P320 - STRIKER SAFETY DISENGAGEMENT PARAMETERS

In this video I explore what it takes to disengage the striker safety on the P320 pistol under normal operating conditions. I will provide viewers with an in-depth look at how the striker safety works and use precision instruments to take measurement of when the striker safety disengages. I then look at how the strikers safety is affected by trigger travel to see how much an operator needs to pull the trigger for various stages of the guns operation to take place. Enjoy!
