I was cleaning guns the other day. First my fav {a M41}-then onto my other pistols. High Standard 102 Supermatic {hammer}and then a High Standard Duramatic {striker}. My curiosity got the best of me, so I started reading about striker and hammer fired. I found several google references to the M41 being a striker fired. Having a basic understanding of the 41 functions, I questioned this, as the M41 has a hammer. I searched the SW website for this topic but had no luck. Could anyone chime in on this? Civil could you and Tom help me out. Thanks.
