to groove or not to groove

[kutayhan]

Hi,

There is a belief in my country that, to prevent a break down of the firing pin when shooting, you have to machine/groove it. If you do that, it will just go out of the breech block in a case of high pressure instead of breaking.

So I made some small research in the forum about grooved firing pins and found out that, after some year lugers were all produced with grooved firing pins.

Would you suggest me to machine/groove my firing pin?

Does anyone have grooved firing pin pictures, specs?

thanks, best regards,
