FIVETWOSEVEN, wasn't aware of that.
Same release as the XD and I don't have problems with it.
My XD once shed it's magazine while I was sitting at my dinner table when it pushed just right against the backing of my chair.
Went back and watched the video, again, after reading this. And with that, the love affair is over...The one thing I saw in the video I DID NOT LIKE was how far the shooter's trigger finger had to move to fire shots. It looked as though he was SLAPPING the trigger forcefully with each shot.
The "Strike One" features a single-piece trigger with an internal safety system based on a rotating mechanism that will not allow an internal shoulder to engage the transfer bar and release the striker until reaching the end of its travel, which can happen only if an uniform degree of pressure is exerted on both the upper and the lower portion of the trigger, that is, only if the trigger is pulled deliberately and properly. Accidental discharges by the small hands of a child or by a foreign object that gets entangled in the trigger guard is thus made virtually impossible, and at the same time a proper pressure on the trigger will result in a safe, sure and accurate discharge, as it would be expected from some of the best competition pistols, with higher first-shot target placement capabilities than any other service/defense sidearm available on the market today.

After watching the action video again, I think the trigger is going to be the biggest feature most shooters are going to have problems with.
The trigger doesn't pivot in a fixed arc like some hinged triggers, but both pivots and must also be pushed rearward and slightly upwards -- which explains the funny "slapping" trigger technique I commented about in an earlier response.
I don't understand WHY they chose this trigger design. What PROBLEM was this trigger design attempting to solve?
Apparently the shooter in the video is an IPSC shooter and should be proficient on trigger control to utilize minimal reset of the trigger - http://www.ipsc.org/results/matchResult.php?ref=D52442862shep854 said:I noticed the "trigger slap", but figured that was just the shooter's habit (though not a good one for fast, accurate fire).
I noticed that too and was wondering why the shot group on the target they did show was a bit on the larger side at the distance he was shooting.armoredman said:I only want to see one thing - the target that gentleman was rapid firing at during the video.

If better accuracy isn't one of the innate advantages of this weapon -- which does away with the tilting barrel design -- what is the advantage to be gained by using the gun?
Dunno, haven't shot one. However, it does look like a higher grip is possible, with a lower bore axis so I would speculate less felt recoil, or recoil moving straight back into the arm. Less muzzle flip, better follow up shots. Similar reasons for the design of the HK P7, but this is just speculation on my part.
If there is any difference in accuracy (better OR worse) between a tilt lock and this action, it's not going to show up on paper on this kind of pistol unless you put it in a Ransom rest.
GLOOB said:I'm a bit confused about all the hoopla over accuracy. When a guy is shooting unsupported rapidfire with a handgun, the group size is dictated 99% by the indian, 1% by the arrow. And of that 1%, it's going to come down to personal preference that is 99% ergos, sights, and trigger. Not inherent accuracy.

For the intended target market, that will matter not.
