Fixed Light Primer Strikes!
I had a problem with light primer strikes in my G35 at matches because of the lightened 2 pound striker spring. Combined with the stock striker and my hand loads with CCI primers, I would have light strike malfunctions constantly in a gun that was supposed to go fast in USPSA Limited. After confirming with Brownells that this one is indeed the skeletonized Zev striker with the extended tip (picture differed from the one on ZEV website), I ordered it and shot a match with iit the day after I got it. I also reinstalled the 2 pound spring and did not have a single light strike on the CCI primers. It's a little pricy but worth it if you have light strikes.
Recommend this for an odd reason.
First off, I put these in all my several Glocks, along with 4-4.5lb striker springs and maritime cups without any ignition issues or breakages whatsoever, and an improved pull weight and slightly crisper pull with a tiny bit less perceived reset. The machining looks great and I have more confidence than an MIM part (OEM), and being stainless steel also gives me more confidence for corrosion resistance. I dry fire a lot, and my OEM Gen3 G19 slide cracked irreparably a few years ago, and the combination of a lower mass striker and a lighter spring is presumably is less likely to do that again (along with aluminum snap caps sold here BTW). The reason I gave less stars is that it is possible for the striker to go forward enough to cause a serious failure to feed issue, especially from a clean and lubricated locked open slide, as the extra length that allows sufficient reliable protrusion also allows enough of the tip sticking into the slide face to catch on the case rim during feeding. I use similar concept lengthened firing pins on my CZ hammer fired pistols in conjunction with lighter hammer springs quite successfully. The feed issue seems inherent to Glock and probably to many striker-fired designs, and occurs rarely in normal operation, and is relatively easy to clear, but of course any malfunction by design is always a bad thing!
