Firing Pin

I have a Tarus Model 66 .357 with a broken firing pin circa 1986.
It's been at the local Gunsmiths for quite awhile and he says he can't find a replacement even from Tarus. Any suggestions. :

Hey! Sir:
If he's a gunsmith - make one!

There's gunsmiths and then there's parts-changers.

Contact Taurus; they might send the pin or have you return the gun to them on their dime.

Harry, I agree. Those (and S&W) firing pins are easy to make, just not very cost effective to do so when the factory ones run a couple of bucks.
