| Why in the world would you want to do that? I may be out of line here but the best way I've found to check a firing pin on a gun is to Shoot it. In the mean time the better way to do it at home is to drop a pencil down the barrel and pull the trigger. (make sure the gun is unloaded first, DUH)

| OK maybe you are sending it to SIG so it really doesn't matter. But to remove the firing pin the pin in the side of the slide has to come out. How difficult that is varies both depending on which generation of pin it is (there are 3) and your luck. I have no idea what you are talking about in a pin on the top of the slide?

| If you see a pin on the top of the slide to take the slide apart you'll need to follow the procedure outlined in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_maO2Qy2AI&t=435sHaving said that, unless the pistol has had 20,000 rounds or more through it there is probably very little need to examine or replace the firing pin unless you're getting failures to fire that can't be explained by some other cause. |
