Interesting Firing Pin Aperture on Aftermarket slide
« on: January 06, 2025, 07:25:21 PM »
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.

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