Greetings
I was looking at a video on youtube, particularly this one:
And he mentions that his slide to be an "E2 style upper", now I wanted to confirm if this is proper nomenclature for slides that have the long extractor, thus having an extractor roll pin up top and the firing pin retention roll pin not be the whole width of the slide.
This video also mentions that the long extractor is called an e2 extractor, is this proper nomenclature as well?
In addition, does that mean that the time the classic P series shipped with the "E2 style" mainspring and mainspring seat/housing was the time when the "E2 style" slide was produced? Meaning the way to tell if the pistol has an e2 style mainspring seat was to see if it had a long extractor, and if it didn't, does that mean it came with the long plastic mainspring housing/base?
Also wanted to ask around which time did they start using long extractors? And when did they start shipping the pistols with the e2 style mainspring housing/seat?
Apart from this, does anyone know when did they also make the switch from solid retention pins to spiral/coil roll pins for the firing pin and extractor?
Any input would be much appreciated, thanks!
