So I've read online and seen a couple of videos of the "pencil test" as a way to test the firing pin without firing rounds. However, from what I see/read, whenever people do this test and it is successful, the pencil flies several feet out of the gun. I tried this in my P2000 and found that the pencil only jumped about an inch or so, not even coming all the way out of the barrel. Is this indicative of a faulty/weak firing pin? I have fired this gun before and it is a new gun. Been to the range three times with a total of about 400 rounds through. There have thus far only been two failures but they were jamming issues, not misfires. Am I looking at any problems down the road? Or should I just go to sleep and stop being a hypochondriac on behalf of my baby.
1911 and LC9 cause pencil to jump out of the barrel and i got no movement out of the SR9c. I don't know what that means, however the SR9c works so I say don't worry
It means that the hammer or striker hits the firing pin lighter than others. My beretta 92G with its 12 pound trigger pull and relatively heavy hammer shoots a pencil across the room at warp speed. I have no doubts this pistol will ever suffer from light primer strikes.
Because then it wouldn't stick into the wall.
Why have man-toys, if you don't use them to get your wife mad at you? :anim_lol:
