The firing pin is broken on the one I have now, also...
I'm not the original purchaser, but the previous/original owner had already gotten a replacement firing pin from Arms East.
Are they covered under any kind of "factory recall" ??? If not, how much for 3...?
The psychotic murderer in Newtown, CT, broke 41 laws – how INSANE do you have to be to think the 42nd law would've had any effect on this madman ?

TD identified the problem with some earlier firing pins (work hardening in machining) and will replace broken firing pins.
We have replaced about 5 broken firing pins, no charge obviously.
Boomer74, was your TD originally purchased at AEI? I thought I was told that the carbine you own did not come from AEI. If not, is the original vendor not prepared to help?
We certainly do repair anything we sold either directly or through a dealer, but do not provide free warranty work for firearms that we have never had anything to do with. If this firearm came through AEI, and you have a broken firing pin, please do let us know.

I am in the market right now for the 45 acp version, full continuous rail.
Question 1 has the fireing pin issue been resolved ?
Question 2 what does stock look like Im waiting until my birthday as an excuse to the wife for reason of purchase. Can I wait that long or should I put my order in sooner than later?

Did the second batch you guys got in last summer( the ones shipped with no mag) have improved firing pins?
How much is a firing pin worth?
How many firing pins to you have in stock?
I am this close to buying one of the TD9mm in Glock. Only thing holding me back is the firing pin. Could anyone comment on why the firing pin breaks so easily? Is it prone to damage due to dry firing? Any improvements done by the factory?
Sounds like they were a bit brittle due to heat treatment and that's been fixed so I wouldn't worry about getting a new one.
If the pins are cheap enough though having a spare is never a bad idea.....
Combination of work-hardening during machining and heat-treatment leading to brittle. At one point they TD firing pins were modified AR firing pins, they are now manufactured from the get-go as a TD pin. I don't have the exact price of the pins with me, but they are less than $20 for sure. Not all earlier pins were potentially bad (there was a couple of generations/batches of evolution), those which do break (and which we imported) will be replaced out of inventory. We don't have enough pins here to sell at the moment (we will later), but we do have enough to replace any that break.
