0nslaught Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Hello all, My P226 upgrades came today and i opened up the package and took apart my gun right away. ok so i placed the new spring onto the recoil spring guide, so recoil spring:check. I took apart the slide, put on the piston lid and the new nozzle: check and check. now i have the PDI piston head, this realy stumped me. i didnt know where to put it! i dont even know where it goes. Can someone tell me or show me where the piston head is located? i checked the manual for the P226 and i searched 10 times and couldnt find it. so someone help me and tell me where the piston head is located please. also, the guarder 150% spring is a dissapointment. my slide wont lock back now when im out of rounds. the slide will only like maybe once out of 30 shots. is anyone else having these same problems with the guarder spring? ty in advance Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 You seem to have posted this all over the place. Don't do that. However, your 150% springs don't work well together, try a 130% main spring with the 150% hammer spring, it worked fine like that for me. Your piston head is marked in the manual, it is part no. P226-6, it is a press fitting to screw no P226-7. you pull it off, unscrew part P226,7 and then screw your new piston head into the hole left there. you have, however appeared to have bought a new piston lid too, which is the same part. IMO the PDI part is better than the (presumably) guarder pistion lid you have fitted. I'd fit the PDI part. Good luck, Stunt Link to post Share on other sites
0nslaught Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 wait a minute, so are you saying the guarder piston lid and the PDI piston head are the same thing? oh and btw i didnt install the hammer spring. just the recoil spring. but ill try and get the 130% spring and install the 150% hammer. ty for that.

Sao Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Yes the PDI head and Gurder piston lid are the same part, the guarder is the same design as the Stock one and the PDI is a more funked up verison with an o-ring. I have both for mine as I did the same thing as you and bought more than one piston head. I've got the PDI winter head in mine at the moment and it does work very well.
