So a dropped straight on the muzzle discharge is unlikely. And the use of a Ti pin can introduce other issues, such as light strikes thereby having to increase mainspring weight, and decreasing recoil spring weight (which has lead to feeding issues in my particular gun). Is there an error in keeping an XP firing pin spring and a steel pin and realizing you don’t pass CA drop testing?
I’d assume since that’s the way these guns were originally designed/built, and how many come from the factory, that there wouldn’t be any increase negligent liability to run a steel pin?
You'll have to experiment to determine if you'll run into light strikes with a Ti firing pin. Many people do not have issues.
Alternatively, running a steel pin with a Wolff Extra Power firing pin spring shouldn't result in any issues and will add amount more drop safety. You could also try the Wolff Extra Extra Power spring (not included in any of the drop tests quoted before), but that may cause light strikes (probably not, but you never know).
If I was worried about it, I'd order a handful of Wolf FP springs at various weights and a Ti firing pin and experiment to determine what ran. If the Ti pin and XP spring was a problem, I'd try Steel with the XP XP spring, and if that was a problem, then steel with XP spring.
Range Officer Operator. Not stock. Aftermarket bushing/extractor/slide stop/firing pin stop/thumb safety/mainspring/magwell/bushing/mag release. Only stock internals are barrel, ignition, and grip safety. New ejector after original broke. ILS replaced with a 18 or 19 lbs mainspring, can’t remember, using a 13 lbs recoil spring, steel firing pin, and XP firing pin spring. Internal work done by Springfield and a local/reputable smith. And sights. Waiting on a new front still.

When I holster I place my thumb under the safety to hold it up in place. As my thumb makes contact with the top of the guard the downward movement of holstering pushes my thumb even harder upward on the safety, which further ensures it's in the "on position" until it forces my thumb to ride from underneath the safety. This grip also tends to break contact with the grip safety which activates it as well.
Hope this helps.
