Extra Long S&w Firing Pin

The Extra Long S&W Firing Pin by Cylinder & Slide is a critical replacement component for Smith & Wesson revolvers requiring extended firing pin geometry. Designed by gunsmiths with decades of law enforcement and competitive shooting experience, this firing pin addresses the specific metallurgical and dimensional requirements of S&W platforms where standard pins fall short. Whether you're maintaining duty weapons, restoring vintage revolvers, or competing in action shooting sports, a properly fitted firing pin ensures reliable primer ignition and safe operation.

Cylinder & Slide manufactures this extra-long variant to accommodate specific S&W frame and cylinder combinations where standard firing pin length creates ignition inconsistencies or timing issues. The extended geometry ensures proper primer contact geometry, reducing the risk of light strikes or misfire scenarios that compromise tactical reliability. Precision-machined from hardened tool steel, the pin resists deformation under repeated dry-fire and live-fire cycles, maintaining consistent contact force across thousands of rounds. The dimensional tolerance and material composition meet or exceed original manufacturer specifications for drop-safe performance.

This firing pin is essential for S&W revolver owners who have experienced misfires, light strikes, or who are rebuilding firearms after extended service life. Installation requires basic gunsmithing knowledge—the component interfaces directly with the hammer and rebound spring assembly, so proper alignment and function-testing are mandatory. Compatibility is firearm-specific; verify your S&W model designation before ordering. Once installed and tested, the extra-long firing pin restores reliability to match factory specifications, restoring confidence in both defensive and recreational applications.
