Hello Everyone,
Wanted to start out, that this forum has already taught me a lot in the brief time I have been here, thanks to everyone for that. So, calling on your help again: The short version: My Gen 3 Glock 34 is releasing the striker without pulling the trigger.
Long version: I added an extra firing pin safety (SP00084) to a recent order to mess around with polishing/slight rounding off the corner to try and lighten the take up. I dropped this part in after polishing/slight rounding, and did some dry firing. I broke the shot, and to feel my reset I kept the trigger depressed when I cycled the slide. I did this a few times without issue, but then I cycled the slide, with the trigger pulled, and when the slide went back into battery, the striker dropped. I tried to replicate this, and about 50 cycles later it did. So, I swapped out my FPS to the original piece and tried to replicate it, which, unfortunately I did.
The summary: What happens is, that after cycling, when releasing the trigger out to reset (hardly any movement), the striker drops. The barrel has to be pointed down to make this happen.
Additional History: I don't have an exact round count, but I do have a few thousand, less than 10,000 with a couple FTF, FTE, and I believe one double feed. I dry fire often. I just recently switched the connector out for a Ghost 3.5 (non rocket model) and a vickers slide lock lever but haven't test fired with this yet. This pistol was purchased in 2008-2009.
So, any help as to what could be causing this?
Thanks everyone,
Cole
