Maybe it's just the way you're doing them?

ive actually noticed when i was down 1 step it was easier to do and it sounded great, i dont know

Its YOU. You need to replace the pinch, most likely down the string(towards the headstock)

the pinch "sweet spot" might have moved a little due to string tension changes with lower tuning.

Yeah I'm tuned for drop-C on 9's and I can do pinch harmonics pretty easily. 8o

Chuck Norris can pinch with his left ball only. Zakk Wylde fails at life.

As zakk said if the action is too low they don't came out .

I played tuned to D standard and I never have a problem with pinch harmonics.

I've played drop C without any problem doing the pinch harmonics, it's all about technique, the guitar, the pups, the action (as said above) and it will be a little different trough different amps too..

what about me then? :|

I think he's go'in Chuck Norris style.

I assume you also tweaked your guitar setup when you changed tuning???

That might help just enough...

in my opinion, pinch harmonics are easier in drop tunings, i.e. drop D, C, and B

the action on my RG is super super low with big strings and I sometimes have problems getting them.... just like ZW says.
