I have a brand new STI Trojan 1911 in .40SW This past weekend I installed a new magwell and had the lower half of the gun disassembled. No real issues assembling and disassembling a 1911. I have never disassembled the slide of any of it's components past field stripping. I noticed today while dry firing at the office that the fireing pin was trough the breech face as the slide was going back forward. I discovered that the tip of the firing pin was bent, not allowing it to return to proper operation.
Any idea of what caused this? I did use a dummy round in it this weekend while doing reloading drills but i don't see how that would effect it.
The gun may have 50 rounds through it.
