Is my firing pin damaged? Taurus PT145

[Steve_NEPhila]

No prob, I enjoy helping fellow sportsmen.

I found t a mention in the manual about how engaging the taurus safety system (key lock) with the pistol cocked can damage it. There is also a neat diagram on page 19 of this manual:

I hope this sheds some more light on the topic.
