Think I'm going back to brand X.
I replaced these two broken strikers on my own. When my third broke, I emailed S&W and they had a new one in the mail box in 7 days.
Then last night I was dry firing and noticed the nose of my striker laying on the floor..

The nose on the new striker I received just a few days ago broke today during dryfire. I'm very sad because I love this pistol and this is the third striker I've gone through in the past 8,000 rounds. The first one lasted around 4,000. The other 2 around 2,000 each. Can I please have another one?

Hi,
The striker assembly is going to wear prematurely if you dryfire at a high rate.
If you would like to purchase a new striker assembly you may contact our Parts
Department at 800-331-0852.
Thank you

Since August or September last year my M&P9Pro has broken 4 strikers. Seems S&W doesn't want to send me another one. I sent them one more email with more imput. Maybe it'll work out. Or maybe I'll be shooting a 34 from now on.
John Sanchez and Michael Plaxco taught the armorer's course I took in August on the M&P and they both said dry firing would not hurt the M&P series of pistol.
