Quick Summary

Aftermarket striker and spring kits, like the Lone Wolf T Striker, can alter a Glock's trigger feel, potentially making it 'roll off the edge' rather than providing a crisp break. It's critical to test these modifications extensively, firing hundreds of rounds, to ensure reliability before carrying the firearm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What caused the need to replace the striker in the Glock 19?

The original striker tip broke off during routine shooting of carry ammunition. This incident underscores the importance of regularly cycling carry ammo and testing firearms to identify potential component failures before they become critical.

What are the potential effects of installing a Lone Wolf T Striker and aftermarket springs on a Glock?

Installing a Lone Wolf T Striker and aftermarket springs can alter the trigger's break characteristics, making it feel less crisp and more like 'rolling off the edge.' Different spring weights can also affect reliability and trigger pull.

How much testing is recommended after modifying a firearm's internal components like the striker?

It is crucial to test a firearm extensively after modifications. The presenter recommends firing at least several hundred rounds, ideally 500,000, to verify reliability and ensure the firearm functions correctly before considering it for carry.

Can lightweight striker springs cause reliability issues in a Glock?

Yes, lightweight striker springs can sometimes lead to ammunition finickiness. This means the firearm might be more sensitive to different types of ammunition, requiring thorough testing to ensure consistent feeding and firing.
