The firing pin for this .380 build is off center, unfortunately I can't do much about that without a complete rebuild. As you can see, I rotated the shell 3x to figure out if the firing pin was too high or too low. This happens also when I remove the firing pin limiting screw, so it's not that...

What could be causing these light strikes and is this still viable or do I really need to rebuild everything? **Causes I could imagine: **

• firing pin too short
• Hammer spring too week
• firing pit spring too long/strong
• primer isn't going off because it's not being hit on center

Can I still set off the primer if it isn't being hit perfectly on center? What's the most likely culprit?

I'd appreciate some input
