Hiya cj*
As fragile as the bushing sets look when they're in your hands, I imagine them being stronger when wrapped around the striker rod and enclosed in the striker spring. <shrug>
With the gun empty, when you cycle the slide an' pull the trigger, does it feel OK? I mean, does the trigger feel a bit smoother on the take up, do ya feel the steel striker spring against the steel striker rod anymore?
If it feels OK, then it probably is.
When ya take it to the range and go hot, that'd be the true test. If it cycles and fires OK, that'd be the answer to the question, I suppose.
Please keep us in the loop, Bro.
Meantime, I'll try an' get BT's response to this incident. He may suggest that you get another set. <shrug>
Or maybe one of our brother Steyrclubers has had a similar incident and will post their experienced insights.
Take care, Bro.
Wulf <-- curious but not alarmed
