Hey guys I have had my PT145pro for about a year now. Put close to 700rounds thru er and so far so good. I had a questions as I finally got to the point of taking it down past feild stripping and got the firing pin out and cleaned it up. I noticed the "firing pin captive spring assembly" (little plastic pin with a spring on it) had started to wear where the nipple at the end goes thru the retaining plate. There was some plastic shavings there and the pin nipple was no longer square but angled a bit.

Is this normal to wear and if so is this something that needs replacing at a regular basis. What has been your experience with these guys? Has it caused any issues with reliablilty?


On another note I saw alot of threads here about missfiring and thought I would chime in. I personally have never had it missfire (knock, knock) but my girlfriend has had it do the missfeed thing. The round gets pointed kind of up but doesnt feed into the chamber after the old shell is ejected. Found out that the issue stemmed from the kick was forcing the pistol back in her grip so she was bumbing the clip release. It would cause the clip to slip just a hair (1/16") and thus the new round wouldnt feed right.

I didnt see it mentioned anywhere here but saw it mentioned in a article after I started looking around for some info on it.

Thanks for the reply, I was kind of hoping they had come out with a metal version or something maybe.

Flyer if you take the mil pro apart you will see what I am talking about. I am not that great with nomenclature but the part were talking about is a little plastic rod with a spring on it. The butt end of this wears pretty quickly, I noticed when I took mine apart to clean the firing pin and area there were a bunch of little plastic flakes and dust from it wearing.
