Firing Pin Repair----Need Help

[Geronimo-7]

I have a Davis Industries .380 that I borrowed from a friend. It's a very cheap gun. I dry fired it once and the firing pin snapped in half and flew across the room. Does anyone know how I can fix it/replace the part? I'm assuming parts for this gun are not readily available. Any help would be appreciated.

Contact the maufaturer but a replacement can and will do that again even if you do it with ammo.

Ok this seems better, machined steel replacement 15 dollars + S&H

Good luck in getting the part. The manufacturer has long been out of business. The Davis was one of a number of guns, mostly .22 or .25 ACP caliber, that were made cheap and sold cheap. While some actually worked well, as a group they were poorly made of cheap materials, were unreliable, and wore out quickly.

That's what I thought, Jim, but mrmeval pointed me in the right direction. I believe I found the part at Numrich online and they have them in stock. The gun is a piece of junk, but it belongs to a friend so I will fix it. Thanks for the help, mrmeval.

Hi, Geronimo-7,

You may find that fixing a Davis (or any of those guns) is not just a job, it is a career. No sooner do you fix one thing than something else goes wrong.

Jim, I plan on replacing the firing pin and giving it back to it's rightful owner. I won't be spending any more of my money on it. It's a piece of garbage. I can't believe my friend used to carry it for self defense. Have a good one.

Davis was bought out by Cobra Ent. They still have parts for the Davis firearms. [email protected]
