Mine has about 1500 rounds through it without a hiccup.  That said, it has a couple of mods that made it better.

1, I made a recoil spring out of a Kahr PM9 spring assy that I use for range use and I use the factory spring for carry.  My spring setup is heavier to cock but keeps the flip down.  I feel that the factory spring should be changed out at 500 rounds or maybe more if you use +P or higher powered ammo.   My range loads are 125gn LRN with 4 gns of WW231 which does not beat up the gun.

2. I polished up the sear and striker surfaces and the plastic on the striker.  I also changed the striker block spring to a lighter one.  These mods take away the roughness in the last part of the trigger pull.  You still have the creep, as this gun is not precocked, but it is much smoother and lighter.  The factory striker spring noticeably stacks so changing that made a much better feel.

I once had an issue with my Glock 42. I swapped out the factory striker spring for a lighter aftermarket one. Made the trigger pull lighter, actually too light because I was getting misfires so I put the original one back in

I don't recommend changing striker springs for that exact reason.

Good point.  I'll give that a shot and see if it's any help.

Sorry to hear about your recent troubles.  I've had a great deal of trouble posting here lately, so we'll see if this one works.
