Thread: Most Reliable Kriss DMK22C firing pin?

I don't think we have many choices for Kriss firing pin nowadays. Viable options are
- Kriss factory firing pin
- M9 engineering Ti firing pin
- Valmont (looks like they are out of business now?)

Other than stocking many spare kriss firing pins, what's your opinion?



Background story: I dropped a TriggerTech diamond trigger to the Kriss and my second firing pin instantly broke when dry firing while adjusting the trigger pull weight. I know it is my bad to dry fire a rimfire rifle but I don't expect the firing pin to break that often.

It's not the answer you want but my solution was to buy a Tippmann.

I have to admit that it is a good solution.

This is a reliable choice and likely the easiest to find. It's a direct replacement and should function well, especially if you plan on sticking with a standard trigger.

These can offer a little bit of weight reduction compared to the factory pin. However, titanium can be more brittle than steel, so there's a chance it could be more susceptible to breaking under high stress.

It seems like you might be correct that Valmont is no longer in business, making this a less viable option.
