What is significance of Marlin one-piece firing pins?

[Naphtali]

During a so-far unsuccessful search for stainless steel crossbolt safety replacement kits, I noticed that one-piece firing pins are available for Marlin M1895s. As far as I can determine, Marlin 336-based rifles have had multipiece firing pins from their inception. I've not detected much grousing about their unreliability -- compared with a similar set-up for USRAC/Winchester M1886s.

1. Is there a significant improvement in cartridge ignition reliability when using Marlin one-piece replacement firing pins?

2. Is there a deterioration of safety factors associated with the multipiece firing pin?

The one piece lets you lighten the spring weights and maintain ignition reliablity. It also allows a somewhat smoother lever throw. Unfortunately, it does this by bypassing a safety device that helps ensure that the rifle doesn't fire out of battery. Not my cup of tea, but they seem very popular with the Cowboy shooters...
