I've used Firefly parts in the past and they've all been top notch. That part in that link is the proper part. "Rocket Valve", "Power Bulb", "Reed Valve", "Plunger Valve" are all the same part with different names. I'm sure there's other names for it.
Shooter's Design... they're off and on. They make a lot of really unique and nice looking parts, but some of their items seems to come off the manufacturing line with no QC or testing before production even begins. This cylinder set is one example.
Another one is the DOM magwell for the hi capa... you put it on and you can't even insert a mag! I had to rework the entire interior of it just to get a mag to fit properly.
The problems with this cylinder set happened right away. Part of it me doesn't totally blame the set though. I was dry firing a gun I'm building and the slide/frame had not yet been totally fitted. I think the added resistance put extra pressure on to the valve/nozzle. I'll see what happens after I properly fit everything and reduce all resistance.
My other hi-capas are using the RCC metal valve that they call a "power bulb" and I've yet to have one problem with that.
