Sorry if this is posted somewhere but I looked and couldn't find it. How do you remove the striker assembly in a P99c to clean? Thanks.
Be patient. There will be plenty of other opportunities to flame me.DANG! I wanted to flame somebody for not searching and reading stickys!
BTW, its also in the manual, but I only read the manual as a last resort.
Thank you. Next time I will endeavor to be clearer.you can easily remove the striker with a chisel and hammer.
you didn't say remove it correctly or you wanted to put it back so I just gave you the easy way to remove it.
i was just kidding. i myself am curious how difficult it would be to take out the striker, actually it is in the instructions but it also states you normally don't need to take it out unless detail cleaning, and i hate to put an idiot mark on it for no reason.Thank you. Next time I will endeavor to be clearer.
I was beyond kidding in my reply.i was just kidding. i myself am curious how difficult it would be to take out the striker, actually it is in the instructions but it also states you normally don't need to take it out unless detail cleaning, and i hate to put an idiot mark on it for no reason.
hah! i have the butter knife and downey paper towels.I was beyond kidding in my reply.
Yeah, I read the same thing. I only thought since I have experienced the occasional light strike with my new P99c in 9mm, I might want to clean the striker but I too am concerned about leaving an idiot mark. Been there, done that. As I am fond of telling folks, my tool box at home consists of a butter knife and the Yellow Pages. If I can't fit it with the butter knife, I grab the Yellow Pages.
Faulty striker can't make the gun blow up - Only a squib or an overcharge.
As for taking the striker out - JEnglish states that he does it everytime he cleans the gun - It really isn't necssary to do that every time. I checked mine at 1500 rounds, and it was not dirty at all.
