A firing pin or striker is a part of the firing mechanism of a firearm that impacts the primer in the base of a cartridge and causes it to fire. In firearms terminology, a striker is a particular type of firing pin where a compressed spring acts directly on the firing pin to provide the impact force rather than it being struck by a hammer.

After the trigger mechanism has been released, the tensioned mainspring will drive the firing pin or hit the firing pin so that it is driven. Mainsprings can come in many shapes, such as a cylindrical spring ( Mosin-Nagant , TT-33 , Colt M1911 ), plate spring ( Nagant revolver model 1895, Makarov pistol ) or spiral spring ( Kalashnikov ).
A firing pin and firing pin spring, whose design can greatly affect the lock time of a firearm. Lock time or action time refers to the time interval (often measured in milliseconds) from when the trigger of a firearm is activated until the firing pin strikes the primer, and depends on the design of the firing mechanism. A long lock time ...
Firearms use triggers to initiate the firing of a cartridge seated within the gun barrel chamber.This is accomplished by actuating a striking device through a combination of mainspring (which stores elastic energy), a trap mechanism that can hold the spring under tension, an intermediate mechanism to transmit the kinetic energy from the spring releasing, and a firing pin to eventually strike ...

Seventeen parts of the M1911 were reduced in size for the design of the EMP. The slide and frame were both shortened, necessitating changes to the extractor, firing pin, firing pin spring, and trigger bow, as well as the plunger tube. The grip frame circumference has also been reduced due to the magazine itself being made shorter, front-to-back ...
