Broken Striker

[TimWarner]

I just put in an LS titanium striker, maybe it's just me, but the gun sounds way different when dry firing.

it does feel way different than the stock striker though.

Mine was different, too. That "sproingee" sound (it's a technical term - really!) and feel after the release was eliminated by the Ti striker.

Is it an improvement?

Does it feel better?

it breaks cleaner, but the "feel" is an improvement. If you drop the hammer(striker) once, you'll see why the super-light striker is a benefit.

Since I've started using Glocks for service pistols and in my experience training cops in the US and now in Iraq, here's what I've seen break:

Trigger return springs (several)

Trigger pins (about three or four)

Locking blocks (in the .40s)

Recoil spring assemblies (at the back end from improper reassembly practices - many)

Extractors in .40 cals before the 5 degree cut was standard

Connectors (not broken, just worn out)

Trigger bars (same remark as connectors - about three instances)

Slide lock springs (four in the past two weeks in our Iraqi Glock 19s)

I've never had a striker fail and I've fired or seen fired 100s of thousands of rounds through Glock pistols. It sounds like there may have been a batch of strikers that weren't properly heat treated.

i broket the tip off a stock striker last night at practice. the gun is a nice paperweight right now. i will be stocking some spares in the future. i must say though, i am disappointed to see the striker break. this particular g-35 has fired many many rounds. but still.
