Fire Starter Titanium Firing Pin for Ruger Mark Series
At a Glance:
- Titanium is 40% lighter than steel
- Helps reduce lock time for higher accuracy
- Non-corrosive and highly durable
The TANDEMKROSS Fire Starter Titanium Firing Pin for Ruger® Mark™ Series is a drop in replacement for the factory firing pin. A titanium firing pin is lighter and moves faster than a heavier steel pin. This reduces lock time and allows the gun to fire faster. The lighter titanium pin is resistant to mushrooming and will provide repeatability with positive primer strikes. With less deformation of the casing due to the lighter weight of the firing pin it can also lead to better extraction. The stability of titanium over steel makes it an ideal choice of material when operating in extreme heat or cold conditions.

Peace of Mind
It seems that Ruger rushed into production the MKIV series as evidenced by various issues the latest being several posts of failures of the firing pin at the second hole which was a design change for the MKIV series. So rather than take a chance, I bought Fire Starters for my Competition and 22/45. Easy to install, work great, peace of mind.

excellent replacement
I bought this firing pin to replace the factory part in my new Ruger MKIV stainless target pistol. factory pins are breaking and doing serious damage to the chamber mouth. easy to install, quality well designed/made part.

Fire Starter Ti
It's too early to tell much since I've only put a couple of dozen rounds through my MkIV since I installed the Fire Starter firing pin but it installed easily and has worked fine so far. I bought it due to reports that the Ruger OEM firing pins were breaking if dry fired a lot and this was a preventive measure.

better than original
Replaced original firing pin in my Ruger MkIV after about 4000 rounds. Original was having too many failure to fires. It always had a few with some brands of ammo. New TandemKross is wider and has a larger head than the original. At first, I was not sure it would fit. But it works great. I has been flawless after 500 rounds. It leaves a bigger impression on the rim of the brass case.

Reduces stove pipes
The lighter weight improves stovepipes. Shot over 100 rounds with this new firing pin and inspected cases. Strong indents, no failures to fire. Worth the small investment.

I experienced 2 to 4 misfires per magazine with this firing pin. It was returned.

Mr.
Absolute garbage - at LEAST a 50% failure rate on ammunition going off. Prior to installation would have 1 out of 25 or 30 rounds would be a misfire, after installation, 5 of 10 would misfire. Four different kinds of ammo were tried, Federal, Winchester and Remington, all misfired the same. Guys I shoot with asked me what was wrong with my gun as mine usually works and shoots the best. I would not even give it a rating of one star but that's as low as it goes.

easy drop in upgrade
Oem had about 25k rounds on it and is still good; hopefully this one wears as well or less. Perfect fit and function, easy to install. Highly recommend as upgrade or replacement.
