Firing pin damaged... but is it broken?

[Nate]

I went shooting Saturday, put about 80 rounds through my Bersa Thunder 380. However when I got home and broke down the gun for cleaning I dicovered where hammer hits the firing pin there was a small piece missing. Or it is just crooked... but I can't find pics of a good one to tell. See pics (Large files)...

This gun is fairly new as there are probably only 300 rounds or so through it and I bought it March 3rd. What needs to be done to fix this? And is it really damaged?

I looked at my wifes firestorm, and its entirely different, is yours the Bersa Concealed Carry, or the standard .380?

It is the standard .380

Nothing wrong with your Bersa. I have the same pistol and it's the exact same way. I thought it looked weird when I bought it but she sure does shoot nicely

if you have ANY doubt, replace it.
a damaged FP can cause all sorts of problems, depending on the fire arms it's self, from a FTF to an accidental discharge,
take no chances.

I have the same pistol and it's the exact same way. Shoots nice too.

Bersa parts are cheap, if you think it's bad, replace it.

Really? Actually the more I look at it the more it looks like it's just rotated a little.

Mine has the same "crooked" look about it. Yeah, I know, it looks like half of it broke off and it roated partially from how it is "supposed" to be but it's fine.

Just pulled mine outta the drawer and its the same way cut in half with a twist
