Proposed is a method for producing an igniter socket (1) for pyrotechnical systems, comprising the following steps: an embossing step in which an outer contour of a main part (2) of the igniter socket (1) is embossed, forming a cylinder face (3) and a shoulder (4) adjoining the cylinder face (3), a generatrix line of the cylinder face (3) being parallel to the embossing direction; a shaving step in which at least the cylinder face (3) is shaved substantially along the generatrix line; and a punching step in which the shoulder (4) is removed.
