Chillywig Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I just did an extensive dry fire session where I dropped the striker on an empty chamber to get a time to first shot on commander timer. Any one experience part breakages by excessive dry fire on a Q5SF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatdoc173 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I wanted to break in the trigger on mine as it seemed a bit gritty. Thousands of dry fire shots with a laser cartridge used--zero issues and the trigger did smooth out a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohsevenflhx Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I have broke the tip off of my striker with extensive dry fire. I have read other people have had the same thing happen also. I have also had several "experts" tell me no way does it hurt the striker, well it costs around 100$ and 2 week wait to fix this non problem.

Chillywig Posted August 31, 2022 Author Share Posted August 31, 2022 I broke one on a M&P 9 years ago. Same thing. Bunch of dry fire then went to range for live fire. Pointed the gun at target and click, racked round click, racked round click. I bet I went through the whole mag before I believed it. Getting a striker back then from smith was difficult to say the least. They said they don't break, unless you have a modded trigger like an apex, which I did, and dry fired, which I did.

stock Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I broke two of them . I would switch out the broken one when dryfireing. Can't break what's already broken lol. Just remember to put in a good one before going to a match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember to put in a good one before going to a match How many rounds did you have when you broke the first one? How often and how much do you dryfire?

stock Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I'm guessing 15-20,000 and a lot of dryfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennD Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Thanks. I was over 25K on my original SF and approaching 4K rounds on my current. *Knocks on wood* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_Chimpo Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) Why not just drop a snap cap with a cushion where the pin hits it? When I shot a lot of striker pistols (P-10F) I dry fired the crap out of two of them and never broke a striker. And the P-10 striker will eventually break from DF if it isn't cushioned.
