1911 Firing Pin FAQ
Why would a gunsmith need an "oversize" firing pin?
An oversize firing pin is used when the firing pin hole in the slide has become worn, damaged, or intentionally enlarged. A gunsmith will ream the hole to a uniform .092" and then custom-fit this oversize pin. This creates a perfect, tight fit that prevents primer material from flowing back into the channel, which is a common cause of malfunctions in high-round-count or high-pressure pistols.
Gunsmith Installation Required For the safety and proper function of your firearm, this firing pin MUST be installed by a professional gunsmith.
