    Why do SAO handguns need manual safeties, but striker fired ones dont?

    True, but that is why I mentioned series-80 and more modern SAOs (BHP, P226 SAO) with drop/pin safeties. This isnt 1911 v. Glock, I'm trying to do apples to apples here.

    Why do SAO handguns need manual safeties, but striker fired ones dont?
