Who prefers striker fired over hammer fired guns, and why?
I prefer the strikers for my ccw.

JR24: said:I like both. But if I had to choose, they dont make a striker fired with a trigger as nice as my 1911s or 226 SAO, so I like the hammer. My Glocks haven't been out of the safe (other than maintainence) in almost a year now, come to think of it
Ditto.I have both and like them all, but when it comes to EDC, I like a Striker Fire gun without a manual safety.
I also like, own & shoot strikers and hammer-fired semiautos. As far as intended use for CCW which is what the OP mentioned, I like my Glock holsters more than I like my 1911 or P226 and P228 / P229 holsters. The trigger is something you get used to with training and practice. IMHO, the Gen5 triggers are generally pretty darn good. And at least one of the aftermarket triggers, the APEX action enhancement trigger, IMHO, gives a nice rolling break that I really like.

I have been in those situations where a fraction of a second makes the difference in going home at the end of a shift or the hospital.
Hmmm...I'm curious why some people responding feel compelled to post photos or call out their brand rather than just replying in a generic hammer/striker manner.
It is interesting to see what sort of extraneous information people will volunteer in response to a simple question, isn't it.With that being said, lets be honest. What striker fired pistols have actually done is dumded (sic) down the pistol to the lowest skill level. Yeah I said that and I stand by it. Flame on.
