I'm cleaning UPS CT and need to know how to remove the firing pin. I don't even have 200 rounds through it, but I figure its do for a cleaning. I'm use to the 1911, were you push in the spring loaded pin for removal of the FP. The HK looks like its held in with a roll pin that goes through the slide.

You probably don't need to clean that yet with only 200 rounds through it, but if you do, you remove the pin that holds in the firing pin block spring. Once that is free, the firing pin should come out easily (as a matter of fact, make sure it doesn't come out too easily and fly out of the slide across the room).

There is absolutely no need to clean the firing pin channel at 200 rounds or even at 2,000 rounds. As long as you don't ever spray anything into the FP hole in the breachface nor allow any crud to be pushed into it during routine cleaning, you will not likely need to clean your firing pin channel for 20,000 rounds.
