Why Firing Pin Diameter Matters
A properly sized firing pin helps limit unnecessary clearance around the firing pin tip while still allowing the pin to move freely. Excessive clearance can provide space for primer material to flow under pressure.
Flowed primer material may shear as the pistol cycles and enter the firing pin channel. Correct firing pin selection and professional fitting help reduce the possibility of restricted movement and inconsistent ignition.
