to groove or not to groove

Yep. Don't put grooves in your own pin, get a replacement one instead.

Messing with the components of a pistol will only lower it's value. Especially if you live in Turkey and happen to have a rare Turkish contract version. (in which case you shouldn't shoot it anyway).

I agree with Vlim - don't mess with your firing pin. If you still want to shoot your gun, use brass cased ammunition and clean your firing pin occasionally. Remember, a million P08s went through the Great War without trouble!
