I’ve read on a Glock forum that this is also a thing with Glock pistols. I always dry fired while target shooting as well as in my basement with a G-sight laser system. I guess I’ll have to be more careful and get some snap caps or get a few extra strikers. Or both.

The polymer80 striker has held up. Haven’t snapped it yet despite my best efforts. Hopefully PSA can fix whatever material quality issue they have. all the springs, slide, barrel trigger bar has been essentially perfect.
That’s not good to hear, I do a lot of dry fire. Currently the only striker I have ever broken is a “premium” Rival Arms striker I had in a Brownells slide. I had been carrying it for who knows how long with it snapped. Only found out when I went to shoot.
Something has to be said for the OEM Gen5 Glock strikers. 10K+ rounds, and probably just as much dry fire, it’s still going. Not a fan of how thin the Gen 1-4 tips are. And how they drag on the safety plunger.
Broke the p80 striker onto a gen 3 oem glock striker
Months later and my strikers are still going strong. Tons of dryfire, almost 1k livefire rounds on one gun about about 600-700 on the other. Thousands of dry fires. Lasting longer than the “premium” Rival Arms junk that’s for sure. Cost me 80 bucks for that thing too.
The OEM striker seems good. Only about 250 rounds and maybe 1k strikes i’ll post here if i ever break it
I purchased my Dagger S in April 23. I fired 100 rounds through it, and did some dry firing. Today the striker broke in the same location as in the pictures in this thread. There appears to be some people blaming dry firing as the cause. The Glock design REQUIRES dry firing to disassemble the pistols, so I think there is more to it.
If you submit a warranty claim on the website, a claim specialist will get you squared away.

I submitted a warranty claim and PSA sent out a new striker assembly. It took almost 2 weeks to get the striker in my hand, but there were no questions asked.

I received no response to my inquiries about my broken striker.
just buy a glock striker, and your good to go! when i bought my 1st dagger, strikers were like $12…so i bought 5 of them…since i have glocks also…found out the psa striker wont work in glocks, but glocks will work in dagger…anyways so far have broken 3 of the dagger strikers.

Can’t wait until that happens to me. I should be checking mine more after the “premium” Rival Arms striker problem I had, carrying for months without even realizing it wouldn’t fire…
But so far the Daggers have been good to me. I think there may have been a bad batch though cause normally where I see Gen3/4 type strikers break is at that weak tip, not farther back like that. I’ve dry fired mine a ton without snap caps and it’s still good to go.
I wonder what the issue is as well. I shoot mine a ton and dryfire more than I shoot. No issues and you have 3 broken strikers?
Dry firing probably has a lot to do with it but that still isn’t a good enough excuse overall. When you put your life on the line with a weapon I want to know that I can completely rely on that weapon. In LE we did a ton of dry firing as a part of our trainning and also to teach muscle memory for your proper trigger control. I love PSA a lot but this issue needs some research to find out why every break that I have seen is in the exact same place which tells me that there is a problem at that exact point on the striker. If I was PSA as part of the striker replacementpolicy the broken striker would be mailed back to PSA in a prepaid envelope so that the broken strikers could be properly analyzed. I don’t know if it is possible to increase the diameter of the weak area or go to a better quality steel just for the striker. Any weapon can break with repeated dry firing but I have a Gen 2 Glock 22 that I carried in LE over 25 years ago that has an a high nunber of rounds through it and a ton of dry firing with no breaks so far. I have had it for 30 years now and I have no problem trusting it with my life even with the high amount of use that it has seen.

I coincidentally also have 3 broken strikers that broke while dry firing and what I noticed after I got my newest replacement is that the finish is a bit different. All the old ones that broke were a greyish finish and this new one is more silvery. The new one was super gritty right out of the package like you could feel all the ring groves left from machining and it didn’t go away until after I fired about 200 rounds thru it and now the pull is super smooth. What that means for durability is yet to be seen but I hope that these new ones hold up.
