G19 graduated to a G34, Striker question

[SweetToof]

So after shooting competitively for just over a year with a G19 and actually winning some local Steel Challenge and non-sanctioned speed shooting matches I finally got a proper competition gun and got a Gen 3 G34. I shot OK at my first match with it but I ended up shooting my fastest Steel Challenge production time ever, and set 3 new classifier times. I honestly feel a little dumb for not having bought one of these sooner. Feels just like my 19 but better in every way, it's a real Excalibur for me, I feel like mf-ing John WIck haha

 

Installed a;

 

tungsten guide rod 

13 lb recoil spring

zev pro drop in trigger

zev skeletonized striker

Frank Proctor Y notch sights

DIY soldering iron stipple job

TTI +5 base pad mag extensions

 

Shot really well for about 600 rounds until I got to a SC match this weekend and had 2 consecutive double taps with one trigger pull. I had heard about this issue with the Zev strikers going full auto, getting double taps, not resetting, etc. so I wasn't super surprised when it happened. Changed out the striker for a stock one and it shot fine, no light strikes but the trigger doesn't feel quite as crisp. 

 

Question is what striker do you guys like? Or do I mess with the trigger assembly to bend it in a way that catches the striker better?

i tried a couple of others, they either broke or made trigger pull worse.  Don’t get the Tin, get the stainless steel one.

did you actually notice a difference from the stock striker?

thanks those sure look like high quality pieces. Zev had some minor finish inconsistencies on it as well.

I certainly did notice the feeling of the trigger to have a more crisp break with the Zev and more of a squishy break when I put the stock striker back in with all the other components stying the same. 

 

As far as primer detonation, even with a lightened striker spring and a stock heavy striker, there were no light strikes. However I was using my "match primers" Federal Small Pistol Primers. They seem to need less impact to detonate them, I have had issues with CCI's detonating when using a light spring with a stock striker.
