I had a G2C without the upgrades and my trigger was so gritty. It would honestly almost get hung up part way through the squeeze. I bought the G3C and put the Lakeline parts in and it was night and day difference
What is the benefit of having a steel striker guide? I just got a steel guide rod from Lakeline but what difference do these steel parts make? I got a G3C
You pull down on the firing pin tab simultaneously while pushing down on the main spring. The captive pieces for the spring will have a lot of room to fall in place.
i know the metal Striker guide makes the tiggger way nicer just be on the watch out i had one put about 2k rounds trough it chiped and the gun failed to fire the metal he is useing is not as hard as the Striker . he sent me a new one but it did not look any thing like the one i paid for it looked like it was galvanized metal not hard at all just a heads up. o and hes recoil spring at 5k rounds started to get flat spots on it
@@Leepegues if you're ever looking to spend some money I suggest a ported barrel. It's a little pricey but trust me it makes this thing a bad little motherfuker.
@@Leepegues same. I had the compensator and threaded barrel for Lakeline on mine originally and I just f****** hated it. Yeah it did its job but it added like another inch and a half to the barrel. Not very comfortable for in the waistband carry
I upgraded all three of my G series guns and ever since then each of of them keep making mis fires (duds). I contacted Lakeline for some feedback and they gave me nothing--they said the guns are dirty ; and they are not dirty these are clean. The misfires (over 10%) started as soon as I placed the parts in them....bad customer service.
I just put in the recoil spring assembly and FULL striker assembly from Lakeline and the slide is catching about 1/32in from being in full battery occasionally if I gently rack the slide. If I pull it back and just let go it goes into battery immediately. Is this normal?
UPDATE I’m using a G2C also. I put in the original striker assembly and I’m not having this issue. Any suggestions? Is this because it’s a new striker assembly and just needs broke in?
Good job sir. I was holding my breath too on those clasps.
Glad you enjoyed
And cussing under my breath

I can tell a huge difference with just dry firing it! It’s smooth all the way through the pull now!
Great to hear! I have the upgraded parts on the way
Let me know what you think when you get them on!
Replaced everything that’s able to be replaced on my G2C (besides a red dot and toro slide) and it shoots like a dream

@@Leepegues i just bought the black/stainless one because i couldn't pass up the deal, it was $219 new
@@TADDs101 heck yea! That’s the one I was getting before I saw the bronze

Woww that’s great information to know.. thanks for sharing that with me!
Awesome vid.
Should look into a stainless steel spring retainer from Lakeline and they have some better springs for the firing pin as well, cheers 🍻
Oh yea I will definitely look into that! Thanks man!

Definitely on my list, been looking at them through Lakeline

Does it matter which way the slotted part of the the stainless steel retainer clip faces???
Thanks 👍🏼
No problem 👍
Just installed mine but my slide keeps getting stuck not moving all way forward
Might have a defective one reach out to Lakeline
Manually rack the slide back and forth to break it in. Also, rack the slide open and leave it open for 24 hours, that will loosen it up

What parts did you change?
Lakeline sells a one-piece spring retendor much easier than the 2 piece
Nice, is that one of their new products?
Nice frame color is it cerakote?
It’s cerakote through PSA. They are the only site that carry this midnight Bronze online. Could be wrong though.
putting that little 2-piece retaining thing was the hardest thing for me. big hands and 30 years of heavy bag training make that really hard.
My G2C lakeline parts has caused mine to improperly feed.
So, how much difference did those 2 upgrades make in the performance ?
I would definitely say it’s a lot smoother! In my opinion!
What difference does a steel striker guide make?
Less friction on trigger pull also let gritty of a pull
How you get this color?
On the PSA palmetto state armory website from my research they are the only ones that carry that color
Where can I buy the upgrade ?
Lakeline.com

another video on how to replace the striker guide and pins, how ever no link to where you can buy it LMAO
