Firing pins

[barretcreek]

Was doing a search on Ti firing pins and read lots of negatives about Ti 1911 pins.

Are there lightweight AR firing pins which are not Ti?

[lyman]

never bothered,, the standard pins have not let me down except for once, when a primer burst and messed the tip up,

[barretcreek]

I was thinking slamfires.

[lyman]

I have shot literally 1000's of rounds of reloads in a Service rifle, and many more thru guns being functioned checked or my personal M16, as well as the double handful of AR's that I own, and have never had a slam fire, using factory ammo, (and USGI M193) and reloads, using mostly Winchester primers,

Slam fire are mostly attributed to high primers and especially for semi-autos like the Garand with a floating fire pin.
