Actually, they look the same. Some of us surmised that Kahr had a bad batch of strikers back then (around 2015) because there seemed like there were a lot of them. But I don't know if any one is sure. I normally carry my P365 but will sometimes throw my original P380 in a pocket. It has the Lakeline striker in it. The one I recently bought for $299 will be getting workouts at the range and I'll see how the stock striker holds up.

One is a gift. I replaced the strikers in both of them before I even shot them. Quite a few of the stock strikers have broken, but I am sure there are many more that have not broken. If you aren't going to carry it I guess it is not important.
I carry one of my 9mm's but may carry the P380 half the time. I guess depending where I'm going and what I'm wearing.
I'd love for someone to tell me how the newer build strikers are ok vs the older 2015 and older builds.
