    Titanium is softer then steel. The only advantage it has is a faster lock time because it’s lighter.

    Well,

    The T1 firing pins are a poorer material choice.

    Steel takes repeated impacts better and Steel firing pins are far cheaper.

    Thumbs up

    Point well taken. I'll order up a few steel ones aswell. Thanks for the insight. I never knew all these things about firing pins until now. Better I learn now than fail later.

    It somehow got bent when it was out of the rifle. You fixed it. Forget about it.

    I'd be concerned about work hardening from it bending and being bent back. I'd replace it, too.

    A firing pin is a component that should be replaced, not repaired.
