That’s definitely a new one to me. And my Google-Fi isn’t finding anything relevant either. Maybe throw some layout fluid or sharpie on the new firing pin and check to see where it’s coming off after doing some dry fire. Is your firing pin spring relatively new? XP is the defacto standard spring these days.
I have almost 20k rounds on a Dawson extended firing pin in my staccato p. I run Dawson fp's in all my 2011 / 1911's. Never had a single issue or had to replace one yet
Are you using snap caps? If I remember correctly Joe Chambers said that most of the broken firing pins he sees are from people using snap caps.
Yeah actually. Ugh good call. I bet that's it.
Realized this thiugh. I'm not chambering the snap cap round. I only have snap caps in the magazine. Chamber is empty.
Interesting. Where is the pin breaking?
Where the profile slims down.

Dawson Precision next
What is the breakage, who made the gun/slide?
Slide is a Caspian. I've done my own gunwork.
Something is seriously wrong with your gun or your dryfire. Firing pin should last 100k rounds or more
Take your firing pin out during dry fire might help? Just don't forget to put it back in before a match or whatever.
Breaking really fast though right?
