My thoughts were that maybe someone would tell me how to fix it myself...????

The firing pin bushing needs replaced. It is press fit into the frame. Open the cylinder and look at the recoil shield where the firing pin come through. The little circle of metal there is what needs replaced. Old pressed out, new pressed in. Not a home work shop project for most people. Package it up and send it in.
