Replacement Striker for SD9VE

[ou1954]

Microstamping status

I wonder if some of the new microstamping laws are the reason behind this? Maybe S&W is worried that somebody wants a non-microstamped striker to replace the one they have, assuming they're even doing that on CA guns.

That's a good possibility, however I think that the law hasn't become effective yet, probably pending the successful demonstration of the process by, I think, two or more manufacturers.

I also believe, based on checking I did a while back, that there is also a patent issue in the approval of the process.

It's a terrible law because anyone who cares can just file the tip of the firing pin a tiny bit and make it un-traceable. Or, just drive across the border and pick up a non-CA gun.

Maybe someone has been following this, I haven't checked lately.

The microstamping law went into effect in 2007 and cleared all the technology patents in may 2013, requiring all new firearms to equip the microstamping feature in order to be added to the CA safe gun roster. The SDVE was added to the roster prior to that (2012 I believe).

There isn't a single gun with that technology. It's really a stupid idea. But it did exactly what it was designed to do. And that is to take away as many handguns from the California market year by year.

A quick search using the terms Microstamping and California brings up around 10,000 items. I didn't read them all.

Don't mean to hijack, but does anyone know if the SD9VE striker will fit the SW9VE?

I have seen several posts about broken strikers but nothing about being able to buy a replacement. I have three questions:

1) Are strikers only available by sending the gun into the factory?
2) Will S&W remove the Apex springs & trigger I installed if I send
it in? ( I'm more concerned about the trigger)
3) What do they charge to replace a striker?

Any info is appreciated!

One thing you can do is buy almost every part of an SD from a gun destroyer.
These guys get guns from crime scenes and destroy the frames and sell all the other parts as kits.
Barrels, recoil springs, extractors, slides etc.

I bought one of these kits for my SD40 and now have all the replacement parts for it except the polymer frame.
I paid 52 bucks for all the parts......including the striker.

Check out the Gunbusters website. I got mine off Gunbroker.

Hate to say this , but this is one of the reasons I like the Kahr. Kahr will sell you any part on the gun no restrictions except the serial numbered frame.

Kel-Tec is also very good about parts sales.
