I have a new Uberti El Patron 1873 in .45 Colt. After firing about 50 rounds yesterday (First Time firing the gun) I was cleaning it up and noticed that the firing pin was loose in the hammer. I can wiggle it side to side and up and down. Not much mind you but it is not a press fit so to speak. It IS tight length wise. (In and Out)

Is this normal?

I do not know if it was like this before firing. I never thought to check.

Please advise.
