Awesome video! Great close ups and narration telling all the details as needed. What happens if you accidently get oil into the striker? I mean will it HAVE to be disassembled and cleaned?

[@UBRArsenal]

I’m glad you like the video. Yes, you would have to clean it because if you get oil in the striker, you would most likely would get malfunctions like light primer strikes. Thanks for leaving an awesome comment and I hope you subscribed. :)

[@houndawg3]

It's not so dire that the striker HAS to be removed and cleaned. The basic rule is to never lubricate the striker. Oil itself would cause no problems. The problem is that when the gun is fired, carbon can get back into the striker hole, mix with the oil, and create a sludge. Over time, sludge buildup can impede striker movement. It's not required to remove the striker every time you clean, but periodic removal, cleaning, and inspection doesn't hurt. While you have it apart, you can clean out the striker channel. A little oil that might migrate into the area when lubricating the slide won't create a life or death situation. Just don't douse the area with oil.

[@michaelgeorge542]

Would it be recommended to use pipe cleaners to clean inside the slide? being sure to keep it dry and free of oil. Since the striker and plunger are out seems like it would be the time to do it. Great explanation, I enjoyed it.

[@UBRArsenal]

Hi Michael, I normally put a barrel cleaning patch on the end of a wooden Cuticle pusher to clean the inside of the slide. I use the wooden cuticle pusher so it doesn’t scratch anything inside the slide. I would say you probably could use a pipe cleaner as long as there isn’t any exposed metal. Im glad you liked the video. Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment. Have a great weekend.

[@GoldenClays1]

Really good video. Appreciate your knowledge. Details were great, but why would you ever have to take your gun down to this level unless something breaks? Seems to me that normal breakdown and cleaning is more than enough to keep these guns in tip-top shape.and you may be asking for trouble by taking them apart. I have many semi-autos and they are still working fine after years of use.

[@UBRArsenal]

Hi WC, some people like to do this every once in a blue moon with the gun they EDC. This way they know they won't have any light primer strikes when they need to use it. For the most part the only time you would need to do this is if you accidentally got oil in the striker assembly or something broke. Thanks for watching and leaving a nice comment. Have a great day!

[@j303ti]

@UBR Tech I really wish I knew the answer to that. I guess I had a heightened sense of awareness after doing this as I don't know if it did or didn't rattle when it was new. It runs great at the range, so I'm happy. Was considering getting an upgraded striker assembly for it. Thoughts on those?

[@johnhenry8124]

Hey Joe, did you notice any difference when the gun is “cocked” (ready to fire) compared to when the hammer is down (or fallen) ? The rattling should be significantly less, or maybe even gone, when it’s cocked. And don’t worry…it is completely normal to hear rattling. In fact, I would be concerned if there was no rattle, as that would be a sign of debris in the firing pin channel.

[@loganyates4269]

My striker moves one placed back in. It rattles. Even before I took it out to look. Thats why I watched this video. But it still does it. I know the plunger stops it for going anywhere but id still like to know if its supposed to or not

[@UBRArsenal]

Hi Logan, do you mean, you can hear the striker moving when you shake the pistol? Also, are you just shaking the slide with no barrel and recoil spring or is the pistol fully assembled? If your shaking the pistol fully assembled, try to shake just the slide with no barrel and recoil spring and see if you still hear it. Talk to you soon.

@@willg6997 did you find out about this? My rattles as well

[@willg6997]

@@drew.851 yeah it has a free floating firing pin so it's normal to hear the rattle. If you lock the slide back, you can see it moving or you can move it with your finger.

Where do you get that tapered plastic punch ?

[@UBRArsenal]

I couldn’t find the one I have. They might not make this one anymore. The link below is the closest one I could find. amzn.to/4b5wZdT

[@PaulProchko]

@@UBRArsenal I appreciate you checking. I couldn't find anything like that either. It's a good idea though...handy.

Is that striker guide plastic?

[@UBRArsenal]

Hi Mike, yes the striker guide is made of plastic.

[@jesuschristfullygodfullyma613]

Is firing pin supposed to stick out of the hole inside?

[@UBRArsenal]

I don’t think the firing pin should stick out. Do you hear the firing pin click when you dry fire the pistol?

How often does this need done?

[@UBRArsenal]

Hey Robert, you don’t need to do this often. You can do it at some point when you shoot 1k to 1.5k rounds. The only other time you may need to do this is if you start to get light primer strikes. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Have a great day.

I just received my brand new Hellcat yesterday and haven't put a round through it yet. I noticed a rattle sound coming from the striker, more pronounced after the gun has been decocked (dry fired) but still there slightly even when cocked. It seems like the striker isn't under constant spring pressure, any thoughts on what could be causing this? Does anybody else have a rattly striker?

[@UBRArsenal]

Hi Jack, I just checked the Hellcat RDP I have here and it doesn't rattle at all. If it were me, I would remove the slide from the grip and shake just the slide to make sure its definitely coming from the slide. After you have confirmed the rattle is coming from the slide and you feel confident enough to disassemble the slide. You could disassemble the slide and make sure everything looks good with the striker assembly. If you dont feel confident with the disassembly just give Springfield a call and see what they say. Either way, let me know how you make out.

[@jackfrederick3663]

@@UBRArsenal Thanks, I shot a quick video of the rattle I'm getting (kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGmVi6BnfK2isKM). I didn't shake the grip itself in the video, but I did later and the rattle definitely seems to be coming from the slide assembly- specifically the striker/firing-pin assembly. Next step will be to try to take apart the slide, following the steps outlined in your video.

[@UBRArsenal]

@@jackfrederick3663 Let me know what you find after you disassembled the slide. Thanks Jack.

[@oscargalvanjr.8867]

I accidentally let the extractor spring plate go when I was switching out the backplate and it went flying somewhere in my kitchen and now it seems to be lost. Lol idk what to do now. I hit up Springfield but they haven’t got back to me. Lol

[@UBRArsenal]

It happens to all of us. I guess this will be a good test to see how Springfield’s customer service is. Worst case you can just buy an aftermarket one. Let me know how you make out.

Keep pounding SA.... Or look for aftermarket.... 😁
