This video addresses an issue of primer drag in firearms, specifically mentioning the Springfield Armory XD. The creator explores the potential role of a firing pin dampening spring and a stronger striker spring in causing or mitigating this problem. While initially suggesting the dampening spring as a solution, an update reveals it had minimal impact. Further testing with stock and extra-power striker springs also yielded similar results, confirming that primer drag is a common characteristic of locking breech handguns and the dampening spring isn't a complete cure. The video concludes that replacing the dampening spring is still a good practice when changing the striker spring, just to be safe.
