US Patent 10365059 Firearm having a removable striker housing

A pistol having a pistol slide with apertures for receiving finger grips. The finger grips have an attachment scheme for slideably securing a striker housing inside the pistol slide. The striker housing retains a striker and a striker block, such that intricate machining is no longer required on the interior portions of the pistol slide to hold the striker or striker block. The striker housing has a planar protuberance that forms a ridge for being slidably received by corresponding wedges on the finger grip interior portion.
