If we didn’t have striker fired guns...

What I carry now: DA/SA Sigs. My dream gun would be a truly small DA/SA gun...at this point strikers rule and it will never happen.

I'll probably give up/give in and go P365 to scratch my small gun itch.

What about the Springfield XDE?

I think you are correct but also there is a packaging envelope at play. A hammer fired mechanism just requires more real estate.

Don’t own any striker fired handguns. So all mine have hammers and all are carried at some point or the other.

HK P2000 V3 or P229.

huh? How much smaller do you want? HK P2000? P30SK, CZ Rambi, Storm, P224, and if the market actually demanded it and double stack can go, way narrow than any of those in a new design. Colt 1903 clone for example. There isn't a packaging envelope that matters for this.

Either the P226 or my HK45Cm

Well, I've carried a P230, a P239, and now have a Beretta PX4 full-size. I'd be fine carrying any of those, though I'm pretty partial to the PX4 as of late.

I've been carrying an SAO exclusively for over a half a year now, so I'll just stick with exactly that in this striker-free world.

But if not that, I'd be carrying a 228.

Summer would be my Bersa Thunder

Cooler months Ruger P93 or SIG P250

Probably some variant of P229, maybe a SP2002/2340, for IWB

Pocket carry would likely still be my P11.

For carry purposes, probably an HK DA/SA model or my Sig SP2022.
