To all P250 owners: does firing pin hit less hard compare to other pistols?

[lavino]

Just got this over the holidays and still waiting for my reg to arrive before I can take it to the range. Does the firing pin not feel as hitting as hard as other pistols? I tried the 'pencil method' someone suggested on Youtube. For my Glock17 my pencil flew off the barrel completely when fired pointing up. For the Sig P250, it does just pop the pencil up a bit just like the video owner's gun. He claim that his gun is reliable and fine so I wonder if if mine will be ok or not...

but just in case, is there a Sig warranty service available in Canada?

If I don't have to wait for the reg I could just go test it out today after work =(

Are you planning to shoot military surplus 9mm ammo? Otherwise you're just seeking for a problem.

No just CCI Blazer, American Eagle or Remington UMC stuff. So I assume those should work ok as it is?

If you handload, try firing some empty primed cases.

If it is a used gun, someone may have clipped a few coils off the striker spring. If it does misfire, just buy a new spring. Cheap fix.

The example I had did suffer from light primer strikes. I didn't keep the gun long enough to investigate.

I would definitely shoot it before attempting to diagnose a problem that might not exist...

Shoot it before assuming something's wrong.

Shoot it before assuming something's wrong.

I would totally agree... if the government doesn't have this stupid law thing that I need to receive the physical letter with the green cover sheet I wouldn't be hallucinating over here and would be shooting it right now =(

I have a P250 in 40 cal and 45 ACP that have shot both factory loads and reloads for a couple years now without a single FTF or FTE
