What is a Firing Pin Return Spring?

The firing pin return spring is a critical safety component that retracts the firing pin to its rearward position after the hammer strikes it. This spring prevents the firing pin from protruding forward when not intended, which could cause a slam fire if the pistol is dropped or jarred. A worn, weakened, or broken firing pin return spring can cause light primer strikes, misfires, or dangerous slam fire conditions.

Signs You Need a New Firing Pin Return Spring:

• Light primer strikes or occasional misfires
• Inconsistent ignition, especially with certain ammunition brands
• Firing pin protrudes when slide is closed (visible safety issue)
• Visible wear, corrosion, or loss of spring tension
• Pistol has been in storage for extended periods

Why Choose Genuine OEM Parts?

When it comes to critical safety components like firing pin return springs, genuine Smith & Wesson OEM parts ensure proper spring tension, material specifications, and heat treatment. The firing pin return spring must provide exactly the right amount of tension—too weak and you risk slam fires, too strong and you may get light primer strikes. Smith & Wesson springs are precision-manufactured and tested to deliver consistent, reliable, and safe performance for thousands of cycles.
