my question is about my firing pin in my M&P40. when i disassembled the gun do a re-oil and inspect after a day at the range i noticed that the step just behind the pin was starting to "mushroom." i wish i had pictures to post but i dont have access to a camera right now.
i cannot take apart the firing pin assembly completely, the two plastic "keepers" that hold the spring to the firing pin come off fine, but when i try to remove the guide sleeve it does not slide off the end of the firing pin and i assume it should.
i never disassembled to this point before this time, so i dont know if it was supposed to be like this or not. if it isnt supposed to be like this then its time to send the firing pin assembly back to S&W
if anyone has any experience with this it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
