I was ready to be skeptical and ask what the real-world applicability of this was, but wow, he really did not hit it very hard at all. I can see a slammed-in reload or adrenaline-fueled failure drill causing that.
I moved from the VP9 to G17G4 because in extensive dry firing I felt the VP9's striker release was too light/feathery and this seems to back that up a bit.
I was already going to sell the gun. Glad it's not a safety concern so I don't have to feel bad about it. Thanks for the info.

Wonder if other fully cocked striker guns would experience this.
Don't they have to pass drop testing?

I agree these posts should be split from this thread. No flames taken or intended. I am just reporting my experience.
The mallet test dropped the striker on two different VP9s. I could also get it to drop hitting the grip on a wood surface. If you look at the design, it is obvious why it happens.
My concern for a police officer carrying this pistol openly in a duty rig is that it could hit the ground in a struggle, then give him a dead trigger when needed most.
