Greetings,
I purchased my 1927A1 Thompson and shot approximately 300 rounds through it. I loaded a magazine (http://i.viglink.com/?key=00d6ae671079400c0bf97fbc0ae882fe&insertId=2f1a46121da5fb01&type=CD&exp=60%3ACI1C55A%3A5&libId=ju7hqf4q01015q09000DAdmhsm0ml&loc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.**************%2Fforums%2Flo ng-guns%2F11476-1927a1-firing-pin-failure.html&v=1&iid=2f1a46121da5fb01&opt=true&out=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.brownells.com%2Fmagazines%2F index.htm&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.**************%2F&title=1927A1%20firing%20pin%20failure&txt=%3Cspan%3Emagazine%3C%2Fspan%3E)
and started shooting when suddenly all I heard was a click. Tried again and click. I had also had feeding issues so I decided to return the gun to Kahr for inspection and repair. I got it back a few weeks ago and I tried to shoot it again. All was well until this past Sat while I was shooting (http://i.viglink.com/?key=00d6ae671079400c0bf97fbc0ae882fe&insertId=8f80b7150d46fa24&type=CD&exp=60%3ACI1C55A%3A5&libId=ju7hqf4q01015q09000DAdmhsm0ml&loc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.**************%2Fforums%2Flo ng-guns%2F11476-1927a1-firing-pin-failure.html&v=1&iid=8f80b7150d46fa24&opt=true&out=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.brownells.com%2Fsearch%2Find ex.htm%3Fk%3Dshooting&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.**************%2F&title=1927A1%20firing%20pin%20failure&txt=%3Cspan%3Eshooting%3C%2Fspan%3E)
pcc in an IDPA match. Shot about 60 rounds and then I got a click again. Retried and click. Another broken firing pin. Has anyone else had a similiar experience?

I've not had that issue. I'm just fixing to break mine down for a good cleaning. I don't shoot mine too much or often and I did experience some feed issues with my drum but I figured I was loading it wrong, once I sorted that out I didn't have any issues.

No problems with my stick mags.
