MP 40 ID. Question

[ormmach]

Hello to all, I bought a MP-40 and after checking the types, I found that they come in a striker fire and others without. How can I tell the differance ?

Thank you,

I would guess all semi-auto M&P's are striker fired and all revolvers M&P's are hammer fired.... But is that your question?

The M&P line is long and broad.... In fact I retract my statement as the M&P 15-22 is a semi-auto and pin fired.

The M&P 22 is also hammer fired, it's just enclosed under the slide. But all the centerfire pistols are striker fired.

Thanks for your help. When I went to the S&W site and looked at the MP 40s. I saw that going from left to right, most were striker fire. The last one was not. Thats what my question was about.
Thanks,
