Striker fired pistols?

[chicharrones]

I’m blown away by the tolerance, even advocacy of safety-less pistols. Pure hubris. If you can be safer at absolutely no disadvantage in a self-defense situation, how can you argue against it? Practiced drawing routines are all that are needed to make safety removal automatic. You establish your preferred grip every time you draw. You properly place your index finger along the slide before acquiring your target. You do so many things automatically. Dropping the thumb safety is no different.

Don't discount the possibility of drawing and firing with the weak side hand and only using that one hand.

While not mandatory, it makes me want ambidextrous safety levers on a self defense gun with a manual safety.

Agreed.

Wow, thanks for that. Who knew you could make a gun like that? It is almost automatic. I guess you might call it semi-automatic. That's it (snaps fingers), semi-automatic. How come no one else ever thought of that? We should nominate Gaston for the Nobel prize.
