are great and part of the reason I chose Shadow Systems. Prioritize them! Don't kick Trevor out of rooms >:|

[@neverpanic]

I'm having a delayed primer strike from my MR920. I'll squeeze trigger only to experience the delayed strike. Thoughts ???

[@joes464]

I am extremely disappointed in the lack of customer service with Shadow Systems. Over the past couple years I have purchased 7 Shadow Systems pistols, DR,MR, CR,XR most of them War Poet models. Two of the seven have failure to feed properly issue from the barrels not having enough clearance. I have emailed and called Shadow System several times. I've only gotten to talk to someone once and I have had to leave messages the rest of the times. I have not gotten one phone call back. I sent a video of the issue showing the problem and verified the issue by swapping barrels with my other SS pistols. Here we are a month or so later and nothing but silence! I don't like to leave bad reviews but if I don't get any response from SS what am I to do???

[@ShadowSystemsCorp]

Hi Joe, my team sent you an email asking for a copy of your ID so they could create a return shipping label for you on February 23rd and didn’t get a response. If you could please send a copy of your id back to that email address, [e-mail], they can get that taken care of for you! If you’d like to speak with someone on the phone first, please email us with your call back number-email is much easier for my team to track than voicemails as it creates an automatic ticket and we can ensure we have all info.

[@jaydanjohnston5381]

i have an mr918, ive heard about the firing pin breaking. i bought it brand new years ago and have only just the last 2 weeks put about 200 rounds through it. should i be worried about having the older gen mr918?

[@DonnelWilson-sf8hn]

Should you replace the firing pin on a used firearm??? Jus checking because I'm thinking about doing so.

[@readinessforge]

When can we get stand alone parts and frames?

[@GEEKinLyfe]

Are you gonna come out with a Tigger to compete with the timney or glock performance Tigger? I'd love to get one for my ss pistols 😁

[@richardw2801]

Will the new holosun 507 competition work in the shadow systems optics mount?

[@JoeZanin]

How often should I replace the firing pin in my MR920

[@Cuba537]

How long until a CR920 X 15 rounds like the new PSA Dagger micro ?

[@harleyd2900]

Is there any issue dry fire drilling with my 920? Will this greatly reduce the life of the firing pin spring?

[@morr1oz]

don't forget the safety glasses -

[@aaronyojimbo1753]

Are they interchangeable? If l have a MR918, is it not reliable?

[@lovemyxs]

Thank you

[@russdennis7026]

Are you going to offer some Maritime Spring cups?

[@Mikehunt-90]

As a shadow systems mr920 owner. My favorite gun by far by the way. Can we just thank the fucking CEO of the company for making videos to help out other owners of the SS pistol. No other company (gun company) does this. Plus don't you guys still have the policy that if you use it in a self defense shooting and it's a real self defense situation you will replace it free of charge? Is that still a thing and does that apply to civilians too?? Thank you guys yall rock.

[@afr5075]

Comment completly unrelated... waiting on the CR920 with the comp... and make a 10mm

[@morr1oz]

That table looks hairy

[@tbenson5966]

I love these guns!!!
