Ur striker spring willnot wear out- period. also when it is cocked, the striker spring is mabye 10-15% precocked, nothing more. There is no wear on that spring..
When u hand rack that slide, trust me that striker is not still sticking out andinterferring witht he feeding operation. I like most here would not recommend carry ur P380 in an unloaded situation. #1, the gun is designed to be carried loaded, it is 100% safe in that mode, . #2 In a SHTF sitatuion the last thang that I would even want to think about is hand rackinng properly any semi auto to get a live round in the chamber. Time is ur life in that situation and racking a round is certainly IMO WASTED TIME. The little kahr P380 for most is not an easy gun to hand rack in the first place. carry it loaded, ur never gonna wear out the striker spring. Buy a half dozen if u feel nervous about it. I have been on this forum since day one and I can't remember anyoine every wearing out a striker spring. Now to say a gun cannot come with a weak striker spring is not what I am saying. That would be product failure, not shooting fatigue.
All guns are diffrerent. but I have the 5# stgriker spring in my PM9 and I have over 32K rounds through it, and never a failure to go bang, never replaced the spring and feel no need to. We have military 45 magaines with original mag springs that have been in many miitary 45's since coming home from the war. THEY WORK FINE.
If u feel the need to carry with no round in the chamber and thnik the striker will interfer. unload the gun, take the magazine out, dry fire it, now pull the slide back about a quarter inch, u have now reset the striker and it is no longer sticking out nor can it. The gun is partially precocked in that 10-15% position. Now if u then insert a loaded magaizine, then merely racking the slide should load a round perfect to. Down side of this is you are one round short in the gun.. My opinion here is that your worrying about something that is a none issue
