Any recommendations for a Gortex type jacket that isn't over 300 bucks? Need it for actual operations, just wondering if anyone has experience with decently priced options.

Very lightly would just be because the firing pin is free floated and can bump around. If there’s a serious intent, it would be firing pin protrusion

Yeah, like I said, a light dimple is fine. But there’s a fine line where your firing pin protrusion could be actually protruding when it chambers

Dimples on the primer after firing is super common. If you don't have a dimple, you might have to worry about light primer strikes.

Also, is my fire selector supposed to stay fixed to fire for any reason? When I open up and cock the internals I can freely move it but once I fire it remains fixed
