They are a little lighter, which can help shave off a bit of time Match, but Titanium will eventually cause galling, which slows those parts down, and, as you've experienced, bending, etc
Unless you are willing to spend a lot of extra $, and are making a living as a top-tier Competitor who really benefits from the few thousandths of a seconds, and are willing to replace said parts with alarming regularity, just use steel.
Titanium parts only make sense if you are a very good, and serious, competition shooter.I don't have a lot of experience with titanium AR firing pins. Never had one before. Matador Arms sent me a new one, same as the one that came with the upper although the length of other pins I measured in other guns. In studying the properties of titanium compared to the tool steel firing pins, I am not quite sold on the titanium firing pins. I put a tool steel firing pin in I bought from PSA. Lets see how it holds up.
