yeah... pretty much.

I'll stick to not slamming a round into the chamber while looking down the barrel.
Seems like a very light spring to hold the firing pin back would work better.

a light spring is just one more thing trying to fix a problem that isn't there.
The AR gas impingement system is a perfect system from an engineering aspect. When implemented correctly (i.e. quality parts, lubed properly, cleaned regularly, etc) it will perform well. adding a spring here or there to prevent this or that, only complicates things and introduces changes to the implementation of said system.
My point here is not to flame or talk down in any way. It is simply to state that the "default" components of a quality, standard AR gas impingement system, is all one needs.
Too many mfrs are struggling to survive would rather invent some needless feature or so called "enhancement" to the AR platform in support of a problem that simply doesn't exist instead of just making better quality parts and finding ways to make them at a lower cost to stay competitive.
They know that they can make something that sounds tacticool and that there are 100 million suckers out there that will not do the research and simply buy it because the manufacturer says it "fixes" this or that problem or "enhances" this or that feature/function.
Oh, no offense taken. My pistol is striker fired. The striker sits "at rest" in a spot that doesn't touch the primer. I assume the spring it is attached too is just keeping it there. I'm no engineer so I really don't have a clue how it works, let alone how something can be rigged up for an AR platform. Like I said, I will just not look down the barrel while racking a round.
Could someone enlighten me and tell me what a slam fire is
Thanks

AR firing pins are not stainless, they are chrome-plated carbon steel.
