    If someone snaps the striker while the slide is off the frame.

    My experience when I had free ammo is most folks can't afford to break a Glock. I've broken two parts on the same gun, Gen 3 G17. Trigger spring-one thing I found is that the trigger will reset if you are aggressive on the reset, meaning running the gun like a rented mule. Locking block pin, removed the remaining half and slide stop and shot it a few more days. The spring was around 40k and the pin, around 75k. I had a gen 4 19 that had over 50k, no breakage. I would run each for at least a week before cleaning but would always hit the connector with a drop. Used grease on the slide/barrel, even in the winter which was as low as 10-15 outside

    Having said that I have every part but the barrel to replace on gen 3/4 17/19/26 and a Gen 5 19, even locking blocks

    RSA and springs in my opinion. I heard the Gen 5 slide lock spring is a good one to have, along with the trigger housing...

    I broke a FP on my Gen 3 19 earlier his year on the range. I shudder to think of that in a SD situation.
    Ive got an extra one now. $36 part from MIDWEST.

    How does that damage the channel liner?

    Not 100% sure, I only know as I did this on my very first Glock and the Glock Armorer told me not to snap it when apart. How it doesn't occur when dry firing-?

    Forgive me, but you are certain it was not the firing pin sleeve that was damaged? This part?

    Every other reference to channel liner replacement I can find involves slide refinishing or aftermarket slides. With 17K listing this as one of "the most replaced parts" I have to at least wonder if we are actually talking about the same thing.
