I'm a hammer man myself. Main reason I got the S&W 380. I just feel more comfortable carrying a hammer gun rather than a striker fired one. Does anyone make hammer guns anymore on polymer frames?? I own an M&P9 WITH safety that I really like but it would be even better if it was a hammer fired weapon rather than striker fired. Just don't like the idea of there always being tension on the firing pin

Over the last 30+ years, I think that the striker design has proven itself to be safe and reliable.

Having said that, if you're looking for a more "traditional" auto pistol, I believe that Sig Sauer, Walther, HK, and FN all still make what you're looking for.

There are also deals to be had on the used market.

Yea....I know, I know.......but well you know...

Check (pun intended) out the CZ po-7, po-9. Very nice polymer pistols with hammers. Also look at the Beretta PX series. Very underrated. They're a little hefty in width, but again very nice hammer fired pistols. I had a PX-4 compact that falls into the "maybe I should'a kept that one" category.

My pocket carry is an LCP. Polymer w/internal hammer. I feel naked without it.

I prefer a hammer on anything I carry/shoot. Guess I'm just old school that way.
That said, I have drunk the kool-aid and purchased "a few" striker fired guns over the years. M&P's mostly. I like them well enough based on their other features. Still, when I'm not caring my 360pd J frame, my favorite carry is the little BG380 with a hammer. :-)

Beretta PX4, Sig P2022, HK has a few that come to mind...USP, P30, P2000. Not familiar with the CZ or FN lines.

I hear ya on the hammer, I like them, too... For polymer frame with hammer, check out the CZ P09 (pretty big gun) and P07 (Glock 19 size...), as well as the H&K guns like the P30, USP series, and for a smaller carry gun the P30SK. I really like the H&K and the CZ guns; good stuff...

I have just one requirement, does it go boom when the trigger is pulled.

Ha! I have both the Sig 2022 and HK USP/P2000 and completely forgot about them

Sig 250 has a hammer but it's DAO.

I like it. Thought I was done with plastic guns for awhile, but this one is tempting. I have the XDM 45 5.25", and it's been a good gun.

Not polymer, but I like my Sig 938.....

I think everyone above have hit about all of them. I personally really like the HK USPc, but I have heard good things about the Sig 2022 and P250, the CZ and FNX.

There is the DAO Ruger Lc9.

Don't worry I still drive my horse buggy cus I don't trust engines

While my major carry has been my LCP I still prefer seeing a hammer!

I had an uncle who died a long time ago, because the train (steam version) spooked the horse at a crossing. The horse lunged forward with the buggy & my uncle into the train. Therefor, I wouldn't trust that setup. Best to go with an auto, but stay away from the new driver less models.

I must have an external hammer on any handgun I own. I bought one with an internal hammer, a pocket gun, but that is the last. At times I like to cock the hammer and fire. Old fashioned I suppose, but that is me.

First time poster....long time lurker.

M&P BG380 here. I too prefer a hammer on my handguns. I wish the BG380 was DA/SA though.

I like my Sig P250sc .40 S&W.

Walther Creed

While most current production striker-fired pistols do feature a pre-tensioned striker, there's no reason it has to be that way. There have actually been a few striker-fired guns where the striker wasn't pre-tensioned. They just don't sell very well since most people want a shorter, lighter trigger pull. I'm ok with the half-cocked Glock "safe-action", but would prefer it to be a true DAO.

I'm a hammer man myself, don't own any strikers but there are some I like, and wouldn't mind having one if the price was right.

On new pistols, I almost bought a CZ P-07 (not "Duty"). Beautiful pistol. Compact, ergonomic, aesthetically pleasing, great trigger.

Didn't choose that one though. Went full classic and got a used CZ 75 B.

You can get a polymer-framed 1911. Another manufacturer just jumped on that train, but I don't remember who.

I'm definitely in the "hammered" camp - no double meaning intended -

IMHO, S&W never made a better discreet carry 9mm pistol than this one. All springs with exception of the one in the magazine are relaxed until actually firing, long DA pull makes negligent firing less probable, manual safety if you want it, leave it alone if you don't. If you are in a struggle for your gun, drop the magazine and it can't be used against you. Accurate, slim. Hard to improve upon.

Yes, it cost more to make than the current plasticised striker-fired models - but cheaper doesn't mean better...

9mm Sig P290RS DAO....One of my favorite carry guns.

I can't think of any Striker Fire guns that I own so I'd have to go with Hammers. Years ago i did own a .25 acp Baby Browning but sold it and bought the Colt 1908 .25 acp instead.

I prefer hammers as well.

Beretta PS 4 Compact is a lovely little handgun.

Beretta PS 4 Storm Compact - an interesting discovery

I think y'all need to take my survey:


Pistol preference survey

SIG SP2022... pretty darn nice gun for the money. Bought one for the wife & wound up getting one for myself.

I'm de-Glocking, and going to hammers.
Just picked up a CZ P-07 a couple of weeks ago.
Absolutely love it. So far 230 rounds without a hiccup. Fixing to replace my G27 as my EDC.
Had a Sig SP2022 that I traded for said G27, and wish I hadn't.
Looking at adding one again, or maybe the P-09, or PX4 Storm FS.
Lots of good options available.

I have two choices, a M&P or a 3906, For polymer frame with hammer no, the 3906 is all steel and to heavy to carry, but I do like the feel of pulling the hammer back even though it is double action and don't have to

I have the Sig 2022. Very nice gun. Very reliable as well. However, the grip is to straight and slippery and to thick and bulky for carry. I get same ammo capacity in a thinner, better grip G19

I believe the Ruger LC9 is hammer, the LC9s is striker, also think the Sccy is hammer fired.

I get to see a lot of ammo fired here. Every kind. I see a lot of steel cased ammo that doesn't go BANG in striker fired guns of all makes. I keep them all. All I can get them to surrender. I can not remember the last time seeing a hammer gun not go BANG. Make of that what you will.

The new Ruger LCP II has a sweet trigger for a hammer pocket pistol.
