I wish Glock told folks to clean out the striker channels every once in a while. I experienced light strike problems with my 33 (the .357 Sig blows a lot of primer sealant backwards, and some of it gets up into the channel).
I would agree that this is a weak point of the Glocks, as long as the factory literature doesn't make it clear that the channels should be periodically cleaned. I suppose their concern is that a lot of yahoos would be leaving oil up there (which would be of no help whatsoever). Also, the Glocks' larger rectangular striker (and its larger, rectangular striker hole in the breech face) probably provide a more receptive sanctuary for crud than is commonly found on pistols using smaller, round firing pins.
Still, since the striker-fired system doesn't rely on the mass of a hammer WHACKING the firing pin forward (but rather on the kinetic energy derived from the speed of the falling striker), the striker-fired system is more susceptible to crud-in-the-channel problems than a regular hammer-fired system would be. If the user is not notified that there is a potential crud build-up problem that needs to be periodically rectified (as we Glock users are not - at least in the factory literature that comes with the gun), a Glock user who shoots a lot may eventually find himself (hopefully at the range, and not when he needs the gun) getting light strikes.
Since this is not a problem with hammer-fired pistols (at least, I've never seen it appear as a problem in any of the literally thousands of hammer-fired pistols that have passed through my hands - I used to manage a gun store), I would agree that it is a weakness of the Glocks.
It's not a weakness that keeps me from using the Glocks, or that would make me disparage them in any way. It's just something that needs to be addressed. I frequently have to explain how to fix light-strike problems to Glock users I meet at the range, and I do so. The issue often comes up on the various internet boards.
I think Glock ought to consider explaining the issue to consumers in their factory-provided literature.
