I recently broke an aftermarket striker after 18 months and 25K rounds. Does anyone know what the life expectancy is of the factory striker?
Thanks,
Mike

I've had a few wear down short enough to cause light strikes at between 20-25k
What make was the aftermarket striker?
Welcome to Africa, bring a hardhat.
I'll echo what's already been posted; the predictability of a failure is pretty willy-nilly due to the tolerances of the design. I did armorer duties on a couple of hundred various Glocks and it was not an issue, generally speaking.
If I were going to address it through PM, I'd probably replace it at 20k, but that's a totally subjective assessment.
The only thing worse than arrogance is false humility.
Just to add...
You cannot go wrong with preventative maintenance of a Glock. If you want to replace some parts with brand new OEM parts, by all means go for it, you aren't going to hinder the gun in any way.
It was a ZEV V4. The tip broke or eroded off and caused light strikes. I'm trying to decide whether I should buy a replacement or run the stock striker.
Drop in an OEM striker unit and you should have no further problems.
Fred,
That's what I am thinking...I switched to the OEM and did not notice an effect on my trigger.
ZEV has offered me 50% off a replacement...still not sure its worth it if the stock striker works and will last just as long or longer.
