Smyth Busters: Is a Striker Better Than a Hammer?
This video, 'Smyth Busters: Is a Striker Better Than a Hammer?', by Brownells Gun Techs Steve and Caleb, debunks the myth that striker-fired pistols are inherently superior to hammer-fired pistols. The hosts discuss the history of both systems, highlighting that striker-fired designs are over 120 years old and were not invented by Glock. They cover the practical advantages of striker-fired guns, such as faster lock time and a snag-free profile for concealed carry, while also acknowledging the reliability of hammer-fired designs and their prevalence in popular models like the 1911 and CZ 75. The video emphasizes that the best system is the one the user trains with.
