I just discovered that my Father's LMT lower was missing the J spring altogether. He kept telling me that he was having an issue with the pin walking out. Pulled the FCG out and sure enough, no J spring.

LOL! He's got a new hammer coming from LMT. He lives out of state and told me about it one day while we were talking. He was getting doubles because the pin was walking out and he didn't notice it right away.
ETA: I should have gone the WECSOG route and stuck a paper clip in there! OR, just told him to get the KNS pins. ;)
It is interesting that the demo gun kept running with a broken pin.
Re: The need for KNS pins
They have their place. I use them in my SBR lowers because I know they will see action from 9mm and 22lr uppers which are known for breaking pins.
