Thank you John for the very helpful points. Will do. George

Thanks so much T-Hound! Appreciate the response....Actually I have been doing that and found that the Kahr firing pin has much smoother finish overall compared to my broken WH pin which is quite rougher and far more crudely finished . My biggest fear is an action lockup by the sear on the new part, thus I am studying this quite carefully. Once again much obliged for the advice!! George Layman

Hi Just wondering if the Kahr 1927a1 firing pins will interchange with a 1980 manufacture West Hurley 27A5 that was made for the long Type 1 firing pin. My greatest concern that if the Kahr product is used,that any excess tolerance might crack the bolt face. Currently Numrich has only the Type 3 pin in stock and the tech claims both the Type 2 and 3 are compatible, however I am not certain if the so called "Type 1" pin is in reality the correct nomenclature for the long stem firing pin? In any case since having broken my firing pin, it has been nearly impossible to locate one of the identical types. I purchased one of the older "nub" type firing pins but they do not clear the firing pin channel. am curious of what to do, or a source for one of these firing pins. May have to ultimately try a precision machine shop to have one made. Thanks. George

Say I'm curious if any one knows if a Kahr firing pin will safely interchange with a West Hurley 1927A5 that was designed for the long type firing pin. That is to say would any excess tolerance cause perhaps the bolt face to crack? Reason being Gunparts has only the Type 3 firing pins in stock. Would love to find this out as no one it seems has the style pins anywhere. Thanks so much. George-Rolling Block
