Firing pin and firing pin-bushing assembly

摘要

Disclosed is an elongated, generally cylindrical, firing pin for a revolver, the firing pin having first and second end sections separated by an intermediate section. The first section terminates in a chisel tip for impacting a cartridge casing. The chiselled tip is characterized by bevelled sides and a bevelled bottom terminating in an asymmetrical tip end face. The firing pin is axially slidable in a bushing non-rotatably mounted in the revolver frame by a transverse bushing pin. A keyway system cooperates between the intermediate section of the firing pin and the bushing to preclude rotational movement of the firing pin relative to the bushing.
