A lot of people debate the advantages and disadvantages of the striker and hammer fired pistols. There are definite pros and cons to both systems, but people tend to try to label one or the other as a winner over the other. I find it more helpful to merely evaluate ad judge the systems for what they are good at and where they shine. There are considerations that one must take … [Read more...]
