Jromanowski Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I Built a glock 24, I still need to purchase a striker for it. I have heard good things about the Jager strikers, but I can't seem to find them. What is everybody using? Are there any that I should stay away from? Do the aftermarket strikers really make a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jacket Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Aftermarket strikers allow you you use a lighter striker springs and still have reliable ignition. Don't know what you were going to do with your trigger. I sent an e mail to jaeger about 2 weeks ago and they told me 6 weeks until they are back in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty whiteboy Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Try federal primers with the stock striker before you go lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBP55 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I use Jager but if I needed one and they were not available I would go with a Glockworx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jromanowski Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Anybody use the titanium strikers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leas327 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I bought a used titanium striker off the classifieds. Can't remember the brand. I ran it with a Zev spring kit. It ran good with Fed sp primers. I ran out of pistol primers and had problems finding more so I switched to rifle. My gun started to getting light strikes after that. I ended up putting the stock stuff back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noximus03 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Jager here, and very happy with the buy. I got lucky, though. I had bought mine and the following week I went to buy another one and they were out of stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cferree Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I use Lightning Strike lightened steel strikers in both my G17 and G34. And I use Wolf reduced power striker springs. Both guns run with CCI and Winchester primers (if you make sure they are seated correctly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorillaTactical Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 +1 for the Zev/Glockworx lightened extended striker. Made a difference for me. I would have approx. 2 FTF out of 100 rounds. After adding the Zev striker I've yet to have the problem again (using factory ammo and primers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I have used the Lightning strike and the Jager. Neither of my Glocks would fire with the LS installed, and with the Jager caused a crunchy terrible pull. I'm not sure what I was searching for by buying either of them anyway, I never have light strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Moose Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I use a Zev Tech/Glockworx lightened/extended striker and haven't had a problem with igniting factory ammo, even with lighter springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyro Shooter Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I have found that with the exception of Winchester Win-clean and some obscure variant of "Green" Fiocchi, all of the primer cups are all most the same hardness, it is the priming compound that is more or less sensitive to ignition impact from the striker. with that being said all Glock strikers are not created equal. stock strikers: stainless steel and last forever, or until the tip breaks off. Aftermarket exotic metals: Titanium, high dollar and cool especially when coated with pretty colors, the pretty colors (Like Gold TiN will render a slightly harder surface. but titanium is not the preferred metal to be hit by a stainless trigger bar repeatedly, coated or not. yes you will get a faster lock up, but if your loosing the match and a trip to the prize table by .0001 sec . . . man up cupcake and practice some more. the down side of Titanium is that I have found it just does not last as long as the price i paid should work out, most of the time the tip of the striker will start to chip and then it's a trip to intermittent light strike land. Aftermarket Steels: as long as the tolerances are meet these work reliably for a long time. Lightened Aftermarket Steels: again as long as the tolerances are meet these will work very well, you need to make sure that the "Leg" of the striker is a minimum of .440, any shorter and you have a wonderful light trigger that most likely will go full auto, The Glockworx has a slightly longer tip so that a lighter striker spring will work reliably with the widest variety of primers on the market, that is you free advice for the day, let the flame wars begin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EkuJustice Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Use the Jager ones in mine. Avoid the lone wolf as there have been numerous reports of them breaking ALOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRush Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I took the stock striker from 115 to 87 grains with a dremel in about 15 minutes following a post on here. I am happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheezdog Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I use stock strikers. For years I thought Titanium, and any kind of a lightened striker was the way to go. The titanium strikers started to chip on the tip causing missfires, and they were really expensive. Then I started lightening my stock strikers. In the end I went back to an unpolished stock striker with a 4lb Wolf striker spring and have had my best luck doing so. Stock strikers are pretty expensive now but Glock armorers can buy them for 30 dollars, anywhere else they are in the 45 to 50 range. Lately I have been seeing a lot of chipped tips on stock strikers too. I don't know if they're too brittle or what, but I have been replacing a lot of them lately. Hope this helps.

Atlgentlegiant Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 +1 for Zev strikers here. Since I put mine in, with lighter spring, zero failures to fire and I had seen some problems with stock striker and springs on Fiocchi and some commercial reloads. The Zev strikers seem to have a good reliability track record too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGlock Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I recieved my replacement generation/version 3 of the Lone Wolf Distributors strikers. They seem to be a little more stout than the previous two versions. Feel is still nice and crisp. I have close to 500 rounds with no issues. I do hope that this is a permanent fix and that there are no more issues. We will see! Hopefully third time is the charm here.
