Learned a simple test on how to check on impact of the firing pin against shell without firing a single shot. I had a 45ACP that I took out for testing the pistol failed to fire, I examined the primer and not a single mark on the primer. While discussing this with the gun shop the owner showed me a quick and easy way to see if it hits and a good idea how hard it hits. Take a No. 2 pencil with a new rubber erasure, drop the pencil down barrel until it rest against the face of bolt and pull trigger. If it hits you will be surprised how high it will jump, and if it don't move , well you get the idea. Might be an old trick but its new to me so thought I'd share.
