Well, ran into a bit of a problem with the EVO320 - I believe the striker safety lock broke while dryfiring this afternoon:
Part #6 in this diagram
I was doing a little standard dryfire practice over lunch, had done about a dozen trigger pulls, when I went to rack the slide and the gun wouldn’t go fully back into battery. Took the slide off and took a bit ofinspecting and comparing to see what was wrong but it appears that the safety lock is no longer present on the EVO320 slide. Here’s a comparison between RS320A and the EVO320:
RS320A, safety lock clearly visible and functional. Round count is ~5,200 rounds
EVO320, no safety lock. Round count of ~2,500 rounds
I’ll have to actually remove the striker assembly later tonight when I have time to fully inspect it and see what’s happened. For the life of me though if it broke off I can’t find the little piece of metal either in the frame of the gun or on the ground where I was dryfiring, it seems to have just vanished…
