Pistol designs have come a long way from the classic steel offerings. The majority of modern handguns are polymer-frame, striker-fired pistols<\/a>. Every handgun manufacturer worth its salt has a striker-fired option, but what makes them so popular? And why should you consider a striker-fired pistol over a more traditional option?<\/p>\n

What Striker-Fired Means\u2026\u00a0<\/h2>\n

First off, let\u2019s set a baseline for what we mean by \u201cstriker-fired.\u201d Striker-fired refers to the firing mechanism of the firearm<\/a>. Striker-fired pistols utilize a striker\/firing pin combo that typically cocks as the slide is cycled. There is no hammer to pull back and release, pulling the trigger simply releases the striker. The result is a single, consistent trigger pull with a predictable break and reset. The trigger pull weight is usually much lighter than a traditional double-action and a bit heavier than a single-action-only.<\/p>\n
