What is it about the PX4 geometry that makes it so much more reliable with lighter weight hammer springs?
I've been reflecting on 92 hammer options recently. I haven't seen any material difference between the Elite II and Wilson hammers in the 92 when it comes to igniting primers. If the E2 won't light it, the Wilson won't either. Weight clearly isn't everything when it comes to hammer impact.
"When the phone rang, Parker was in the garage, killing a man."
Weight and speed are a factor. The geometry of the PX4 hammer strut is different, giving it more energy with a lighter hammer spring. The firing pin the PX4 is also slightly different.
Lots of moving parts for sure. I am running an 11lb hammer spring in my current full-size PX4, with the lightest hammer (the standard PX4 hammer) and it runs everything. My 92 with a 12lb hammer spring and an Elite Hammer gives me occasional light strikes with certain ammo.
That said, the trigger in the 92 with the 12lb hammer spring is simply amazing!

He’s made 3 holsters for me - OWB for LTT Elite, OWB for 9w Compact, and IWB for the Compact. All excellent quality, and reasonably priced.
