Preface: was shooting an IDPA match today, and last shot of stage one I had a failure to go into battery. After that pull the trigger, click;nothing. Tap, rack, click, nothing... So the guessing game: What gun, and aside from the obvious problem in the pic, what happened? Prize is a new Pmag for 5.56, shipped to you or F2F in middle TN. I've torn it apart and figured it out, thought I'd toss a challenge out and see if anyone (besides AC3BOYZ, as he knows) can guess what happened. Side note:700+ rnds thru the gun and not a single issue till today... 1484bc8e21e43283216d00ce549ff100.jpg

I know pretty much nothing about IDPA, but i googled BUG match….  So based on your profile, I'm gonna guess the gun is TCP 380. Pic is the back of the slide/end plate.  Looks like the fire pin missing, so I'm guessing it went through the slide?

I'm going to go with a Walther or similar style that has one of the cocked indicators of the little red button that pops out, that went missing or was knocked out along with the firing pin.

taurus tcp. broken firing pin retaining pin?


We have a winner. Not so much as the pin breaking, but it climbed during a firing sequence, allowing the firing pin mech to shred when I went back into battery.

Taurus is sending the entire assembly to me on their dime and they had great customer service. Only problem I've ever had with this weapon.

Shoot me a pm Surfabily and we'll coordinate your winnings.
