Changing P10c striker
« on: February 16, 2018, 01:27:29 PM »
I notice a lot of people are switching to the CGW striker. Are you doing this because you just like to tinker/modify/upgrade or do you actually feel uncomfortable using the P10 for defense with the factory striker?

I changed mine because the factory striker tip broke off after shooting only 200 rounds. While CZ Warranty Service did mail me a replacement striker I felt more confident in the one made by Cajun Gun Works because it is tool steel and not MIM.
It could have simply been a bad batch of factory strikers but since I carry my P-10 every day I feel more confident with a tool steel striker instead of the factory MIM.

Well over 2000 rnds and It's been my daily carry since my first range trip. I honestly don't have any specific reason for the swap. The pics below of the original striker shows some wear but I don't see anything wrong with it. It looks like it has a flat spot but it doesn't.

Schmeky says the OEM striker is responsible for much of the grittiness in the OEM trigger pull. Reason enough for me.

The tip of my striker broke as well.  cz replaced it, but i feel more comfortable with the cgw striker.  If i'm not mistaken, the OEM is MIM part, and i personally don't like that.

You are absolutely correct. The stock striker is a MIM part and I don't like that either.

I guess I will get one for the trigger improvement and keep the OEM for a spare. Gotta order some other spare springs and pins from them anyway. Plus the peace of mind that was mentioned.

You won't be sorry. Every time I shot my P-10 with the factory striker I was concerned about the trip breaking off again. Now that I changed to the CGW striker it never enters my mind.

Does the CGW striker change the feel of the trigger pull at all?

Initially, I thought my trigger felt heavier after swapping to the CGW striker, but I think it was all in my head.  With the new striker I'm getting a pull of about 4 lbs 10 oz with my lyman trigger pull gauge.    If I could remember where I put my OEM striker I would compare, but I can't find it.

I agree with the opinion that the striker has a lot to do with the grittiness of the trigger pull. I lightly polished mine by hand using simichrome polish and it actually felt noticeable. I don't know if this grittiness is because of friction from the spring rubbing the striker or other surface. I'm not sure how the finish is on the CGW striker, but I would guess if it's not polished it would to some degree effect the feel.
