The original pins are cast iron, and brittle. Got my steel replacement here:

J&G also sells ‘em, a bit cheaper I think.

[I cannot think of a name]

Thanks for the tip.

I don’t really know what had been done to the firing pin before I bought the pistol, but I know the second firing pin (the one I installed) was not dry fired - and also broke in less than 100 rounds.

I had a suspicion is was probably something to do with the metal used.

[Still Thinking]

No way. They used CAST IRON for a firing pin? [facepalm]
