For many Smith & Wesson owners, performance can be limited by a light primer strike.
A frustrating reality, this occurs when the firing pin does not make a reliable connection with the primer, resulting in unreliable ignition and failure to fire. Whether you are shooting recreationally or in competition, this can be dangerous and hamper performance - not to mention lead to damage to your firearm when the primer is struck too hard.
Fortunately, Smith & Wesson has developed a solution to this problem with its Extended Firing Pin. As the name implies, this product lengthens and reinforces your firing pin so that it can more reliably and consistently make contact with the primer. The result is an improved trigger pull and accuracy, as well as enhanced reliability for the firearm.
If you've been on the fence about investing in a firing pin that offers improved performance, read on to learn how Smith & Wesson's Extended Firing Pin can be the perfect solution for you.
Why Light Primer Strikes Occur in Smith & Wesson Revolvers
Light primer strikes occur when the firing pin does not make a reliable connection with primers. This can be due to improper timing, or simply because of the reduced performance capabilities of your factory S&W revolver metal-injected molded internal action part. Over time, the excessive dry firing of thousands of rounds can cause the firing pin top to break off.
When this occurs, the firing pin can no longer make a reliable connection with the primer, causing light primer strikes. And the last thing you want when in a competition or on duty is an unreliable revolver.
Think of the risks that can occur when your gun doesn't fire in situations that require immediate response:
- Reduced accuracy due to misfires: When your gun misfires, you lose out on accuracy and can't trust that the next shot will be true.
- Malicious intent: If you're in a defensive situation, it can mean the difference between life and death if your firearm doesn't fire reliably.
- Expensive repairs: Replacing parts like firing pins is expensive and unnecessary if you take preventative steps.
- Performance reductions caused by an unreliable firearm: Competitive shooters know that any slight edge can be the difference between success and failure. Light primer strikes can mean the difference between a victory and a loss.
Fortunately, Smith & Wesson's Extended Firing Pin from TK Custom is designed to improve reliability and accuracy when shooting your firearm.
