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.

Update: I ordered some magload stainless firing pin from UK. They claimed to be compatible with aftermarket triggers and dry fire safe. I will see how it goes.

Dry fire safe is one of the important feature that my kriss does not reliably lock back. It is really easy to miscount on the number of shots fired during a match.

Mate got some in from UK. Put in as preventing broken one. Runs great.
