Glock Titanium Striker

[platoonDaddy]

Today I received the "Glock Titanium Striker" (Item #LS002S) from the GlockStore and installed into my Gen 4 G17. Just dry firing, I am not impressed with the trigger pull, just doesn't feel right. Of course I don't know what I was expecting, just hoping for a faster lock time.

Will hit the range tomorrow or Friday and test it out live. Assume that is the only way to test "lock time". Just don't like the feel.

Will shortly post my testing results, was wonder if any of you have any experience with the "Titanium Striker" from GlockStore?


Thanks

what is "lock time?" the time between pulling the trigger and the striker hitting the primer?

i can't really think of any benefits to having a titanium striker, other than durability, but if strikers are breaking, there are other problems.

I have to ask....

Why?

Ti striker: NOT more durable, but in fact more brittle.

Why?

The $10 million question.

I know when trying to "make weight" for USPSA production class guys will change out all of the small parts for Ti to help offset the sights, grip tape, recoil rod, ect.
I know some have been tricked into believing "faster lock time" or other such nonsense , and they claim the Ti plunger is lighter so that lightens the pull up when your on the hunt for the 1lb GLOCK trigger it all adds up.

Not $10 million, but $94.99

Lighter means faster strike, resulting in a faster shot and accuracy. At least that is the theory, therefore thought I would test.

snake oil, IMHO.

Its also lighter meaning the chances of a light primer strike are higher.

These batter rather quickly and tend to get spots that peen badly.

My advice is to go back to the factory striker immediately.

As has been said, Ti Glock strikers are snake oil.

The faster lock time would help in bench-rest rifles and in shooting at long range but at handgun ranges any increase in accuracy would be negligable (likely, not even detectable) even for the best pistol shooters.
