@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.
Good job dude!

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.
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.

Hi Michael, I normally put a barrel cleaning patch on the end of a wooden Cuticle pusher to clean the inside of the slide.

@@ronmoman8825 Thanks so much for the information. Ill have to check out Lakeline. I also wanted to check out the GX4 and do a review of it. I might reach out to Taurus and see if they would send one out for review. I doubt it but its worth a try. You take care too and have a great day.

Is that striker guide plastic?

Hi Mike, yes the striker guide is made of plastic.
Does the striker free float and move back and forth sometime to the point of where some would say rattle?

I don't have the Hellcat anymore because I had to send it back to GunPrime. So I cant check for a rattle myself. When the gun is cleared and you rack the slide. Pull the trigger. If you hear the click, then most likely its functioning correctly. Do you hear the rattle when the slide it locked back?

@@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.
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?

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.

@@UBRArsenal Thanks, I shot a quick video of the rattle I'm getting (kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGxmvM9qd6vVqqQ.html). 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.

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

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.
