Loves2Shoot Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 This is our premium quality striker that was design for improved ignition of primers. It is made from high grade 17-4 stainless steel and heat treated for a long service life. The striker engagement face is high polished for a smooth release. The striker face has a neutral angle, so it may reduce your trigger pull weight over the stock striker. 45 ACP 9/40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckaroo45 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Just took a peek over at your website and found a decision has to be made; re: striker spring - plus or reduced power. I'm a revolver / 1911 guy (some say marginal) and don't understand the implication. What do I need to know to make an informed decision?

Loves2Shoot Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Reduce striker springs hit the primer will less force but reduce trigger pull weight. Heavier springs hit harder but add trigger pull weight. If you use a reduced power striker spring, I suggest Federal primers only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braxton1 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Scott, Why hasn't anyone built a lightened striker for the XD yet? It seems like you could run a lighter striker spring, but still get a good primer hit, because the "energy" formula is more velocity-dependent, rather than mass. I have considered running one of my extras through the mill, just to cut longitudinal slots in it, but haven't had the time yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to go to far because I don't want one to break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_striker Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I've just finished up a lot of Wolf SPP primers that I got about 8 years ago. Had about 20k of them and they were the nickel colored ones. While they were hard to seat, I rarely had a misfire due to not seating properly. I just switched to the next lot of Tula primers (KVB-9) I got about 3-4 years ago. They are brass colored and seem to be smaller dimensionally than the nickel Wolf SPP's I had previously. I'm getting an extremely high failure rate with these primers. I just did a test of 100 and all primers were seated between .003"-.009". I had 4 failures. Tried setting them off 3 times each and nothing. I'm not sure if these just have a harder cup or what. How does this striker improve primer detonation over the OEM striker?

Loves2Shoot Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 We changed the tip geometry to focus the energy in a small area. We have photos of striker in our webstore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_striker Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) We changed the tip geometry to focus the energy in a small area. We have photos of striker in our webstore. Thanks Scott. I'll give it a try. Hopefully the striker works and it's not a bunch of bad Tula primers. The tip definitely looks "sharper" than the OEM. There hasn't been any issues with it piercing primers has there? Edited January 5, 2015 by d_striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 We've had good feedback from customers so far on the harder primers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
