Tool Steel Striker For P365 Coming Soon
Lightening Strikes in Lawrenceville, Georgia has decided to make a tool steel striker for the Sig P365. Their website is LSPI.com and they currently make tool steel and titanium striker for most Glock models. Should be available in 4-6 weeks.

Well, the market is certainly ripe for it, isn't it?

Those guys are right up the street from me, less than five minutes drive time. cremaley, I guess you frequent Bullseye, too?

My only concern would be a tool steel striker and a MIM sear/striker release. Would one chew up the other. Just curious.

I asked this on another thread and never got a response, but wouldn't a machined steel firing pin be heavier than a MIM part?

And if so, couldn't there be safety issues from this if you dropped in an after-market part? Wasn't firing pin inertia when dropped at certain angles part of the "safety problem" on the P320 and wasn't that why SIG skeletonized the firing pin as part of their re-working of that model?

In my opinion, this is a brute-force method to fix the issue which may cause a separate set of issues.

It appears that the consensus is that the striker failure problem is caused by mistiming of the striker retraction to the case ejection. The lateral load - evidenced by a primer swipe- causes the eventual striker failure on a small percentage of these pistols.

If that's an accurate assessment, then SIG must fix the timing problem to truly solve the issue.

Consensus? Not sure about that.
