Took out the new pins, put the factory's back in. Boom problem solved. 4 hrs wasted time
if you never done it before, did you think you'd be an expert the first time?
i have yet to fully disassemble a 1911, but when i do, i will be watching many you tube videos for experts, not a bunch of mooks.
would i expect perfection after my first try..??
most likely....nope......
like anything else, practice, practice, practice.......and you'll get to Carnegie Hall.

what i'd suggest is, replace 1 pin at a time, and test rack and test fire it, using a snap cap, do not dry fire.
if that 1 pin works, THEN try 1 more, and retest.
so on and so forth for the remaining pins.
if the first pin you replace DOES not work? remove that one, and try the next....
it's going to be a process of elimination.
also, you have to understand, that not all after market parts will work in all guns.
maybe 1 maker's parts are a wee bit off in specs, and another company's parts are spot on.
very often it is mentioned in many directions...."fitting may be necessary"
meaning, some filing, reaming, sanding, honing, etc.
that's why i spent a few dollars on some "fitting tools"
