If the serial number does indicate this gun was made in 1893, then you have a Model 1891 (2nd Variation of the Model 1891) in .32 Colt caliber, which came either in center-fire or rim-fire cartridges. New firing pins are available from Wisner's ( www.wisnersinc.com )

Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!

Confirmed, your rifle is a second variation Model 1891 in .32 Colt caliber. But, according to the records, it did not leave the factory until 1895.
Yes, this model can have 2 firing pins, one for rim-fire cartridges, and one for center-fire cartridges.
The .32 Colt cartridge came in short, long and long rifles sizes and either rim or center-fire cartridges.
