My Colt Systema jams via the firing pin
New f/p spring - Wolff extra power if you have one - they come in the Wolff kits. Also, while you have the f/p retainer out, you might take a small prick punch and raise a couple of burrs on the front side of it, on either side of the hole, so's it fits tight (light tap-in fit) and won't drop down.
For that matter, an oversize f/p retainer from Brownell's isn't very expensive and will cure the problem for sure. Helps keep the extractor from clocking as well. Will need fitting to the slide, but that's not difficult. Fixed my old Commander up nicely a few years back.
