Quite the 'artisan' that uses improperly made vendor parts in his products.
What can be easier to detect than improperly hardened parts? Certainly these makers own a file.
But then Krieghoff can't harden a firing pin either so there's that...
They blame the primers. Erosion is blamed on pierced soft primers, tip deformation is blamed on primers that are too hard.
What does Beretta blame it on? They don't have to because they can make firing pins.
While it is true that anything can break, walking into known problems requires access to the dwindling trade that can fix this stuff or the ability to do the work yourself.
Lacking that, best practice is avoidance.
People STILL buy Toyota Tundras and GM 6.2's... even with the well documented and very common failures.
'"It's been fixed!". Uh... no, it hasn't and will never be.
Caveat Emptor.
