Is there a trick to get firing pin back down in firing pin hole. It took awhile to get pin down to put plate on. I take spring off firing pin  and it should drop straight in but firing pin will not drop straight in.  Put 150 rounds through Vigil and not one problem. Thanks for responces.

Sometimes there is a ridge down inside the FP tunnel left from machining that catches the end of the pin. Most of mine always go right in but one or two I have to get in inline just right to get them in. Just never force them and bend the pinmad!

I thought about a wooden dowel with 1000 grip sandpaper and see if i could smooth out firing pin channel in case of bur. Dont want to void warrenty.
