Firing pin required

Hi guy I have a wee problem. I recently bought a 2nd hand Tanfoglio Force pistol in .22lr. I have had some firing problems and took it back to my dealer. The smithy felt it was a firing pin issue. We had problem sourcing a new pin so he made one.

I have only tried it twice since getting it back:
- 30 rounds Winchester Lazer 22lr - 27 fired 3 needed the hamer re-cocked and then they fired.

- 30 CCI Velositor (???) about 22/23 fired and the others wouldn't work at all with re-cocking. I put them in my rifle and then they fired. So ammo ok.

Anyone know whereI can buy a factory made trigger for my pistol. Can't get them here (NI). Do any of you know where I could get them. My father in law lives in Arizona so he can get it for me.

Your help would be appreciated. If I can't get this sorted I will have to get rid of the gun it really is disapointing. It breaks my concentration so I thinking "will it fire" instead of good zeroing, if you know what I mean.

Have you contacted the European or British Isles distributor for Tanfoglio?

EAA is the importer for Tanfoglio handguns over here, and I'm not sure that they import one called the "Force" to the States. :o

(It might be long way 'round, but perhaps an email to the folks at EAA, and they could tell you who to contact on your side of the pond?)
 
Thanks Tamara, I try that. Lesson learned here for me is in future, buy a gun that I can get parts for easilly.

But that takes some of the fun out of it. I do feel your pain though, I had to have a firing pin made for a Bayard .380 years ago.
 
Big Dog,don't feel alone.

I just bought a Star BM that I'll be grinding down drill bits to make firing pins if they ever break(as they are known to).
 
I had to have a firing pin made and a Sako extractor fitted on an E. German SSG-82 rifle. Who knew that the commies would use pot metal for the FP and extractor claw on a precision sniper weapon? :o
