    Hammer. Main reason has little to do with the operation, just that it is difficult to find metal framed guns that are striker fired but way easier to find them with a hammer. Plus hammer fired guns just simply look nicer. I also do like a nice single action trigger.

      "Hammer vs. striker" is not even a meaningful debate to have. There are striker-fired pistols designed as DA/SA, like the Walther P99, and there are hammer-fired pistols designed to have a consistent trigger pull that's both light/crisp and safe to carry, such as the HK LEM trigger.

      If you're asking something like "Glock 17 or Beretta 92," like in your picture, that's probably going to get you a conversation you'll find more interesting, but in either case, I think you should frame your question with specific questions.

      In this case, this person's preference is really about aesthetics and frame material. If he found a handgun with a metal frame and good aesthetics, he'd likely enjoy owning it. For example, the FN 1910 or the Colt 1908 Vest Pocket.

      im accurate with Glocks. I can't anticipate recoil because of shitty trigger thus no flinching.

      This person prefers hammer-fired pistols because he has a flinch. What a quality contribution, lol.

      Carried both kinds. Both had no safety (Glock 30 and Astra A-75) and I suppose if I had to choose one over the other I like the Astra(hammer boi) because it just feels cool. That's my bullshit reasoning.

      >because it just feels cool
      Really gets the noggin joggin.

      Strikers always have mediocre triggers.

      Hammers can be ultra good, as found on precision rifles and race pistols, to being pretty good, like on SAO and DA/SA handguns, to bad and obnoxiously heavy, like on DAO revolvers.

      Overall, hammers > strikers.

      This person used paragraphs, as if he's writing an essay. His supporting evidence is just his bullshit opinions.

      This is how you spot someone who doesn't carry. Nobody with a brain trains to pull the trigger a second time on a malfunction, no matter what gun you have. Always tap-rack-bang because it's impossible to diagnose a given malfunction as a light primer striker (and one that will fire on second trigger pull) faster than you can tap-rack-bang.

        Berettas aren't hard on the eyes. They're up there with 1911s and CZs in the list of sexy handguns. They're big hunks of metal though, way too excessively huge imo. Like the Dodge Ram of guns. That slide mounted safety/dewienerer will also always bug me. They have a version with a normal safety that they only ever release on certain super expensive models, so frick them for that. Killing their own sales anyway, that positioning bugs a lot of people.

      LEM seems like it's really overthinking this DA/SA. I never understood why people think needing to get through a double action trigger for one shot is an insane hurdle. The reset after every shot is always the same so you only have to learn one reset. But I train with revolvers, so I guess it's because I actually know how to shoot properly.

        I don't understand your objection. The reset is the same for LEM too. If you like the single action pull of DA/SA, then wouldn't you like LEM?

          It's more akin to the triple action of like a Lionheart LH9. The single action is missing, but there's a DA and half wiener. Really though you'd never use the DA since the hammer is internal, you'd have the gun wienered and only use DA for a second strike.

        Mechanically speaking, is there something that would make a striker fired gun inherently more or less reliable than hammer fired? Only thing that comes to mind for me is that in a hammer fired design you have leverage working on your favor for wienering the hammer, and probably more weight and travel which could mean a less stiff spring is necessary to get an adequate primer strike
        On the other hand, a striker doesn’t require an additional moving part for the firing pin, and id imagine it’s borderline impossible to have a striker fired gun slamfire

          Strikers are always less reliable than hammers. This is not an opinion, unless it's a shitty hammer fire vs a great striker fire or something, that's the case. If you put a pencil in your barrel and fire so the pin hits the eraser, a striker will barely move it, a hammer will shoot it fairly far. It will at least clear the barrel. With hammer you also have second strike if the initial strike doesn't ignite the primer, which is more likely to happen with a striker. So striker you get a dead trigger, hammer you get a heavy DA trigger to let you know the round is fricked if that's the case. Strikers can have a second strike but the manufacturers typically don't bother engineering such a simple thing, and then they tell you it's a feature. It's a FEATURE to not have a second strike, it's a FEATURE to not have a slide release, it's a FEATURE to not have metal. Yeah sure, only stupid people fall for this stuff. Strikers were cheap outs to begin with. The lower bore axis is nice though, that's about it. Oh, and water or fouling getting in the striker channel kills your gun. Hammers are better for use while wet, fully submerged, or excessively fouled use.

    Hammers hit the round harder, and have double strike capability. The triggers are more predictable and typically much better right out of the box. I hate DA/SA but that's just me, many like it and like that it makes a gun without a safety actually quite safe. I prefer DAO with modifications to make the trigger light, SAO also exists but you have to manually wiener the hammer for your first shot. Completely pointless since you could do that with a DA/SA by just always wienering the hammer.

    Strikers can have a lower bore axis and consistent triggers. They're more prone to light strikes, striker channels can get filled with water and debris and fail more often. You lose second strike capability, and you should probably have a manual safety so you can safely holster since you can't thumb the hammer while holstering. Basically if you want a cheaper gun, striker is better. If you want a higher quality and more reliable system, hammer is better.

    I prefer revolvers, so hammer. But now you've got me curious if it's feasible to make a "hammerless" revolver that actually is hammerless and uses a striker instead. And if it would offer any advantages. Probably not.

    • 2 years ago
      Anonymous

      Striker pretty much offers no benefits except lower bore axis and consistent trigger since a hammer doesn't need to be wienered. For a revolver bore axis isn't a big issue and they're usually DAO or SAO. "Hammerless" are obviously always DAO.

      One od the best systems I think are DA/SA strikers. Taurus and I think Canik did some like this. When not wienered, you have a DA pull that pulls the striker back and when wienered a lighter SA pull. This gives you second strike capability, but you still have the lower bore axis. So few companies bother to do it and they're not very reputable companies, so we're stuck with hammers if you want second strike ability. There's systems like the HK LEM which gives you a half wiener SA and DA, so you basically have a DAO without a long heavy trigger, and retain the reliable strike of a hammer with second strike ability, but damn is that bore axis high.

        >lower bore axis
        You've actually got me more interested in the idea now. The whole thing behind the rhino was that a lower bore axis helps with muzzle flip and felt recoil, which are very important with hotter revolver loads. I haven't shot one, but I've heard the trigger is pretty meh and very complicated aside, though there is something to the idea.

        Definitely got me thinking now. Could make a lower bore revolver and make it actually striker fired if possible. Make a cool cyberpunk looking race gun version and a snub nose and a snubnose for conceal carry and self defense marketed towards people that aren't really into guns. Since you can put almost all the working components into the grip in a revolver, it could be really small and light too. Like an S&W airweight, but actually fun to shoot.

            Pretty shitty logic there. Low bore axis is helpful for race guns. That's why shit like the Alien exists.

            Only like a single digit number of bottom chamber revolvers even exist. The Rhino is literally the only one that is realistically commercially available, and it has a host of problems like the shitty trigger, very complicated internals, that barrel seam that people absolutely hate, and there was a minor fracas with an RFID chip conspiracy hurting them too. Revolvers are already niche and competition revolvers even moreso. It's one thing when you're Smith and Wesson and you can just modify your existing revolvers to sell as race guns. So few exist because you would have to design an entirely new gun from the ground up and that's simply not profitable for revolvers right now.

              If anything hammers get to be less reliable because an open hammer can have debris stuck in there to interfere with it. Strikers are closed off and can be less susceptible unless something gets in the channel, then you're probably more fricked there than you are with a hammer.

              Huh? Lost you there. Slamfire is when the sear is tripped as soon as the action is back into battery due to lack of a disconnector.

                To my understanding, a slam fire can occur on hammer fired guns if the firing pin either gets stuck in the forward position or gets sent forward due to inertia when the bolt locks into battery. It figure on a striker fired design this would be borderline impossible since the seat would interface with the firing pin directly through the striker, but in a hammer fired gun the firing pin and hammer are separate components, and an additional safety needs to be in place to prevent the firing pin from connecting prematurely

                When you put it that way... Perhaps you're right. But I came to the conclusion because the HK USPs are the most proven and torture tested pistols on the market. Berettas (92 series) have accidentally proven themselves to be extremely reliable pistols, probably right behind the USPs (I'm sure the open slide has a lot to do with it though). And these things I've read have mirrored my own real world experiences. My Glocks have had more malfunctions than my Hammer fired pistols. Granted I've only shot Glocks for striker fired, but memes aside from Glock haters, the Glock is one of the most reliable guns in the world. I used it for years in competition and carry before moving onto hammer fired. I'd trust a Glock to save my life any day of the week, but the hammer fired pistols just seem to be more solid.

                I think it might be due to manufacturer quality. But if that's the case, then why is the VP9 nowhere near as reliable as it's hammer fired cousins?

                If you believe this you're misinformed, simple as. I guess those limpwrist malfunctions are a FEATURE right? You know why that happens? Glock, being the cheapass company they are, in order to make a seemingly reliable pistol, put extremely weak recoil springs in their gun so it would work better when fouled, and super strong striker springs so it would push through water and fouling in the striker channel. This means your gun is extremely prone to limpwrist and other general malfunctions, and your firing pin wears sooner.

                Hundreds of bodycam videos of then failing when they needed to be saving their user's life, so don't try to deny or cope about it.

                You're the one that's misinformed. Any competitive shooter who actually uses and shoots guns knows more than you, any other zogbot, or LARPER combined, regarding what gun constitutes as reliable or not. The truth is Glocks are heavily favored by competitive shooters (if they're interested in going polymer framed and/or striker fired that is) shooters who put more rounds a month down the range than any cop or spec op moron you jerk off to does in their entire career. Glocks have earned a reputation for being extremely reliable among an small but elite group of people that CAN shoot.

                The Glock being hated on because a few low I.Q. zogbots can't shoot, is reminiscent of how the Beretta was hated on for years because of morons repeating hearsay or cherry picking stats... Cops are morons who carry their gun for YEARS in their holster without cleaning it or even firing it. Slowly building up lint, dirt, and crud in their holsters and every crevice of their pistol, who then have a malfunction due to their horrible lack of training and non-existent cleaning/service regime. None of that sways me against using Glocks. Guns that have personally served me well for carry and competition without any hiccups for years. That being said in my original post I said hammer fired is better and more reliable and yet you STILL go offended. Which shows you're a low I.Q. chronic regurgitator brand prostitute lover/hater.

                This is literally 99% of civilian gun owners and maybe 2% of cops who can get away with not going to training or qualifications somehow. Who are you making fun of here when you just insulted the majority of the board?

          It's definitely possible, just strikers are newer technology that was never applied to revolvers since most handguns being developed now are semiauto. The cylinder would no doubt need to be further forward unless you did something weird sticking out the back.

            Now I'm certainly no engineer, but I'm not sure if it would. Here's just the first google result I got for revolver cutaway. If you get rid of the hammer, there's a lot of space there. Most of a firing pin's length in a pistol is just the physical need of reaching past the magazine. You could probably actually move everything back if I'm picturing this right in my mind. It might even make it simpler since then the trigger would be close enough to interact directly with the striker instead of needing a transfer bar. I kind of wish I was an engineer now, I think there's something here.

        Low bore axis is a meme that should have died long ago.
        >consistent trigger since a hammer doesn't need to be wienered
        What the hell does the hammer having to be wienered have to do with it??? Consistency in a pistol is mostly a matter of friction between firing group surfaces (e.g. sear, striker, action bar). Ignition system has jack to do with it. Go on, try and tell me how a decent 1911 has an inconsistent trigger, or a Beretta 92 feels different on each DA or SA pull, or a well worn in Smith & Wesson 19-3. Stacking in the latter, yeah, but inconsistent? Anything but.
        >For a revolver bore axis isn't a big issue
        I really wanna know how bore axis magically doesn't affect revolvers which are far more offensive of such a concept than any DA/SA semi-auto I can think of (barring Rhinos or Meatballs). And most revolvers are DA/SA, not DAO and not SAO unless you're cowboy larping. Also not sure how either has anything to do with bore axis anyway.
        >One od the best systems I think are DA/SA strikers. Taurus and I think Canik did some like this.
        Bruh, stop posting. For one, nobody wants to even know anything about Taurus, especially their autos. Secondly, Canik? Really? Give credit where credit is due since this is based on the Walther P99 which is a true DA/SA striker. Admittedly I too wish there was more of these.
        But goodness me anon, I am pretty sure the earliest Canik copies of the P99 for some reason incorporated the dewienerer but were effectively SAO anyway, so they just left you with a dead trigger.
        >second strike ability
        Let's be real, if your gun goes click and you don't immediately tap-rack-bang you're doing it wrong. Nifty idea as it may be it's a better idea to just move on.
        >but damn is that bore axis high.
        Ugh, seriously go out and actually shoot some guns some time and stop harping on this stupid idea that bore axis is worth losing any sleep over.

        https://i.imgur.com/ldbZFRo.jpg

        >lower bore axis
        You've actually got me more interested in the idea now. The whole thing behind the rhino was that a lower bore axis helps with muzzle flip and felt recoil, which are very important with hotter revolver loads. I haven't shot one, but I've heard the trigger is pretty meh and very complicated aside, though there is something to the idea.

        Definitely got me thinking now. Could make a lower bore revolver and make it actually striker fired if possible. Make a cool cyberpunk looking race gun version and a snub nose and a snubnose for conceal carry and self defense marketed towards people that aren't really into guns. Since you can put almost all the working components into the grip in a revolver, it could be really small and light too. Like an S&W airweight, but actually fun to shoot.

        Don't listen to him.

          Not him but I disagree with this statement. Close distances as most handgun defensive scenarios tend to occur, you'll most likely be pulling that trigger as fast as you can. Unless you can't get sub .20 splits and you're a slow shooter despite basically trying to do a mag dump... chances are you won't register the failure before you pull the trigger a second time, which means that you'll accidentally use the second strike capability which could theoretically get you back into the fight in 0.15 of a second as opposed to the multiple seconds of trying to tap rack and back to bang. I would agree that it's not wise to stay there and continue to try to use the second strike until a round hopefully pops off. I'll also default to tap rack and bang when I register the failure, but the second strike capability is more of a bonus. That, and it's also helpful in other scenarios. I was shooting in the desert during a small sandstorm and other shooters with Glocks who were starting to have issues had to always default to tap rack bang while I could get away with pulling the trigger a few times (sand was in everyone's barrel and chambers magazines and ammo). Lastly, this is kind of a stretch but in a survival scenario with shitty ammo or little resources you can't just discount every round as bad and tap rack it into the grass. You might have to try to make every round go off for conservations sake. It's a nifty little feature and I'd rather have it than not.

            Hmm, excellent point. I didn't think about that.

            I have used it all of once at the range cause I got a light strike/hard primer. Made me giddy too. Like that time I used my forward assist.

            I'm gonna add to this with some serious learned autism. There's a pro and a con to each system here when it comes to gunfights.

            Hammer:
            >you get second strike, which is critical in an entangled fight or any situation where you may only have one hand, so plus
            >but there's the tactic of putting your thumb behind the slide to press the gun into battery in an entangled fight, where the only shot you can take is one pressed up against your attacker, with a hammer you have to be very mindful not to block the hammer while your thumb is pressing the slide forward, it's actually difficult to do and you're only blocking it with part of your thumb so the gun may actuate and hurt your thumb a bit, so I'm gonna call it a minus just because under stress you're probably going to block the hammer trying it

            Striker:
            >you're trigger goes dead, if you only have one hand you're fricked, so con, it's also a con in general because you get a second strike and indication that your round may be dead with the heavier DA pull telling you something is up
            >nice flat back of the gun, no chance of not being able to press it into battery with your thumb (which will cause the need for a TRB, but you got one shot off which could be all you needed to live). But with this you lose the ability to thumb the back of the hammer to safely holster your gun, so your gun should have a safety which almost no striker guns have. But that's a FEATURE. Remember that having your gun stripped of all nice things is a FEATURE. Honestly hammer fires are the only handguns that should ever be safetyless.

              I dislike safeties for concealed carry. I think they are one hundred percent, completely unneeded on a gun that is solely used for concealed carry and range use.

          Shut up Black person I just stated what _I_ want in a handgun. I like low bore axis, it looks better, the gun is smaller, and it's comfy. Strikers just have their drawbacks and that's a known thing. The strike is lighter and they're typically put on cheap guns that don't bother engineering a second strike capability. I don't want a dead trigger, I want a heavy DA trigger that let's me know the round is bad, but if it happens to fire the round then good, I got back in the fight sooner and didn't need to think and perform a whole two handed operation to do it. You don't understand how real gunfights go down.

          Basically all I want is a DA only hammer fire that doesn't have a shitty long hard trigger pull, or a hammerless DA/SA that can always be carried wienered & locked without a stupid hammer always being back, or a striker that operates like a DA/SA that can be carried wienered & locked would be ideal. You can deny that shit, it would be awesome.
