OK....asked a question under another thread and got some great answers so lets ask the real question to get the real answers...


If you were only allowed to own one pistol....would it be a hammer or striker pistol???????

Personally I lean towards the Hammer....JMHO
 
I like the feel of hammer guns better however there's no denying that strikerfired rules the world of carry guns.

There is only one correct answer to your question young padawan. 10mmAuto it must be. The method of delivery then does not matter hmmm? (I am watching Star Trek and channeling Yoda LLAP...hahahaha)
 
I've have a "striker fired" High Standard .22 and had an old .32 FN. The FN was a POS, the High Standard is a great shooter. Neither have decockers.

I have a 1911 and a CZ85 clone, both hammer fired. I love both. Hammer is a highly visible cocking indicator, half #### on both and positive safety on both are great. A hammer allows de-cocking.

While I have never had a striker fired pistol with a de-cocker, I like the idea.

I believe that a hammer fired pistol is inherently safer; I think a hammer fired pistol with a de-cocker would be the ultimate, but then it's an extra lever. CZ built them, Sig Sauer has them, others may too.

More important, find a pistol that suits you, learn to use it safely and properly, and shoot the heck out of it!
