P320 Testing - Striker Safety Lock Spring

As we continue testing related to P320 uncommanded discharge claims, this video covers the striker lock and the striker safety lock spring.

Could the spring become dislodged or installed incorrectly in such a way that causes the striker lock to fail or be disabled? Would this result in the pistol firing if the striker lock were able to depart the sear?

After measuring all parts, including the generational changes, we determined that the striker lock spring cannot get between the striker housing and the striker lock and disable it.

We could not find a way to assemble it with the spring out of place, and once in place, there was no place for it to go.

If you test the P320 with holes in the slide to visualize and inspect the spring while it is in place, the spring becomes unsupported. If that is the case, the spring can certainly get out of position.
