The only firing pin that was replaced in my world happened on a Beretta Silver Snipe, circa 1970. The ‘Snipes had a reputation for firing pins breaking, and the lower barrel firing pin did just that on my Dads. We went to Ahlman’s where it was fixed in about 15 minutes while we watched. The gun was 6 years old at that point in time. The hot tip was to buy two, and save the factory version as a spare. After that we drove to Owatonna and did some pheasant hunting on public dirt.
I still have the spare. Still have the gun, too.
Best,
Ted
