It would depend on the specific model, but in general a striker fired gun simply feels like a safer design to me.
I know many guns have hammer blocks, or transfer bars, but all the energy needed to fire the gun ready to go at all times on a cocked hammer merely waiting for the mechanism to let it fly seems less safe than a system that actually requires you build up some of the additional force in the trigger pull.
Striker just feels safer mechanically to me.
That said a hammer gun can be made to have a smoother mechanism every time. Precisely for the same reason. Less energy is needed for a cocked hammer with spring tension to be dropped and you can design the trigger to be as smooth or crisp or have exactly the amount of travel you like. You do not need to create any energy to fire the gun, just let energy already stored loose.
However I think as a sidearm to be carried a design that is inherently more drop or impact resistant, or where even if a part internally failed it shouldn't fire without some additional manipulation favors a striker fired gun. And some striker setups can feel almost as good.
