Does anyone make a truly double action striker fired pistol???

[CAJUNLAWYER]

By that I mean a striker fired pistol who's striker is completely at rest before a pull on the trigger compresses the striker and spring and then releases it to fire. This is the reason I went with the M&P380 over the Ruger offerings, why my M&P9 1.0 has a manual safety and why I will not carry my Shield.45 . It is why I am so on the fence about buying a P365 even with the manual safety. I know me and my ingrained habits over these past 64 yeas 8 months and 13 days on this planet. I grew up around people who pocket carried J frames and dick specials without holsters and that is how I carry them. That is also how I carry my M&P380. To me a holster is something you put a gun it to carry on a belt or waist concealed or not. That is me and I can take the ridicule...but to get back to my original question is there anywhere out there a true double action striker fired weapon for pocket carry????
What I would REALLY want is a hammer fired P365

This probably isn't a practical suggestion, but the first thing that came to my mind is the H&K P7 family of pistols. The striker doesn't cock until the grip is squeezed, then de-cocks completely when released.

Availability and cost may be prohibitive, though.

Kahr pistols are pretty close. I believe that the striker is 'partially cocked' by the action of the slide. Pulling the trigger completes the cocking and releases the striker.

Naroh Arms N1, but they seem to have gone out of business. DA, hammer fired. Or, the Keltec PF9. I think the SCCY has s DA trigger.

So are the Ruger LCP and LC9..

closest thing to a true DA hammer fired 365 would be a SIG P250 Sub Compact in 9mm... they are out there... and are either cheap or expensive... not sure why... last two I saw at a gunshow were marked $300 & $695??? they are a square revolver with a long smooth trigger if you get the chance to try one... they are kinda the
"redheaded stepchild" in the Sig world but paved the way for the P320... being a "gray redhead" I really like the P250... I have 4 of the 5 calibers offered and all 3 sizes of slides and frames... and a few color selections as well... got in when they were determined to be junk... just like most of my 40S&W's... I love sheeple

Taurus have made several striker fired pistols with "second strike" capability where if a round doesn't go you simply pull again for another go. However, I'm not certain if that means the striker is totally at rest in normal circumstances.

Personally, with the firing pin block a standard item on most, if not all, striker fired pistols, I wouldn't sweat it. The striker cannot release if the trigger hasn't been pulled.

The SCCY CPX-2 is a great gun, light, 10+1 9mm, pocketable, hammer-fired DAO, and inexpensive. CPX-2 version has no safety. Mine was very reliable after a minimum of break-in.

Having said that, the trigger pull is looooooong! If you can deal with that, it's a good choice.

Kahr triggers may be too light for what he wants.

How about the Beretta Nano or Pico?

The SCCY design is pure double action but hammer instead of striker. They are ultra-safe as it is nearly impossible to have an unintentional discharge with a SCCY, even more so with the CPX-1 (9mm) which has a separate safety lever that disconnects the trigger from the hammer. But the long heavy trigger pull (about like a revolver's) does take some getting used to. Even though inexpensive, they are very well-made and reliable pistols. They won't win any shooting matches, but that's not what they were designed to do.

I'll throw one out there you might not have thought of. The Ruger P93 hammer fired DAO. Compact version of the P89 series. These guns were a long time issue to The Federal Bureau of Prisons, and were in use when I taught at the FLETC. Reliable, and actually a good DAO trigger, that well simulated a DA revolver, in my opinion. Second strike capability. A little bulky and heavy compared to todays new generation pistols, they were a good DAO gun, and are available used for not a ton of money.

I also would like too know the answer. My brother has a Taurus that is supposed to be striker fired with a DA trigger and it will click every time the trigger is pulled but I don't know of any way to actually check if the striker is cocking and falling. Could be anything clicking. I would like to see a cut away showing the gun working. With a hammer fired I can watch the hammer but I can't see the striker. Larry

I had numerous problems with mine from day one. I retired it after 2 years of frustration.

The P93 is a great gun, but not likely to fit in the OP’s pocket. Or anyone else’s

 

[IraIII]

How about a cs9 sa/da not striker but very close in size to m&p shield

 

[Telecaster]

Close in size but much thicker and heavier.

So....just wondering, is the problem that you don't trust modern striker fired guns to be totally safe? It's really not safe to carry any gun, including a revolver, in your pocket without something protecting the trigger. The long, heavy trigger pull of the DA gun doesn't guarantee it won't go off when carried in the pocket.

I bought my SCCY mostly because it was red. I only took it to the range once, had some issues, haven''t tried again. But I like that it's red. I'm immature that way.

I don't know about their current line, but my old Taurus PT111 Millennium Pro and PT145 Millennium Pro are both second-strike capable, and the only way a striker fired gun can have second-strike with the same trigger pull is if the entire cocking and release of the striker is accomplished by the action of the DA trigger. If it weren't the second strike trigger pull would have to be different than the first pull - and it isn't. At least not for these older versions. Whether the new versions are the same or not is a question I can't answer.

Agreed. What I don't know is the state of the striker in "normal" use rather than "second strike" mode.
