Double:Single Action Guns Outdated? Why I Switched

- Disclaimer: this video got lost in my "To be uploaded" archives and thus is a tad old. It should have been released before my CZ P07 series. ALSO, READ BELOW BEFORE YOU BLOW UP THE COMMENTS IN YOUR SNOWFLAKE RAGE.
Support the 2A not just your favorite gun.
Now, if you post below in the comments silly jargon about how Glock's have better triggers or are more reliable then you clearly didn't read this first. I am by no means bashing on Glock or any other striker gun. For me and how I carry, the DA/SA just is better for me. I cannot talk myself out of the risk of pointing close to a single action trigger found in most striker fired guns at my femoral artery.
1. Safety: What I am saying is that often times when it comes to safety we are so fast to blame the operator but at some point equipment becomes just as much the reason for negligent discharges. I, an appendix carrier, just have more on the line should that ever happen. DA/SA guns are safer due to that long first trigger pull. Also, when you train into it you WILL hit the target every time off the first DA pull.
2. Trigger: which leads me into my next point. Striker triggers suck. Period. A vast majority are mushy and have a really crappy break. You get around this by modifying the trigger which usually lightens the pull. At that point, why not carry a 1911? The trigger is infinitely better than a DA/SA or striker gun. But 1911's are unsafe when the safety is off. That is my point with most modified striker guns. They have no real safety. The trigger dingus simply does not count. If you're going to get your carry gun below 5lbs, do yourself a favor and just carry a 1911. You'll shoot it better anyways.
3. Reliability: just watch the Military Arms Channel's gauntlet and count the times the hammered fired guns do better than striker guns. You'll find that ALL of them perform better. Why? Physics and a more sealed gun. Striker guns have a small striker channel that can get clogged. Hammer guns have the same striker channel but the firing pin on a hammer gun is activated by the hammer, not a small striker sear. There is little tension on the firing pin on a hammer gun because the hammer is what activates the pin's movement, not the striker sear.

I am also a DA/SA enthusiast. Now, we just need HK/CZ/SIG to come out with a DA/SA 9mm in similar size and capacity to the P365, shield, 43x, etc.
Best I’ve found is the bersa tpr9c
27 years in the Marines and 25 years of CCW and I will not even consider putting a striker fire near my junk. I own(ed) a few and love my Glock 43 but the only gun coming near my junk is my Beretta PX4 Storm Compact and hopefully my soon to own CZ-P07. I have a million (not really it's less) Grand Kids and I never, ever carry a striker fire near them.
@@VincitOmniaVeritas7 No. Still carry the Beretta PX4 Compact. Love this pistol.
I would not expect a Marine to be scared of a striker fire in appendix carry. Im not worried that mine will magically go off.
If you like the p07 check out the p01
Same
I just took my p07 to the range for the first time yesterday. I am sold on the da/sa system. I’ve never been as accurate with a striker fired gun vs sa. Thanks for the video.
Suwat T you bet! UtahPatriot below in the comments said the same thing. I sold him on it after he watched a few of my other videos ;) happy range days my friend!
The p07 is an amazing firearm. Especially after a few hundred rounds. The trigger really gets better.
This is why I just bought a CZ P-07 as my first pistol. I tried several others including a Beretta Nano and a Glock 19. I was WAY more accurate with the P-07 and I love the way it fits in my hands.
THOR carries a hammer for a reason!!
i know I'm kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Luciano Dominic Flixportal :D
@Musa King thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it!
@Luciano Dominic Happy to help xD
Lol good one
My preference has always been double action/single action / hammer fired pistols. I currently carry a H&K P 30 SKS (V3). However, I do carry a Walther PPS M2 on occasion. Unlike many others, I also prefer a manual safety. After carrying for 35 years it’s second nature to disengage the safety as I draw the pistol. It’s all a matter of preference. If you train regularly and maintain your handgun you should not have any problems regardless of the flavor that you select for your carry weapon.
I switched from a striker fired to a DA/SA (Beretta PX4 Storm Compact) after watching the Lucky Gunner and Ernest Langdon videos. Great video, thanks for posting it.
great gun....
I think theres a huge trend going back
To da/sa action. At least among civiliains. Military and police are going to striker cause in general they are cheaper.
A cz p07 is cheaper than a striker fired glock 19 soo?
I love the CZ P07 G2 ...so much character, even love the CZ production video tour, CZ is ver well made...awesome tool,made to work everyday.
Yes I did start on Striker Fired and was walking around our local gs and saw a Beretta PX 4 storm compact for 419.00 and I always wanted to get a hammer fired and for the price I bought it and I'm hooked and since have bought a HK P30sk [v1] of the 2 I shoot the PX4 better and don't mind the heavy first pull.
I never understood the hype for striker fired guns. Everytime you hear of an accidental discharge it's a striker or single action only.
Steven Walker I completely agree. Which is why when I go striker I go XD. People make a big deal out of passive safeties but they’re just that, passive. Thanks for the view!
If you cant properly re holster your gun then you probably shouldn't own any gun let alone a striker fired gun
@Evan Moyer that's a single action only, like I said.
Yeah alot of single action only guns will go off if they get dropped when loaded too and some striker fired ones will also supposedly.. unless SIG has fixed all there p320's lol which I doubt every single one is fixed
They are easier to learn to use given the consistent trigger pull each time. Also Glock's marketing I'm sure has something to do with it, and now everyone and their brother is trying to make the next big striker fired gun that will be the Glock killer.
Thank you sir, I really appreciated your presentation, delivery, sincerity & candor. This video really got to the heart of the matter for me. I'm a first time pistol buyer/owner & was just about to get an H&K VP9 but because the most important considerations for me for even owning a pistol are safety/carry/defense/combat & durability/ruggedness/reliability/quality; after seeing your video I got an H&K P30 LEM instead. I know it's gonna be a much steeper learning curve with this unique trigger system but I'm fully aware & prepared for a lifetime of consistent practical training. I was just about to make the wrong choice so thanks again man. 🙏😑
I for one agree completely. I have switched over 100% to DA/SA. I love my CZ P-01 and shoot better with it than any other handgun I have owned. It's even better now that is has all the Cajun Gun Works goodies. Great video Kyle! 👍
adamrojas87 thanks brother!!
Good info! I’m in between since I carry a striker fired DA/SA handgun in my Walther P99 compact.
Funky Fresh that’s a tough one with that particular animal! Doesn’t it also still have a striker indicator you can place your thumb on?
AsianKy1e Yes it does!
Got the walther p99as also I have the taurus g2c and both are double single action but I still got my S&W m&p 9mm 2.0
Thanks for the update.
Couple good thoughts and another perspective. Thanks.
Awesome video. I have the p95 also. Very reliable like a tank. But now you got me interested in the cz p07. Ds/sa all the way. Especially appendix carry
I have always carried my 1911 cocked & locked.
If I have to carry a CZ P07 appendix, double action mode would be my style of carry.
@@winkeemanley1820 thanks for your response. I’ve always liked the 1911 and always will ,but like you I prefer DA/SA for appendix carry as well as 15 + 1 in the pipe. Instead of 7+1.
And yes the extra mag.
Be safe my brother. Situational awareness. ✌️🇺🇸
@@russwilkerson2741 Hopefully my permit will come through this coming Tuesday for my P07.
I intend buying a P09 magazine (19 rounds) as it fits in the P07.
Take care & Stay safe.
Great video, I am fairly new to conceal and carry and have a Beretta 92fs and Kahr K9, polar opposites I know. However, I really like both of the Beretta PX4 Storm Compact and the APX Compact And I have been trying to narrow it down to one and I am sure that the Storm will win out. Thanks again for this video!
Great review and opinion, love my cz, glocks and sigs, striker fire and da/sa living in harmony in my gun safe(:
Absolutely! I think people become too vested into their purchases and get emotionally tied to them. Plain and simple, you dont need to justify your purchases! Both serve their purpose and I enjoy both action types. Thanks for the view!
Good thoughts. I started with the same mod 2 that you have, but have recently started rotating the xde into my appendix carry. Love both guns, but I am also really interested in the CZ 709!
The CZ P07 is awesome.
Brannon Evans sooo under rated in our striker fired world!
cz fanboy we're not talking about which gun is best, it's about which action is preferred.
Yes it is. Best DA/SA polymer carry gun in its price range and above it too.
I admit that striker guns do work, but I sold my Glock because it felt like a staple gun. Highly over rated. I carry a PPK everyday and the only striker gun I’d consider owning anymore is a P99, every gun I currently own is a da/sa.
Excellent video and very good points, especially for appendix carry. I too like the added safety of the DA/SA action for AIWB carry. I typically carry a Glock 19 but I'm very cautious of reholstering. I find that it takes a lot of practice drawing and shooting that first DA pull for the DA/SA action.
I recently purchased a Walther P99AS to test out the DA/SA action in a striker model. One of the hidden benefits of the P99 is second strike capability. The P99 gives you the nice longer, heavier pull in DA mode but the short crisp action in SA mode. It also has the striker indicator that will protrude out the back of the slide cover plate, so you can thumb over it while reholstering.
Thanks for sharing...
New to the gun world. I was researching about striker fired and DA/SA guns to see which i want for my first gun. Made my mind up for a DA/SA gun. Alot for me too learn, but I believe it's better for safety purposes. When I get experienced, i'll get a striker fired eventually. Thanks for speaking about this subject.
I own a CZ P10 and it was my first handgun, and i love it, but im considering the P07 or Px4 for edc for sure.
Another safety element I use is putting a thumb on the hammer when inserting in waistband or holster will forewarn of a snag pulling on the trigger.
I purchased 3 SA/DA pistols last week, CZ P09, Sar SFP 9 and the Arex Zero 1. I already had the HK P30 L and the FNX .45. I don't mind the DA trigger pull. I train frequently with all of them and make sure I use caution no matter what I carry.
Nice video. Both are great options however, I only carry DA/SA firearms AIWB, and striker fired at 3-4 o'clock for all the same safety reasons you mentioned.
Prefered carry is a HK P2000 in 40. Traded my Glock for a revolver, kept my SD9 just so I can say I have a striker fired handgun
MPGunther1 I probably would have gone with the p2000 if I could have found one! I did find a Sig sp2022 and am glad I didn’t go that route!
loved the video and appreciate your thoughts on this topic. I'm looking for my first carry gun and have narrowed it down to the PX4 storm compact carry or the Springfield on your table.
Which did you end up picking?
@@tizben Funny a year later, but i originally bought the Springfield didnt love it, so ended up with a sig p365 as my EDC.
@@tylerl6589 I think that's the exact route I'm going down. Have my cz p01. But would like a micro compact like the p365. Thanks
@@tizben Sig p365 will not disappoint. My wife loved mine so much she bought herself one.
@@tizben only regret i have is not getting the 365xl but i have larger hands. Just something to compare before purchasing.
I carry a Canik tp9 sf elite s
Iho it is the safest sa pistal to edc due to the trigger block safety. When engaged for reholstering the gun cannot fire period and easy to disengage on the redraw. Best of both worlds with an outstanding trigger.
My Sig P229 Elite in 9mm has a SRT Trigger that is insane. Took me a while to get used to the different trigger pull though. However I’m just as accurate with my VP9 and like you said the trigger on it is nice as well. It’s no doubt the DA/SA is a safer trigger system
Durhamite77 thanks for the view!!
How dare you!! You, sir, insult the very nature of mankind! What authority do you claim to have to look down on the Adonis-like, Holy Austrian boomstick!?
UtahPatriot if this was anybody but you. I’d wonder haha ;)
ALL HAIL THE PLASTIC ARNOLD GUNS 🔫 (SARCASM)
Chuckle.
Outstanding post! I have a Glock Gen 4 19 and I really don't care for the trigger. I was used to hammer-fired pistols while on duty. I will be going back as soon as I can.
I always carry double/single action p07. Hammer guns give you a second bite on a hard primer if you get a misfire. With striker guns you have to run the slide to recock the action for a second shot on a misfire.
Exactly, ejecting the dud round makes sense. Not wasting your personal safety on trying to make it work.
walther P99 or P99c AS, good trigger on a striker fired DA/SA gun with a decocker. excellent guns, and they take PPQ mags.
Interesting, you have to have grip zone molded into the grip, what does that say about striker fired gun owners?
This is a cool video because I really want to try out something new other than Glocks now. I already bought a 1911, but would be interested in carrying something like a CZ P-07 COMPACT for instance. The striker fired guns are awesome, but I want to try out different things. Hehe. I can't do appendix because I'm too short for that kind of carry. 3 o'clock for me bud.
I own both the P10C, HK P30, M9A3, and a 1911. I enjoy shooting all platforms and the each have the advantages and disadvantages...But my favorite is that 1911 due to the trigger. I must admit the CZ P10C has an awesome trigger
I've owned a handful of both, d/sa were first went to all striker and I ended up going back to the hammer bc they are better. Pistols were born w the hammer and are superior to me. I also have that p07 and love it, gorgeous weapon.
I’ve had both, like the de-cocker best.
Another plus you didn’t mention is when upholstering to fire in an emergency you are much less likely to get on the trigger too early. I bought an Sig 365 when I decided to start carrying and it immediately became apparent to me that this is way way more dangerous than my previous PX4 I used to carry in my vehicle. After really looking into the matter the CZ P-07 was an obvious choice. Good gun, not so expensive to cause you to worry about wear or potential loss if ever used. I’ve never found the double action pull to be an issue but I also stay proficient with my 38 J frame DA only revolver. We are in full agreement.
I was lucky enough to buy the CZ P07 in 40 S&W and it is the only sidearm I EDC. I compete with it at club level and always double action the 1st shot. It does take some practice but once you are familiar with it, you will find the firearm to be very accurate and dependable.
Hope all is well, just came back to your channel a few years later missing your videos. Would appreciate a new one if possible..
I agree...just got my CZ-75B
Such a classic!
I’ve also divested myself from strikers in favor of da/sa. Keeping my OG P365 W/manual safety for times when deep concealment is in order. My P07 and P01 will get the bulk of carry time.
You are right about some people not agreeing and some may get testy about it, but I share your view on this. I agree with the preference of the hammer fired for several reasons. I’ve been caring the full-size CZ 75B just behind the 3 o’clock position inside the waistband, (Alien Gear holster) and it conceals well for me (6’3” & 250lbs). When drawing the weapons is in the 1/4 cock position with safety off so there is nothing extra to do or think about, so in a high stress situation there is less to go wrong. To me the longer, heavier, deliberate trigger pull, in that situation, is a good deal and if follow-up shots are needed they are easy to facilitate due to the outstanding single-action trigger pull & break. I don’t like the “cocked & locked” position, but if you do that option is available. When re-holstering I’m push,down on the hammer so on the off chance something snags the trigger the gun can’t fire inadvertently because the hammer is being held forward. You also have the option of a second trigger pull on a weak primer if it doesn’t ignite the first pull. I am not a Glock hater but I simply prefer the DA/SA hammer action to striker fire systems. My first nice pistol was a Glock 17 and had no problems with it, but migrated from striker fired to revolvers and then back to semi automatics with hammers. My current favorite are the CZs. I’m thinking about the CZ P-07 for the lighter weight. Anyway...., thanks for the video!
I also carry appendix and I also carry a da/sa CZ PCR! IMO, best carry option for me!
the pcr is amazing
I agree with you! Once I realized I conceal better at the appendix position, I started feeling uncomfortable with my Shield. As much as I LOVE that gun for never giving me a single malfunction, I think DA/SA is safer. Only problem is now you're going to add 10-15 ounces to your gun. Smallest option on the market is the XD-E, which weighs more than a full size Glock 17.
3 years late but you could opt for a shield with a thumb safety, or a p365 same deal
HK 45c is smaller and took over my choice for the XD-E.
Also, it’s not a sellout Springfield product
I’m a Glock 19 owner and after shooting it for a while it’s made me want to switch to only DA/SA. It’s super reliable but wears down my hand when shooting because of its trigger and grip.
I agree with you 100 percent and my EDC is a PO7 and in my opinion it is one of the best pistols on the market for EDC
Nice video, I was wondering why printing is so important for you, if your in Idaho you can legally CC just about any including cities if your over 21, I’m I correct on that? And if so you cares if you print a little at 4:00? Just curious, I carry at 4 but under certain circumstances I will appendix carry, I’ve worked in house investigation for plaintiff attorneys for yrs and there are time when I absolutely cannot print and appendix is what I have to do, but I do it reluctantly and always a hammer fired CZ w/empty pipe, but what’s deal with needing such perfect CC?
Big eye Tuna I would say this is a far cry from perfect. In fact if they made a single stack hammer da/SA is probably carry that. The XDE is a monster. It’s every bit as tall as my CZ and weighs the same. But Idaho is a Constitutional Carry state. But I still prefer my great equalizer to be hidden which is why I rarely OWB and never open carry. Mostly this was made to show that Da/SA is not dead as well as why I traded in my tricked out 43
Big eye Tuna but yes you are correct on our laws for CCW! Plus if I always practice good CCW and no printing I can do it more confidently on less friendly states like Washington. With the proper permits that is ;)
I grew up shooting DA/SA pistols, when i first started carrying it was a S&W J-frame .357 from the 60's best CCW ever everyone cries capacity but my philosophy is if it takes more than 2 shots you are in a place you shouldn't have oughta been anyways. My first semi-auto was a Beretta 96-C 40cal hammer fired gun and other than it being a bit heavy it was a flawless weapon it would eat any ammo you fed it and loved it. After that it was a Springfield GI model 1911 .45ACP great gun, then i bought a CZ 40-B 40cal for 289.00 new in the box and sold everything but the CZ. I had purchased an XDM 9mm when they first came out guess what sold it shortly after it was the first striker gun and the Steyr M9 will be my last and only striker gun in the stable alongside the Sarsilmaz cm 9 gen2 and the ATI FHX 45c that I'm on a waiting list for. DA/SA is amazing and the 1911 platform has been copied for over 100 years for a reason it is proven reliable through the majority of military conflicts of the last 110 years the world over. It is also the most coveted weapon for competition shooting, so until a striker fired weapon can stake that claim, i will trust 110 years of evidence.
Pretty interesting stuff
KSGunGuy thanks brother!
CZ fan here & love DA/SA pistols.There is so much to recommend in this genre.
I just picked up the CZ P07 and am strongly considering making this my carry gun and dumping all my stricter fired pistols!
If you are suddenly up close and personal the heavy da pull won't matter. If you have the time and distance by all means thumb the hammer back for best trigger. IMO DA/SA revolvers and pistols are the best of both worlds.
You forget to say; Except for The Walther P99, The Canik TP9DA, and The Magnum Reserch MR9.
I love my TP9 DA
I love my TP9 DA
Hammer-fired is more reliable, but not more durable. They break trigger return-springs and have more parts to break. When all the parts are in working order, the gun is more reliable. They have more parts to break, and they break more often. The trigger-return-spring and slide-stop lever are 2 parts alone that break on CZs with alarming regularity.
Hans Blitz I hear that a lot! Must have gotten a good string of them :)
CZ has a new TRS that is different, these have been good. I do not have experience with the polymer CZs though. Not sure if the TRS is the same one in those that they put in the PCR/P-01/and regular 75s.
Hans Blitz p
20 years on the job with that platform and not one time did either of those happen.
Totally agree. I love my CZ P-07
It's amazing how little pressure you need to put on the hammer to keep the gun from accidentally firing. Gently rest your thumb against the hammer, and there is 0% chance the hammer moves back
Thanks for the candor. I have a CZ75B and like the action. I am purchasing a Springfield XD Mod.2 for EDC because of the features , round count and especially size. I sometimes ride my motorcycle and carry a "Man Bag" for tools , identification, wallet, and now compact pistol. Both are good to have though I would rather not need to fire unless in an emergency. I have twice been approached by another vehicle which tried to do me harm. I plan not to be on the bad side of the next event. J K
Have you tried the cz P-10s pistol that thing is small i own it and I really like the way it carries
I’ve only had the opportunity to shoot a p10c once. It’s definitely on the radar to own one day!
have a match grade 1911 and a handfull of Glocks......stock Glock trigger is just fine to me. Granted I used to shoot ALOT of milsurp rifles so I learned how to deal with trigger take-up.
At the end of the day it's 99% shooter 1% gun.
In my opinion, its the shooter to a point. If you have a Glock with a 2 pound trigger you are inviting a chance of something happening more than a da/sa long first pull though. I think we are all too fast to blame the shooter when we eventually reach a pinnacle of the equipment being just as guilty. Just my opinion. Thanks for the view!
At the end of the day, humans make mistakes.
@@spicecrop Yes we humans do err but with guns there are no second chances. Safety trumps speed.
@@asianky1e30 who edc's a glock with a 2 pound trigger? If you cant reholster any gun properly without catching the trigger then you shouldn't own any gun period
Não gosto de Striker fired mas esse design da arma compacto e incrível !
It seems to me that the main safety of a da/sa is riding the hammer during reholster. Once it's in a quality holster it shouldn't really matter what system it is as the trigger is protected, right?
Logan Sites half and half. That is the main part of the safety issue. The rest is the superior single action trigger!
I have been carrying for about 10 years and have owned and tried it all. Glocks work well. I cant argue with that. I carry a Glock 43, 23, and even a custom 17 from time to time. When I chose to get certified as an armed guard, I chose a DA/SA because of the safety factor of the first trigger pull under stress. My first choice was a Sig P229 Legion, which has an excellent trigger, but my choice now is the P07. Great videos, great logic! Keep it up.
He only mentioned it in passing, but the safety issue with small kids in the household is huge. My granddaughter bought a Glock43 as her carry pistol, and she has a 2 year-old boy. I asked her what would happen if she were rendered unconscious and her son found the g43. Of course, "That would never happen." Then I reminded her of her cousin, who also has a 2 year-old, and unbeknownst to her, also has epilepsy. She got home from work, went inside, set her daughter down, and collapsed on the floor, where she lay for 3 hours until her husband came home. I then handed her my XDE, de-cocked with safety on, and asked her what would happen if her 2 year-old got his hands on it. She now carries an XDE, de-cocked, safety on.
Precisely! I just prefer DA/SA in general. Thanks for the view!
I've also transitioned to a hammer gun for my EDC.
I think you should try a OWB holster by JM Custom Kydex or US Grunt Gear (Conceal Tac Charlie) holster . Nothing but top notch and very comfortable for a big guy , trust me you won’t even know your carry it. US Grunt Gear has holsters for every gun that comes out. Personally I don’t know how anyone can carry a IWB holster. Yes I’ve tried it.
I love my Glock 19 but I agree with you. I like the feel of shooting a SA/DA hammer fired gun.
I agree I switched to.
Does the P-07’s pokey looking beavertail ever bother you while appendix carrying?
Great question! And no, it does not. Reason being it curves ever so slightly to the center of center of the gun. Now if it were an oversized grip safety like a 1911 it may be a different story!
Tyler rake used a striker fire (glock) gun
And I really liked that
New to shooting and I carry and train on my Italian made Beretta 92FS Inox. It shoots far superior to a glock and the trigger is so crisp and smooth. I fired a glock over the weekend and hated the trigger.
@Evan Moyer I don't know. I don't even have the gun anymore. I sold it and got back into cars.
No hate. CZ 75B Omega w/Cajun Gun Works kit. No regrets. Just sweet all around. 🇺🇸
I'm NO expert but Canik triggers are BUTTER! My only issue is that their "compact" TP9 SF Elite is bigger than damn near every "compact" pistol out there. Also the TP9 V2 is a DA/SA striker fired pistol and that trigger is BUTTER! It's also probably too big to carry. I totally agree with you on the safety aspects of hammer fired pistol. Reliability is always going to be subject but it makes sense to go with the proven research. Thanks for the info. Side note: I want a P07!
Darius Lumpkin id love to do a comparison with that Canik and the Walther p99 vs a hammer fired DA/SA! Unfortunately those two are pretty are to find
What about the grip safety on the xd's? Is that not a valid safeguard when it comes to the striker fired gun?
Mike d I had another video talking about the XD. But the TH-cam police zapped it. I think grip safeties are a win in my opinion
I totally understand but I still think you pointing gun at twigs and berries with one in the pipe not to mention the vital arteries you mentioned in the video out weigh the no real need for no printing, like I said I do it but reluctantly as hell, just saying but it’s your junk and I can tell you know what your doing so keep it up but be careful practicing and reholstering, respect tuna💚🍀🇺🇸
I run SA only with the safety on. What do you think about that ?
Random Videos fine by me! There is a manual safety physically stopping the hammer and trigger from moving. Unlike a 3 pound striker-fired trigger that only has a trigger dingus inside the trigger. Carry on my friend!
I puked a little in my mouth. Lol to each their own. The reason i use da/sa over cocked and locked is keeping the hammer cocked exposes one of your pistols greatest weakness. Dirt and debris can cover the back of the firing pin causing your gun to not fire. Also yes your first trigger pull will be better than a double action BUT you gotta disengage your safety before shooting.... the same effort doing that you can just cock a da/sa gun, an with a da/sa gun you can shoot right away if you absolutely have to.
Very cood video suscribed
I own a few guns including Glock and p07. I agree with many of your opinions but I disagree that all striker fire triggers “suck”. My broken in g22 trigger is crisp and I like it. I run with no mods. Trigger feel is subjective. Everyone will have their favorites.
I carry appendix and shooting an artery isn't my main concern. Shooting off something else is. I know my G19 is safe and I understand that to fire a Glock you literally have to pull the trigger, as the striker is not fully cocked. I still prefer my P-07 as I'm more used to DA/SA from the M11, back in the day (90s), and I like the better single action. People complain about the DA first shot, but I don't feel much of a difference.
What’s you opinion on DA/SA striker fired pistol such as the P99 or Canick TP9da
I still prefer a hammer so I can “thumb” of while reholstering. But I just prefer a da/sa in general, so I dig the above two mentioned guns. Never shot them but have done some dry fire.
Agree 100%, not to mention you can see the state of your firearm...... the hammer is there to see, cock and decock..... and I'm not sure a SA/DA takes longer to learn.... perhaps 5 more minutes.... ;) And you don't have to use the long pull if you don't want to, you can manually cock the pistol..... I am particularly fond of pistols that have a safety and decocker.... that gives you other options like cocked and locked.....
Double , single action all the way . Cz p 07 is the best compact pistol ever made
Sound's like the XD-E is the answer to your prayers to replace your XD-S.
BERTalert7 would be but the xde is huge honestly. It literally is the same height as my CZ, only a 1/4 inch thinner, and nearly as heavy. It is more reminiscent of a high point than the xds sadly. Oh well though :/
AsianKy1e Gotcha. I had only recently found out about the XD-E and haven't seen one in person.
BERTalert7 I do love the feedback! And frankly that gun has al the right ideas. Just the manufacturer execution is a little big haha. Thanks for the view!
Dont let James Yeager tell you any different, da/sa is superior and far from dead. Striker fire is popular with police and military so the population tries to copy them. When Glocks first came out to the civilian world people thought they were stupid, same with the AR15. Now the AR platform is deeply rooted in the police and military so its no surprise is very popular with civilians now. Only difference is Glocks suck and the AR is the best rifle of all time ;) (Im a James Yeager fan btw)
I've always been a fan of Glocks, but I've never bought one. Everytime I have money? I end up with a hammer fire gun. I got a po9. My first gun was a sp2022. I love em.
TheAeasy19 I almost got a SP2022. But ultimately I couldn’t find one to handle. So CZ it was!
AsianKy1e yea it was a nice gun but you really can't go wrong with CZ. Mine makes me feel like a pro shooter.
It seems to me you are making the case for a good revolver
Growing up only striker fired guns were glocks and raven 25 lol
The best part of a hammer is re holstering with thumb on the hammer.
I carry only da/sa, H&K P30/USP/Jericho 941, Makorov etc. good video, thanks.
I agree 100 percent with all your points. I carry a Arex zero 1 T daily and love the gun. Without question hammer fired da/SA pistols are safer than striker fired guns as long as the person is trained and practices. I think many many times striker fired guns are purchased when a person is trying to avoid practicing regularly. First time gun buyers buy a sig or a glock shoot it maybe once in the first year and think they are competent.
Funny thing is I hear all sorts about the DA trigger pull being inaccurate and that your wasting your first and most important shot, I call BS on that. In reality many who carry Da/SA who pradtice regularly will tell you that 9 times out of 10 that there first shot in DA is more accurate and on target as fhere second shot. In a self defense situation I've never heard anyone ever talk about the quality of theor guns trigger pull.....
Switched from VP9sk to P30sk. P30sk is awesome and much safer to carry appendix
I'm going to buy one of these. Why P30sk is much safer to carry?
You have the femoral and saphenous veins, this veins runs down in both legs and are the main source of blood to the legs, this veins are huge and have a lot of blood running, if you cut open this vein you die in less than 3 minutes. You are aiming your junk and this veins area carrying appendix when you are in seat position like in a chair or driving. Also carry a double action flying hammer because carry a external hammer cocked and locked you are in the same risk.
Hammer guns are better & safer. You're right!
If trigger pull is a concern, why not Single Action only??? The mechanics are even more simple...and it is even more reliable. CZ makes single action only pistols too! Love the CZP07 btw! (Not shooting yourself is more trigger control, than the gun firing itself so that shouldn't be problem)
HK VP9 trigger is single action and it's the best I've seen...but I favor hammers, despite having to carry Glock for 15 yrs. I've never tried 07 trigger but a trigger on 09 I tried a couple days ago really sucked on DA. The 07 I fear has same trigger as 09 probably and I found out CZC doesn't even try to work on 07, 09 triggers anymore - useless.
Agreed!
