I'm having light strikes on my G21 and it's making me crazy!
Started having problems with it and called Lone Wolf and they told me to replace the striker and spring. Well I did that still and I am still having problems. I've tried different ammo to no avail, any thing else I need to try short of sending it back to Glock?
Thanks

Use stock parts only in your glock.  I personally do not recommend using wolf or any other steel case ammo in pistols.

What ammo have you tried?

What modification does the gun have?

You may want to call Glock and ask that they send a new updated trigger bar.  This is a fix for light primer strikes that some police departments have been experiencing.

I never use stell case ammo, I have tried Win, Fed, CCI, reloads.
I"ll check out the trigger bar, never thought about that one.

I do have a KKM match barrel in it, I wonder if it would have an effect?

If you are a certified armorer or know one. Call(or have them call) Glock and ask for the upgraded G20/21 trigger w/trigger bar(they should send you one free). They made the cruciform slightly longer to pull the firing pin back farther to eliminate the light strike issue.

I would switch everything back to stock and see if you can repeat it.
I never had any dude with my G21 with wwb, remington, even wolf ammo.

Get rid of whatever NON glock parts you have in you G21 and install the
Original Glock parts......That will take care of your issues....
If not...Something more is going on and Glock will fix it as long as it is OEM parts
that are the issue....
As for WOLF ammo???
This is a Horse beating issue....But from my personal experiance....
I do not hesitate to shoot it in my G21....
Always works never had any issues with it and shoot it regularly for paper punching..
My 21 has over 60,000 rounds thru it.....And I found out the hard way...
Glock OEM parts work and aftermarket parts DON'T......

ONCE AGAIN....REMOVE ALL INTERNAL AFTERMARKET PARTS FROM YOUR GLOCK

Glock strikes again, who cares if civilians get guns that don't work. Only the police need guns where the frame rails don't break off and the striker hits hard enough to fire the round.


Anyway send the damn thing back to Glock. If it's not shooting Wolf it's messed up. I have fired mountains of wolf through my 21.

Just for shits and giggles.  Do you know how to detail strip your slide?  You may simply need to clean out your firing pin channel.  Especially if you ever put, or let oil get into it.  Your firing pin channel should be completely free of lubricant, none, zero, zip.

Also, are your light primer strikes pretty far off center?  If your light primer strikes are not somewhat centered, the new updated trigger bar is not going to solve your problem.  In that case, you simply have a failure to return to battery problem.  That could be caused by the aftermarket barrel, a weak recoil spring, or an extended slide lock.  The slide lock is the lever that you use to field strip your gun, not the one that locks the slide back.  That is the slide stop lever.

is there new updated trigger bar? what does it look like?
10/3/2006 10:12:02 AM EDT

The new trigger bar is a bit longer at the cruciform at the rear, and the firing pin safety depressor is taller.  The old part number is 4256, the new ones, there are two of them, are 4256-1 and 4256-1+.

Yep, I have detailed stripped the slide to make sure is clean. I am really wondering about the aftermarket barrel is not the problem. I will stick the stock barrel in and give it a try.
