The striker on my 23 has won out.  At the range I started getting light primer hits.  I also have a 27.  All the rounds went off in the 27.  When I got home I measured the strikers and the 23 striker is 4-5 thousand shorter than the 27s. It is also round off.  I call Glock and they said a Glock armorer could get one sent to them, or I could send it in, but pay the shipping.

Does anyone have any experience with aftermarket strikers (Lone Wolf , Johnny Glock etc.)? It seems all the 9/40s use the same striker.
Thanks for any help.

Technically the 23 and 19 strikers are different.  But you can use a 19 in a 23.

a 23 in a 19 requires some "fitting"

Midway has OEM 23 strikers for $30

Damn good pricing since most places charge around $50 for OEM Gen3 strikers.

Thank you for the information.  I would rather stay with factory parts anyhow.  Guess I just started think the cheap way out.  I could just send it in but I have already replaced all the springs not to long ago.  Thanks again.

You are better off sticking with an OEM Glock firing pin. There was issues about 3-4 years ago with Lone Wolf firing pins breaking. This was mostly with their G21 firing pins but it effected their other firing pins too.

Thank you everyone.  I have decided just to return it to Glock.  An FFL I know will ship it for me for 25.00.  I figure let them give it the once over. Once again Thank you everyone.
