I predict a vigorous market in aftermarket P365 tool-steel strikers.

So SIG confirmed this morning that the striker is a MIM part. The technician said they had received no complaints on this part and no reports of breakage. There is no recall on the part, nor do they anticipate any issues with breakage. I am going to fire another 50 rounds today as they said my pistol was barely broken in. Damn. Just damn.

Aren't Glock strikers MIM now? Yes, I read,Glock switched to using the MIM process on some of their internal parts mid production of the GEN 3.

Well just s-hit. I fired mine another 50 it’s a very accurate gun. The LGS proprietor confirmed another firing pin break on one of the other 15 guns he has sold. I know the guys at lightning strike and asked them if they would consider it as a new striker product. SIG steps in s-hit with every new product they make. What ass hats. Anyway I will just keep shooting mine until it breaks and send it in.

Hopefully you’ll have a fast turnaround with Sig, Sad to see other confirmed firing pin breakages. Hopefully, sooner, rather than later, someone will come out A bar stock firing pin.

Ouch, I'd hate to have to send something back, that due to material choice....
Re: selling of Glock 19s.......It seems many folks it would be the last to part with.....and I know they do not fit everyone,
but they do seem to always go bang bang bang......
Well there can always be a lemon, but it seems Sig might have a few kinks to work out yet, time will tell. I doubt a year from now new guns will be having these issues above.

Did you pull that out of your gun? I did not see the gun that was broken in GA, so I am hearing it from the two people that sold the gun to the man.

I read of one failure of the firing pin which was the nipple, that protrudes from the firing pin hole. Hopefully ken999 Will chime in with the particulars of his failure.

We will see I guess. Mine is doing fine. Maybe ken999 was using snap caps like the fellow here near me.

I've got a broken firing pin in my 365 at the 600rnd mark..
The gun was flawless through 400, then had 3 failed, to hold opens in the final 200.
Took it out yesterday to run some carry ammo and nothing...??
Pulled it apart and the pin was snapped off. Looks like the unit is cast. Check this out. Were you getting swipe marks on the primers that looked like the ones in this thread? Link

What in the hell is wrong with manufacturers nowadays? ^^^ Are we, the consumers, not willing to pay for quality any more? Nothing on any firearm should break or give trouble before several thousand rounds. It not usually about us paying a few percent more per unit. it's all about manufacturers making a couple. $/unit x thousands of units=$$$$$$$$$$$$ for them. And a sore ash hole for us.

I believe Kimber was one of the first manufacturers to use the MIM process with the introduction of the Kimber Classic, it's been about two decades since I bought mine that I later sold but don't recall this being problematic for Kimber. Anyone have a different perspective or better memory?
I agree with everyone, the firing pin is not the place to use MIM and I was looking at a 365 yesterday, it sure has a nice trigger and fits my hand well.

The 30 year upward trend in popularity of low to moderately priced pistols has caused a downward trend in quality across the entire spectrum. To avoid MIM nowadays means a semi-custom handgun and at least a grand. Even parts that used to be cast are being replaced with MIM.

I had a Kimber MIM magazine catch crumble into dust while firing my .45 one day. I do think Kimber has had some bad runs of various MIM parts over the years. IIRC Kimber had some thumb safety and grip safety MIM failures. Didn't Colt try MIM 1911 extractors once? That was a fail also. I definitely wouldn't want an MIM firing pin.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
