I’m a big striker fired pistol fan... These guns are generally less expensive and often smaller than their hammer fired counterparts. But...

If we didn’t have striker fired pistols - what would you carry?

This is just merely to spark some fun and nostalgic discussion. Since most striker fired guns are relatively recent - what would you look for in a hammer fired gun..,

Colt Government Model or other quality .45 ACP 1911 variant.

My primary carry gun for nearly 20 years (and still is) a DAK P229.

Sig P-220.

Mine - Colt Commander, Beretta 92, and a S&W 642 for something small.

DA/SA SIG P226.

Likely, when I retire, it will be all that I carry.

P229-40 or P220!

Anything in 10mm.

Same as I sometimes already do: My Colt Defender in .45 ACP.

P-239 9mm or S&W 6906

Ummmmmmm the same HK P2000 that is in my nightstand today.

What can I say I’m a troglodyte.

If we didn't have striker guns, nobody would notice, or care. 239.

HK USPc or a S&W 6906.

Yep!

Without strikers, I’d probably be all 1911. Although I did carry DA/SA Sigs for more than a decade. I would still feel well served with them.

A CZ of some type. I like the 226/229 but the CZ fits better.

Before I got into GLOCKs, it was P series SIGs.
P229
P220

Pre 2005 P226 chambered in 9mm

Without strikers my life wouldn’t change much. I will always have glocks because they are the bottled water of the gun world but I would carry a CZ. Or a Beretta. Or a Sig. And be fine.
