Topic: Interesting Firing Pin Aperture on Aftermarket slide

[Adam Ceron]

I wanted to share an interesting firing pin aperture that I have not seen before. This firing aperture is from a Strike Industries slide, and usually the teardrop shape tends to be smaller, but this firing pin aperture appears to have a bigger teardrop shape (avocado shape) than others, and it contains an elliptical firing pin where normally it would be a circular firing pin.

That is very interesting. Thanks for taking the time to share, Adam.

Trying to pen a new firing pin aperture shape I see. I like it.

I will support a motion for "Avocado" so its not confused with "Teardrop"

I agree with Jill about now jonesing for Guac & Chips


I'm heading to ShotShow in two weeks with a colleague- we will go by the Strike Industries booth and see what else we can learn about the avocado shape Thanks for sharing, Adam!

For a more international description, how about "pear shaped" instead?

Looks like this argument has hit the pit...
Avocado for the win!

Avocado is international, right?
