H&K Light firing pin strikes

I should also state the problem with the older USP was with practice and qual ammo which at the time was remand 165 gr 40 from Delta. My Glock 35 gobbled the stuff up like no business as did everyone elses pistols. (I work for a small department, we buy our own duty pistol with restrictions on make and caliber)
There was no problem with duty ammo. The problem with the practice ammo just sort of showed up one day.
I pushed the firing pins all the way forward and there was a visable difference at at the slide face if you will with the older one being rather short. Fired cases between the two are like night and day as well with the new pistol giving good solid firing pin strikes. The older pistol leaves shallow, light firing pin indentations. The Officer is looking to find a new firing pin as there is really nothing wrong with the old USP other than a little hoslter wear. Firing pin face on the old pistol looked OK. No springs were cut FYI because as the range guy, I would not allow it.
