Even if it worked, couldn’t a criminal just buy a generic firing pin online and swap it with the stamped one?

For most every measure, there will be a countermeasure*. I wonder if a quick pass with a metal file would also work, just enough to mess with stamp. If that does work, you can bet everyone in the hood will know about it in a day.

* There’s one measure that has no countermeasure: Long prison sentences for repeat offenders. I guess our Democrat friends haven’t thought about that yet.

Of course, but they would never do that. Replacing the CD firing pin would be illegal!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

or even just a couple of swipes with an emery board or rock ...

oh, i know, make it ILLEGAL to tamper with a firing pin ... they can add the tampering charge to the robbery, home invasion, carjacking, or murder charge committed with a tampered firing pin to discourage such tampering ... assuming they catch and prosecute the miscreant in the first place ...

Two swipes with a file on the firing pin makes it inert. The morons who write these laws, and most owners know nothing about how a weapon works. Everything is a fully automatic Glock assault rifle.
