Most Glocks and guns that are inspired by them, don't leave the hammer

The thought originally was it was an easier transition for cops that
had a six shooter all their life.



I guess you could call the striker "the hammer," in that they serve a
similar purpose. Still don't much like carry pistols or even defensive
pistols sans safeties or decockers. Even my Ruger 22, which fires rounds
via what might be called a massive moving striker, has a safety.

The assumption is if the striker/hammer is not left cocked after the
last shot, a safety is unnecessary and there is nothing for a de
cocker to decock

Your Ruger (Mk1?) leaves the striker cocked after a shot as did
virtually all SAs before the Glock.

A Glock pulls the striker back and slides a blocking bar out of the
way as you pull the trigger.

What firearms do you own? I'm thinking of ordering one of these:

Ever used one?

You know you live in a Country run by idiots if... You have to have your
parents signature to go on a school field trip but not to get an abortion.

I have a reliable source who says they work quite well and are well
worth the investment.

Thanks.

I hope your 'reliable source' doesn't have 'eating ****' in his handle!
