hdtwice,
Do you have a specific concern or are you just looking for opinions?
There are a couple of things to like about striker fired guns:
- When you need to fire the gun, it will fire (barring mechanical failure or failure of the cartridge). A hammer fired gun can have the hammer blocked. This is a technique used in close quarters. If you can get your hand on the hammer, the gun won't fire. It's impossible to get your hand on the striker without disassembling the gun. So, the gun will fire at least once when the trigger is pulled; every time.
- It won't fire unless the trigger is pulled. You can drop it (not Sig or Taurus), hit it with a hammer, or shake it and it just won't fire. The striker block and trigger safety do a very good job in preventing discharge unless the trigger is pulled.
- They can be had with a thumb safety. For the, "A gun isn't safe without a thumb safety" crowd, it's available.
In fact, the only downside to the striker fired pistol is the trigger. Usually they have marginal triggers. Because they usually employ some kind of transfer bar and that bar flexes as the trigger is pressed, the trigger feel is kind of mushy. With some upgrades, or a Walther, the triggers can be quite nice. Get past this and there is little to have issue with.
