s&w performance Plus firing pin safety

[jeryray]

So my 3 month old performance center plus compact ported barrel works fine.
When cleaning I always check the firing pin safety for proper operation.
Purchased a Plus optic ready non ported slide. Used a new non ported barrel. Seems to shoot fine.
However when I check the firing pin safety, it is not normal.
On the table when pushing the striker it goes toward WITHOUT pushing the release. to get it to function properly I have to pus the striker towards the rear for it to lock.
So I put the slide on racked a few times, removed the slide and the striker was in safety mode.


Anyone else see this?


Don't know if this is normal or not, strange it works after having the slide on.


Certainly don't want to carry loaded if the safety is not correct.


TIA

OK, I just fiddled with my well used original 1.0 slide. If the plunger isn't depressed, the striker won't move, the plunger engages the striker. If that's the way yours now works, every things OK. May have been something sticking. If not, return to sender.
