I think I have some literature on the PAF, but it will take a while to dig up. It was almost a copy of a Browning, or looked close. The firing pin is a striker type and in-line with the cartridge, so it should hit close to center on the primer, but being made in S.A., it may have had looser tolerances.
First, check to see if the firing pin will stick out a good distance with the slide when all the way back. If it does not, it could have broken off, and someone rounded over the end, etc. The firing pin nose, in this pistol, is the ejector. History: Quote:

Your welcome. Have him check and see, with the slide all the way back until it stops, that the firing pin sticks out a little farther than the front nose of the extractor, when comparing the two from the breech face of the slide.
