I installed the C+S extended pins in my four comp SW guns and I did not see any improvement in the minimum mainspring force I needed to get suitable ignition force. The C+S pins are also poorly made and every one had to be fitted (they are too long when new, and two of them had casting flash that bound up in the channel). I am underwhelmed in general with the extended firing pins, but I think the Wolff ribbed mainsprings are first rate. They give a reduction of about one pound in DA pull compared to a "dialed back" stock mainspring (shortened strain screw) when both are set up for the same striking force.

For the record, the C+S "extended" pin only goes out as far as all the old smith firing pins which are mounted on the hammers. So it is not accurate to say the C+S pins are "extended", it would be more accurate to say the frame-mounted stock SW pins are UNDERSIZED.
