wtturn Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 How light of a striker spring are you guys able to run with cci primers?4.5# is reliable but you should change it every few thousand rounds IMO for peace of mind. Springs are cheap. A light strike is expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db10bo Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I was running a 4# and setting off cci's with no problems with the extended striker that came with the kit. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrocDowns Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 How light of a striker spring are you guys able to run with cci primers I ran a zev 2lbs for a year with a lightned striker from ZEV. Id get one about every match or two, until the last one where i had one or two a stage, swithced back to a Taran striker spring which i have never had problems setting off a primer with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Thanks I have a Zev 2lb and was getting a lot. The Tti reduced power I'm getting a few. Running stock now to get none. Ordered a lightened striker hoping I can go back to the Taran at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I've been using a 4.5# with stock striker and setting off CCI and S&B primers 100%. I haven't even bothered trying the 4# with stock striker since enough people say it doesn't always work. I have the full DK Custom kit on order with lightened striker and will try the 4# with that.

mikeyjones Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I'm running a 4.5# and keep having light strikes. Usually 1 or 2 a stage every match. Currently using CCI and sb primers. Will make the switch to federal to see if they work better. Trying to avoid switching to an extended firing pin.

I used the 4# striker spring with the modified striker from the custom kit and it was a great trigger feel but the lifespan was short before I began having light strikes. I've written off the 4# entirely. It's just not worth the risk for a very marginal gain. Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garmil Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 How many lb is the Tti reduced power spring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBP55 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Almost any Glock will run with the OEM firing pin and a.4.5# spring with most primers. Most will run with a 4# spring with an extended lightweight firing pin. Change both springs on a regular basis. What ZEV calls a 2# firing pin spring is actually a 4# spring. The firing pin and channel need to remain dry, Do Not Oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garmil Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Shot some more tonight and got a light strike with the factory striker spring. Figured it must be something else wrong so checked my primer depth loaded some new rounds seated deeper and so far no light strikes with the light Zev "2lb" spring. That change plus the lightened striker on the way should do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpaw Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Seating primers high can definitely cause issues. Be sure primers are seated at least flush. That could be the difference for those that are having trouble with the 4.5# spring. And yeah no oil in the firing pin channel. I've been using a 4.5# with stock striker and setting off CCI and S&B primers 100%. I haven't even bothered trying the 4# with stock striker since enough people say it doesn't always work.I have the full DK Custom kit on order with lightened striker and will try the 4# with that.I used the 4# striker spring with the modified striker from the custom kit and it was a great trigger feel but the lifespan was short before I began having light strikes.

I'll probably run the 4# and see how long it lasts until I start getting light strikes; will only do that at local matches of course. Then maybe switch to the 4.5#.

warpspeed Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I've got a Glock triggers Edge and have no complaints. I only own one Glock and once I installed it, no reason to try any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
