Hammers> sremmaH

Glock? I think H&K developed it with the VP70.

You're probably correct on the history. Though, my point is regardless who developed it, the trigger-safety mechanism has been successfully deployed for years on thousands of guns, and it seems to work well. I have often been referred by my friends as having a mind like a steel trap. On guns and fishing, though, I'm totally open to what works for me. I have no doubts hammer-fired pistols and revolvers are not going away anytime soon. I do note, however, how the layouts of many LGS's have changed in the last 20 years. The ratio of revolvers to autoloaders seems to have flipped. Good discussion.

Hammer Vs Striker-Fired

I love my hammer-fired pistols & revolvers. But, my EDC is a loaded PPS, and I don't give a single thought how the firing pin fires off a round, nor is the trigger safety a point of concern, as almost every maker is using the technology Glock (tho not a fan of them) developed quite a few decades ago. And it works. It does come down to preferences, and I certainly understand why a good many shooters feel more comfortable with hammer-fired guns.
