No its not its just as strong and depending on what grade of steel can be stronger, while at the same time being lighter then steel and more corrosion and chemical resistant.

it,s actually very flexy, fighter jet skin. steel with more weight probably better for punching primers.

Please educate me. Other than being able to say "I have a Ti firing pin", why would you want one??

That's exactly the reason.
Less weight = less kinetic energy when bolt closes = reduced chance of slam fire with ammo that has sensitive primers.

So, does anyone know where one might exist in Canada?

It will bend but has way more memory and recoil compared to steel, I had a job where I had to bend titanium rod into a U shape and have the 2 sides parallel. When I made the part out of steel I could bend them myself with an industrial hydraulic bender. When I used the same machine on the titanium rod it would spring back 40%. The company I took it to to be bent, had to over bend them 40% so they would spring back to parallel

Not in Canada but I order alot from Bronells to get things I cant find in Canada, I have a package on the way from them right now for a American Defense RMR mount that I couldnt find anywhere

They list a Ti firing pin and will ship it to Canada

Do tell, how many slam fires have you had in your AR, or on any AR?? It's a non issue..

They first came out in the late 90's, were very popular for a very short period of time...
That cool aid is long gone

I wouldn't be looking for one if it was a non issue for me.
Thanks anyways.

Umm - won't you get light strikes unless you use a really heavy hammer spring?

Well, since e=m x v squared, the increased speed of the lighter pin might actually hit harder....

Now we're talking about some real useful stuff!!!!

Hee-hee

I think I'd be more concerned with why your rifle is slam firing in the first place. A few grams isn't making a difference either, but feel free to convince yourself otherwise.

i build fighter jet wings, the skin is not titanium, the frame is.
the skin, well lets just say its built of something else.

Please, tell us how and why your AR is having slam fire issues? With several million copies of the rifle in existence I have yet to meet anyone who has experienced a slam fire or even heard of a verifiable story of one.
