Firing pin.
« on: June 18, 2012, 03:59:01 AM »
Took my gun apart for cleaning, and found a bent firing pin. :(  I called Kel tec, and their sending me a new one right away. What a company. :) Anyone know if hard primers could have caused this ?

It's likely it was assembled that way. I'm assuming it was still functioning when you found out it was bent. A firing pin would have to be made of something softer than any I've seen to be bent by striking primers. One that soft would be useless after one shot.
