tec-22 firing pin

bustinstainless
i have an intratec 22 that the firing pin keeps breaking(the only problem it functions flawlessly)
i dont dry-fire no need for that but when my mag empties i pull the trigger and get a dry fire
i have tried firing pins from 2 different suppliers 1 broke after around 500 rounds the other lasted around 2000
does anyone know what material would last longer or someone who can make a better one ?

    Begging the question, any firing pin made out of better steel than the Intratecs would be better.

    Some shooters like titanium pins, because the lighter metal leads to faster lock time, and supposedly slightly better accuracy. This is more helpful for match-grade rifles, though, and I don't think you'd notice any accuracy benefit in your Intratec.

    Also, needless to say, there isn't exactly a big market for aftermarket parts for Intratec guns, so you're unlikely to find one in production already.

    There are probably any number of good gunsmiths or metal parts fabricators that could make you up a firing pin from scratch, assuming you provided one to copy, though I can't name any, and I also can't give you a cost estimate on a job like that.

    As a suggestion, if you think dry fires are what are breaking your firing pins, you could put a snap cap (or equivalent) in as your FIRST round every time you load a magazine. That wawhen the mag is empty, your "click" will be cushioned by the snap cap.
