I detail stripped my G23 today and now it fails the function test. I pull the trigger and hold it back while I cycle the action, then as I start to release the trigger the firing pin strikes or fires. This could be very dangerous. I've detailed stripped this gun plenty of times but I never had this problem. I've stripped it again but can not find a problem. What did I do wrong? ETA: Problem fixed. Somehow when I put the firing pin safety (FPS) back in the Slide the FPS spring fell out of the FPS and was wedged in sideways under the FPS. Everything seemed normal until I did a function test. Always do a function check after cleaning your guns. This could have been dangerous if it was loaded.....AD. Just thought I would pass it along. This ever happen to anyone else? Thanks BulletTime |

FYI: When you install the "Firing Pin Spring" into the "Firing Pin Safety Plunger" push and turn the spring counter-clockwise and it will seat itself inside the "Safety Plunger". This will properly install the spring and hold the spring inside the plunger.  Edit: to add pic |
Thanks for the great tip. BulletTime |
