Lenny, just want to say your tendency to explain things in great detail is actually VERY helpful to people who are new / still learning. You give supplemental info that helps people learn how their weapons function. I’ve learned a lot watching your videos, and bookmark a ton of them to rewatch while I’m tinkering with my Glocks for the first time. Thanks! Cheers.
I put a lighter striker spring in my G17, that i compete with, and began to have a ton of light primer strikes. I couldnt find many reviews on this striker and whether or not it even works. I went ahead and ordered it in hopes it would solve my problem, but i wasnt sure at all that it would. Several months later and a few USPSA matches and im here to say this ABSOLUTELY WORKS! I have gone through nearly 1500 rounds with ZERO light primer strikes. Great product and well worth the money. I hope this helps anyone with the same issue, because i couldnt find any reviews to aid my decision.
What pound lighter striker spring do you use? 4lb? 4.5lb? 2lb? I'm looking at getting one of these but I have the same skepticism about getting light primer strikes in my G34. Thanks
Replace the plastic channel liner with brass channel liner you will immediately feel the smoothness of the striker in action and also the striker will hit harder too because of less friction and the perfect dimension and roundness of the brass channel liner. The brass channel liner is installed and removed without using any tool it slides right in and out. I have the brass striker in my G34 and G26 and I couldn't be happier.
I'm learning so much about Glock`s from your vids Lenny, so thank you. Unfortunately, I will never have one as I'm from the UK...Still love your teachings.
I will say I know this video is old but I just did the pyramid trigger kit for gen 3 Gloc 19 that comes with the skeletonized striker and I will tell you my Gloc has never been better that that kit and with over 1000 rounds on it and zero fails!!! Best upgrade for a Gloc
@@5jjt you’d be surprised with the attachments I have for my taticool ak. Magpul with rails. I also have one classic with rosewood. Just because they are sexier in my opinion.
My skeletonized striker pin broke almost immediately within the first 50 rnds and i contacted customer service and I was ghosted so yeah great customer service!!..
"Treat" every firearm as if it was loaded "Never" point a firearm at anything you do not wish to kill or destroy "Keep" you finger of the trigger until your ready to fire "Be" sure of your target and what's beyond it. "Know" the condition of your firearm at ALL Times!!
I really do thank you for the video knowledge I did not know I could take my Stryker pinout without breaking the gun all the way down and reloading the spring trick because I love cleaning my guns as well and I am looking forward into ordering the gold Striker because I am a Pittsburgh Steelers fan as well as double 007 fan one shot kill golden gun in my case Golden Striker lol and again thank you for all your videos they are very helpful thank you
I just bought a 43x and only put maybe 130 rounds through it and have had maybe 5 misfires. I know it can happen with it so the first thought I had was its time to replace the firing pin for this one.
There is nothing wrong with the factory striker. You could give it a mirror polishing yourself and that helps lighten it up a bit. I polished the striker and trigger bar on my Glock 22, and it shoots great. I've put nearly 2000 rounds through it in the 12 years I have owned it. Other than the fiber-optic sights and Lone Wolf barrel, everything is stock and it works great. Costs a hell of a lot less than spending upwards of $100 on a new striker. If you are spending hundreds of dollars on strikers, fancy trigger bars, new connectors, titanium this and that just to make your Glock "better"; then the problem likely isn't your Glock, its you.
WARNING: READ THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION and I quote, "Our high performance Skeletonized Strikers are polished 17-4 steel coated in Titanium Nitride..." THAT BEING SAID, THESE STRIKERS ARE NOT TITANIUM
@@skylinefootball part failed after 50-100 rounds just saying also, my comments keep getting deleted real professional just turn off comments of you’re going to cherry pick
Call me a stickler for complicating things, but I’ve always been under the impression the correct name for it is FIRING PIN STRIKER since it’s a Firing Pin which Strikes the primer, hence term light strikes?
cant say i had a great experience with titanium skeletonized strikers- they dont hold up well and had 2 break on me from dry firing. just get an oem one it'll last longer.
Any physics behind this? Has it been really tested that the skeletonized striker moves faster than the one with a bit of mass. Or it depends on spring? Mechanism. Just want to know. Not insinuating anything. I actually considering buying one.
in my glock 44 i was told I should replace that spacer sleeve with a metal one. should I do that for my glock 34? I think the 44 has a much smaller striker and it dents into the plastic.
Been calling the store no answer for last 30days. With the extended tip in a Glock 29 10mm can I use a 2lb spring and not worry about light strikes since the tips extended? Or what’s the lowest weight spring I can get away with on the glock29 10mm
What spring would you recommend in conjunction with it would you recommend for shooting +P Duty Ammo? How Light from stock would you recommend before you start seeing mishaps like squibs, double feeds, & stove pipes? Also I’m running an Apex Arms trigger.
Does anybody make metal spring cups instead of the plastic ones? If they were metal you could temporally magnetize them to stick to the striker making it easier to reassemble.
I have a gen 3 glock 21 sf with the dpm recoil system. I'm thinking about adding a 6 lbs or 6.5 lbs striker spring on my factory striker pin...is this a bad idea?
It's easier to wear down a spring that's to strong than it is to buy Two springs when you end up using only one. , ,. Gen 3 take mods well , u may just got to run with it to ease the parts together may take time but it's crazy enough it might just work 🦈🌊
Just bought a striker and debating whether to try the self-install. I've dropped in a slide stop and some minor things but if any has tried this is it a DIY project?
I have the same problem with my 43x and it’s all factory parts, I just don’t know what’s the problem, that’s why I’m thinking of buying this striker hopefully it will fix the problem
Agreed. See my comment above. All I have changed in my Glock 22 is I replaced the factory sights with fiber-optic sights and put in a Lone Wolf barrel. I dinged up my barrel really bad several years ago and the only barrel they had available at the gun show was the Lone Wolf barrels. Works great. These "upgrades" do have a purpose if you're building a showpiece that you're not going to shoot often. Gaston Glock designed the Glock pistol as is for a reason. Magill could sell glasses to a blind man.
It’s a part that costs at least 5 to 10 times more for a few milliseconds of time saved. It’s by no means necessary, but if you want some crazy comp gun, this just might help.
