i have been reading some old post and wanted to share my thoughts on the vortek pistol. the area around the firing pin eroded on mine due to blow back so i drilled it and installed a cva firing pin bushing and jb welded it in and then trimmed the firing pin down useing a drill and a file like a lathe. then i drilled out breech plug for 25 acp brass to use small rifle primers, now there is no blowback to ruin the soft alloy frame around firing pin and the 25 acp breech set eliminates any blowback. i will post pics as soon as i get them. hope this helps someone with an issue like this one. when i contacted traditions about this soft alloy issue they didnt want to hear about it.
