Got on the phone today with S&W again to check on status of delivery and asked the rep on the phone about the firing pin. This rep did say he has received several calls for broken firing pins on the BG380 but he said it hasn't been something overwhelming, it's been very small numbers. I asked to get a better understanding of why the firing pin is breaking when dry firing and he said the firing pin may be coming out too much since it has nothing to make contact with "a bullet primer" and may cause added stress to the pin, causing it to possibly break or become damaged. It makes sense because when I push the firing pin out manually and watch the other end, I see the small tip of the pin come out but I haven't taken the entire FP out to look and see it entirely to determine if this is accurate or not. I still think it has to do with the FP safety flap that goes up and down.
