A good test of the firing pin after replacement, beside blasting rounds down range, is to take the checked, unloaded and checked again gun and placing a pencil in the barrel eraser down.  Fire the gun toward the ceiling and you should see that pencil leave the barrel for a good distance.  If you have low, white ceilings you may wish to do this test outdoors...;-)

That's not good. From looking at the pictures you posted your p-10 need be cleaned. The Striker should not be oily, as oil will attract dirt.  On a P-10 you only need to oil the end of the barrel and the tabs that the slide ride on.

Got the new firing pin installed, and ready to test. So far the pencil test shows that it works, but live test fire will be this weekend most likely.

I always fire at least a case b4 carrying it.

Glock had the same problems with the MIM metal used.

Its hit or miss. Some get the broken pin and others never do. Even after thousnds of rounds. I bought the CGW pin and keep it in my range bag as a back up.
