Some light firing pins have given ignition problems. A certain amount of momentum is needed to fire a primer and some of the light firing pins didn't have it. Some owners installed heavier mainsprings, but that increased trigger pull or even slowed the slide, etc.

I have mentioned this before but when the Poles were working on the Radom, they used a FLGR. Then they found that the gun would fire if dropped on the muzzle, so they made the guide rod two piece with a spring, eliminating the problem. So, in addition to selling us another worthless gadget, the FLGR folks brought on us all those firing pin blocks and extra parts and horrible trigger pulls.
