It sounds to me like the debate is more about single-action vs. double action than about hammer vs, striker. Some striker fired pistols have a long double action trigger pull and some hammer fired pistols are single action only with a very light trigger pull. Just my
My take on a carry pistol is it must be easy to carry, have enough power to stop the threat, and be ready to go. I think trying to rack the slide in a time of emergency, is asking for trouble, when the adrenilin is flowing you could get your finger on the bang switch while racking in a round. Same with operating the various safety's, and trigger disconects. Another problem is time, you will not draw until the last minute, and when you do you will need it to go bang every time. The revolver guys have it right when they say six for sure, so I consider my Kahr CW 40 a flatter easy to carry revolver. So far it has went bang for about 500 very expensive times, It has no safety, and will only fire if the trigger is pulled.
