Probably. There have been discussions about them before. However, for my own use, meaning for the sake of 'my life may depend on it' reliability, I rather like the way the OEM nylon sleeves can have increased lubricity with the nylon FP spring cups, and may be more tolerant of any contamination that may find its way into the FP channel.
 
total hip replacement materials commonly use a ceramic ball with an HDPE plastic cup as the bearing material. I'd think if that's current tech for a hip that is installed for the rest of your life, then just maybe that plastic channel liner may be appropriate as a bearing material for a striker?

Actually, yes there is a steel spacer. If there is money to be made off people who can be conned into thinking their perfectly good Glock parts are junk or substandard, the aftermarket offers a range of silly steel parts to replace those junky plastic parts nobody ever has any problems with. :rolleyes:

I just did a quick search and, you’re right, I came across this part: NDZ Glock GEN 1-5 Competition Stainless Steel Channel Liner Sleeve

I never would have thought there would be enough demand to incentivize someone to manufacture such a part. Crazy.

I'd seen it before somewhere. I couldn't remember where, but there's a whole range of these silly parts offered in steel, including steel spring cups.

A completely useless worthless modification that does nothing other than lighten a fat wallet. Well, nothing outside of shred any plastic parts they touch.

NDZ is magic, but you will need a stainless steel firing pin spring and stainless steel spring cups.

  • Quick and easy drop-in installation and removal, NO tools required.
  • Helps the trigger feel more smooth during operation and reduces trigger pull weight by 1-4 ounces.
  • Improves firing pin speed by 25 to 30%.
  • Helps eliminate light primer strikes - reduces unwanted friction by up to 47%.
  • Big benefits when using in conjunction with a reduced power firing pin spring.
  • Our liners are made from solid stainless steel and will never rust or corrode. (Uh, plastic will never corrode either.....)
The Gold ones are out of stock, but you can't see them anyway

This is even more impressive

Bench testing has revealed the following: The breakaway force for the Glock oem stock firing pin assembly within the oem plastic sleeve averages around 69.3 grams, with the same Glock oem firing pin assy and using only a NDZ SST Sleeve we saw that number come down and remain very consistent. The results yielded an average breakaway force of 42.5 grams.

Uh, except force is measured in Newtons. What they should be looking at is static friction.

You are not going to make the Glock any better.

"Galling" (otherwise know as cold welding - or making paperweights) is term that best describes when it's sometimes better to just use what's proven and researched, and where polymers can outperform metals.


You may want to look up the word "Tribology" while your net surfing, and it does not involve sexual acts (as far as I know).
