8+ Best Striker Fired Pistols for the Range
Striker-fired pistols are semi-automatic pistols that use a striker instead of a hammer to fire the cartridge. Strikers are spring-loaded firing pins that are cocked when the slide is cycled. When the trigger is pulled, the striker is released and it strikes the primer of the cartridge, causing it to fire.
Striker-fired pistols are becoming increasingly popular because they are generally more reliable and have a shorter trigger pull than hammer-fired pistols. They are also often lighter and more compact than hammer-fired pistols, making them easier to carry concealed.
