*Broke a firing pin today* (a first). After buying a very cool, first Spanish Star BM 9 last week, I dry-fired it about 8-10 times...then noticed the many reminders not to ever Dry fire. About 150 rds. were consumed after that. A few "Partial" FTExtract per hundred rds. were no big deal (new extractor ordered). Novices: Don't be confused-worn extractor or ext. spring have nothing to do with the firing pin.
Today at the range, after about nine-ten rds. no more.
The front tip of the pin was no longer visible, whether static or while pushing the 'button' shape on the rear of the firing pin. A new one was ordered from "Jack's First" in SD.
Just advice, to help You avoid complacency. Even if I hadn't dry-fired a few times on the first day, I suspect that the front of the pin had already been weakened years ago in Spain, before importing recently via Century.
Switched at the club today to the superbly-reliable, and more rugged M&P .22 and Romanian AK (SAR-1).
