Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of the L2D Combat fluted striker for Glocks?

The L2D Combat fluted striker features a titanium nitride coating to reduce friction and spiral fluting. This fluting helps reduce weight without sacrificing strength, aids in debris expulsion, and further minimizes friction, potentially improving lock-up time.

How does the L2D Combat striker compare in weight to a factory Glock striker?

In testing, the L2D Combat fluted striker weighed 0.2515 ounces, while the factory Glock striker weighed 0.2635 ounces. This demonstrates a measurable weight reduction with the aftermarket part.

What is lock-up time in a firearm and how can a striker affect it?

Lock-up time is the duration between when the sear is tripped and when the round is fired. A lighter striker, like the L2D Combat fluted version, can potentially reduce this time because it requires less force and time to accelerate.
