Or perhaps you're building a custom Glock 36 and demand superior parts from the ground up? The Strike Industries Enhanced Pin Kit (SKU 44810) is a meticulously crafted answer to these needs, providing a robust foundation for your pistol's internal mechanics. Available now at DEGuns, this kit represents a smart investment in your firearm's future.

Precision Engineering for Unwavering Reliability

At the heart of this upgrade kit lies Strike Industries' commitment to superior design and manufacturing. This isn't just a collection of replacement pins; it's a meticulously engineered system designed to optimize the performance of your Glock 36.

The kit specifically targets the critical pins within your Glock 36:

• Anti-Walk Locking Block Pin: This is a standout feature, addressing one of the most common concerns for Glock owners. Unlike standard pins, this innovative locking block pin is designed to actively engage the slide stop lever spring, mirroring how the trigger pin functions. This intelligent design creates a positive retention force that significantly helps prevent the pin from 'walking out' during recoil or heavy use. What does this mean for you? Increased operational safety, reduced wear on your frame, and consistent performance, shot after shot.
• Trigger Pin: A vital component in your Glock's firing mechanism, ensuring smooth and reliable trigger operation.
• Trigger Housing Pin: This pin secures the trigger housing within the frame, a crucial element for the entire trigger assembly's stability.

Each pin in the Strike Industries Enhanced Pin Kit is a testament to the brand's dedication to quality. The pins are not merely strengthened but also thoughtfully designed for improved serviceability and long-term function.

Superior Materials and Finishes for Enduring Performance

The choice of materials and the application of advanced finishes are paramount in firearm components, directly impacting their resilience and lifespan. Strike Industries understands this implicitly, selecting premium materials and treatments for their Enhanced Pin Kit:

• Carbon Steel with Black Nitride Finish (Trigger/Locking Block Pins): The core strength of these critical pins comes from high-strength carbon steel. Carbon steel is renowned for its excellent durability and resistance to deformation, making it ideal for components under constant stress. The black nitride finish takes this a step further. Black nitride, a thermochemical treatment, significantly enhances surface hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. This means your pins are better protected against the elements, friction from internal moving parts, and the corrosive effects of gunpowder residue and cleaning chemicals. This advanced finish ensures a sleek, low-friction surface that contributes to smoother operation and extended component life.
• Aluminum with Black Anodized Finish (Trigger Housing Pin): For the trigger housing pin, Strike Industries utilizes lightweight yet robust aluminum, treated with a black anodized finish. Anodizing is an electrochemical process that converts the metal surface into a durable, corrosion-resistant, anodic oxide finish. This process hardens the aluminum surface, making it highly resistant to scratches and wear, while the black color provides a subtle, factory-like appearance that integrates seamlessly with your Glock's aesthetic. The use of aluminum for this specific pin contributes to overall weight reduction without sacrificing strength where it's needed.

Designed for the User: Enhanced Serviceability and Customization

Beyond material strength and anti-walk capabilities, Strike Industries has considered the user experience at every stage:

• Concave Pin Ends: A seemingly small detail, but profoundly impactful for maintenance and assembly. The ends of each pin are precisely concaved. This thoughtful design provides a secure seat for a pin punch, preventing slippage during installation or removal. This not only makes the process easier and more efficient but also significantly mitigates the potential for accidental damage to your Glock's frame or the pins themselves. This feature is particularly appreciated by those who frequently disassemble their firearms for cleaning, inspection, or other modifications.
• Color-Fillable Design: For enthusiasts who appreciate personalization, the pins are designed to be color-fillable (color fill not included). This allows for an additional degree of customization, enabling you to add a unique visual accent to your Glock 36, matching other custom parts or simply expressing your individual style. This subtle yet impactful feature empowers owners to truly make their Glock their own.

Frequently Asked Questions About Glock Pin Upgrades

Q: What is "pin walkout" and why is it a problem for Glocks?
A: Pin walkout refers to the gradual shifting or working its way out of position of a pin within the firearm's frame, typically during firing due to recoil and vibration. For Glocks, the locking block pin is sometimes susceptible to this. It's a problem because pins hold critical components (like the trigger assembly or locking block) in place. If a pin walks out, it can lead to parts becoming loose, trigger malfunction, poor reliability, or even damage to the frame.

Q: How does the Strike Industries Anti-Walk Locking Block Pin prevent this?
A: The Strike Industries anti-walk locking block pin features a design that engages the slide stop lever spring, similar to how the trigger pin is retained. This engagement creates a positive friction or tension that helps secure the pin firmly in place, significantly reducing its ability to walk out under recoil or vibration.
