While using some new snap caps (KP Tactical) with the soft rubber primer, I was wondering how much cushion they actually provide. I took the slide off with the snap cap still in the chamber and pushed the striker forward while pressing the firing pin safety plunger. I found that striker tab contacts the plastic striker spacer sleeve before being cushioned by the rubber primer. When I examined how far the striker actually protrudes through the slide breech face hole, I was surprised that the pin doesn't protrude very far. So it looks like even when I use snap caps, the striker is still slamming against the spacer sleeve without any cushion since the striker does not protrude very far past the breech face of the slide. I'm wondering why I never got failures due to light strikes. If I push the striker forward more to where it moves the spacer sleeve forward then the striker protrudes more and looks more like what I would expect to see.
Just wondering if I have an out of tolerance striker or if this is something that all PPS Classic pistols exhibit. I need to get some pictures of this.
