Hey people, hi!
I have some issues with my Ultra Carry II. It’s about 10 or 11 years old, external extractor.
The firing pin is stuck. I’ve removed the end plate and the extractor spring and everything but the firing pin won’t come out. I can press it forward with a center punch and it will sometimes stick forward. I can’t even remove it to inspect it or the channel for problems and it feels like it’s hanging up rather than a spring.
Hey man, merry Christmas! It has been a while, how are you?
Ok, so it’s got the pin that sticks out in the grip frame that interfaces with the button on the underside of the slide. I guess the firing pin block? But that button is pressed in already and that should release the firing pin when the end plate is removed. That’s not happening right now.
Excellent, thank you! If it gets to that point, I may have to take it to a gunsmith though. My vise isn’t in shape to handle sight removal. I’ve actually considered the sight may be a problem. I had someone install the new sights and I then put the mainspring housing in at the same time. I don’t know if something didn’t happen at the time the sights were installed. The guy, while a “gunsmith”, was a friend of a friend and did it on the cheap but was the sort of gunsmith who is working out of a rented space that was barely a storage unit in a shop. Not a gun shop. Just a shop. So I look back on it and think maybe I should have gone with someone more reputable given this is my carry gun.
