You obviously don't realize there are a lot of gun owners who prefer DA/SA hammer fired pistols. Keep drinking the kool-aid.A solution in search of a problem.

Maybe, but some of the models they selected for SAINT teasers were *hawt*.There's probably plenty of proof out there already, but SA marketing folks must be a bunch of tools.

Skinny but not a lightweight.
I'm really curious, in all of these articles, the author cites the "people" who are clamoring for DA/SA guns. Who are the "people," exactly?
My response:
That would be people like me who do not think that Striker fired pistols are the neatest thing since sliced bread. People who want that first trigger pull to be long and deliberate for a variety of reasons with safety being very high on that list of reasons. With reference to the single stack feature, people who don't think they are likely to run into a pack of urban yutes (my cousin Vinnie reference) carrying Glock 18s with snail magazines loaded with depleted uranium rounds (Skyfall reference) and need to carry 82 rounds (15+1 plus two 33 round stick mags) on their person to shoot it out with those yutes. People who are currently carrying larger, heavier DA/SA options who would consider something a little smaller and a little lighter if it came in a DA/SA hammer fired platform. People who like their pistol to have re-strike capability and incorporate that into their training. People who like to place their thumb on the exposed hammer and feel for any movement as they holster (or re-holster) their pistols, sometimes in an outside the waistband holster carried at 3:30 position (blind) while seated in a vehicle to avoid scrutiny of passersby. Someone who understands their pistol has two distinctly different trigger pulls and practices enough to be proficient with that setup. These people can also walk and chew gun at the same time. Or maybe it's that old school shooter who is really used to revolvers but occasionally carries a semi-auto and wants a similar trigger experience. Or maybe it's the person who walks their own path rather than following the crowd.
I think I have covered a large swath of the gun toting public.
Not sure what happened on the above post. Somehow the original quote and my response became entangled and I couldn't separate them. My bad.
I'd be down for a pps with a hammer over an xds with a hammer any day of the week and twice on Sunday.What's a P239 cost these days? XD-E street will prolly be around 450...and Sig doesn't usually offer to "gear up" deal.
BUT..SA. Maybe this will inspire Walther to put out a PPH with PPS M2 texture, paddle release and a hammer.
The P938 sells somewhat okay, so that's the market. In addition, look how _every_ maker of 1911 rushed a 9mm version in the recent months. Hopefully, SA and others have a network of captive LGS that report sales to them. Sadly, that data is obviously private.Has anyone ever tried to figure out how many of these people there are?
I feel fairly certain that Springfield (and any other manufacturer for that matter) performs market research before releasing any new product. I'm sure if you contacted their marketing department they would share some of that with you. But all one has to do is search a few threads right here on DA/SA and you will see lots of fans of that configuration.Has anyone ever tried to figure out how many of these people there are? Because from the copy you read in the reviews, it seems like there isn't anything that the "people" aren't waiting for.
