What pistol made these firing pin impressions?

[mmattockx]

Was going through some range pickup brass yesterday and noticed some 9mm with an unusual firing pin impression. It is a very wide, flat, shallow mark, with what looks like a beveled edge on the firing pin instead of the more typical rounded end.

Any ideas?

Gun that fires from an open bolt?
Just a guess.

In a similar vein to the original OP what pistol uses a square or rectangular firing pin?
I've seen some 9mm brass with square FP marks on the primers.

It is most likely from a Glock.

They were answering the rectangular fire pin impression question that Ohno asked.

in my experence they tend to leave more impression on the case head, ive got some IVI brass that shows the perfect imprint of an uzi bolt face, the primers were still crimped too
