Same price as you can buy a new MIM part maybe less if they are used.

There was a police department, in Florida i think, that had a problem with broken firing pins and pulled the guns out of service.

Other than Glock, who makes the best non-MIM Glock strikers?

Lone Wolf steel striker, that's what is in my newer Glocks.

I just broke the tip off the replacement striker in the same glock 17 from my post above. This striker had about 1,000 rounds through it. Ugh! Gun is all stock. I don't get it.

If it were that big of an issue I think that the Glock page would be loaded with nothing but failures of this type. I have been shooting Glocks since 1989 and never had any breakage of any part yet. |

Does Glock make a non MIM striker to be purchased separately?
If not, who is considered the best manufacture? Mine are all Gen 4's (19, 26, 21) |

Wish Apex would build one. Anything Lone Wolf is questionable to me.

I bought a tool steel firing pin from ZEV last week. Looks well made, whatever that's worth. some of the others I looked at had holes drilled in them to make them lighter. The ZEV has some scallops, not holes, leaving the cross section thicker. I liked that.

I dry fire my 19 a whole lot more than my 17 and have yet to break a striker. My duty 21 is 18 years old and I couldn't even guess how much dry firing I've done with that. Since this is the second one in the 17 I'm wondering if there is something wrong with the gun. I have no idea what it could be because it was fine for the first 5 or so years.

I've owned at least a dozen Glocks since they went MIM and have never broken a firing pin. I shoot at least 10,000 rounds per year and dry fire a lot. |
