I have a taurus pt1911 and I have changed out the extractor to a Wilson. Now the firing pin retainer and spring fell out while shooting. Guy at the range said I don't need it. I am curious if anyone has some insight? Thanks in advance.
Don't know, I have never seen nor heard of a firing pin plate/retainer or firing pin spring falling out of a 1911 or 1911 clone. I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing, because as Mr. Spock would say, " it doesn't compute".
It's shaped like a dumb bell and the firing pin rides in the channel and It sits on the tiny spring. Taurus calls it a firing pin block and a firing pin key block spring.
I since have seen via google that this is common after changing the extractor. Person says it makes it go from a 80 series to a 70 series.

Thanks Shooter - Now I need to know if i have to install the trigger lever bar with the spacer or if the spacer replaces that and the firing pin block lever. I ordered the spacer from brownells.
