I like this 3D animation, the simplest of all I’ve watched on how a striker fired pistol workks. Very short video but it’s well laid out clearly and simple. Thanks👍
Not all striker fired pistols run half cocked. This video explains how a Glock operates. Which today is kind of an outdated version of a striker fired pistol. When you operate the slide on my Canik TP9 Elite Combat, the striker is in it’s fully cocked position. It is considered a single action. But, it will not fire unless the trigger is fully depressed. Not only does it have a drop safe trigger safety, but it has an internal striker block that is only disengaged when the trigger is fully depressed. Without the firing pin block being disengaged by the fully rearward trigger bar, the firing pin cannot hit the primer if for some virtually impossible circumstance the firing pin lets loose in it’s own. Even though it is a fully cocked single action, it is very safe for carry as long as you have it on a holster that completely covers the trigger guard.
Thank you! I was curious since I'm new to conceal carry and i Appendix carry and this was a huge concern for me, for an accidental discharge I carry a canik SC.
Hmmm….the striker is pushed to the rear when the trigger is pulled. It’s never “cocked” UNTIL the trigger is pulled. I’m interested in how these guns just “go off” by themselves.

I learned something here (striker half-cocked) that I was clueless about. But my question is: Are all striker fired weapons of this same engineering/design in all striker-fired gun manufactured models? Or do some have the striker poised and completely ready to release their potential energy on the firing pin the instant the trigger releases the sear?
My bigger question is does this mean I can technically get a striker fire to fire easier than a hammer without the lower receiver... Also does this make it easier for me to make custom frames as long as I know the spacings...
came here because the wikipedia article i read about dry firing compares striker fire to rim fire and says it can damage your firearm. and i am so confused because i know striker fire mechanisms strike the center of the cartridge. not the rim.
Dry firing a modern striker-fired, centerfire pistol is no problem. No damage will happen to the gun. Some people dry fire their striker fired pistols for training purposes daily for years and nothing to my knowledge happens. Maybe sometimes an internal part breaks after years, but that can also happen with normal usage of the gun. It would happen also if it would have been shot with live ammunition. The big problems can occure with rimfire firearms and old firearms. But some modern rimfire firearms are designed that they can be dry fired without using snap caps. I hope that helps, 3DGunner
I dont think it would have the energy to properly impact the primer to ignite it. Might leave a dimple and then render that round useless. Kinda like in the movie Man on Fire
@@angelamaro3480it has to .how do you thing a glock switch works ? All the glock switch does is ride over the striker sear forcing it down then that drops the trigger.
I don’t understand how striker pistols don’t leave microstamps? I’ve never understood why people don’t like glocks and I’ve never even held one. But now I kinda get it, microstamps help in homicide investigations.
Informative and talented 3-d presentation.its also good to know in the half cocked position the striker pin wouldnt ignite the primer
Thank you! Glad you like it.
Thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed to know!
Thank you very much! I appreciate it. Glad you like it.

Thank you
We need Detroit urban survival training to watch this 😂
Ikr
He’s already faster than the striker
Lol. I literally went to this to make sure I wasnt missing something.
Why does there have to always be music with animation?
I like the pretty music. It makes me feel good about myself.
Nice
Atta boy
Good
Thanks for this. I’m a visual learner and now I understand! 😅

This comment is exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate it so much!!!
Do you know if all Canik pistols work in the same way? For example the SC.

I like the instrumental y'all have for this one. Sounding a little like Bjork.
So someone correct me if I'm wrong in this, but not all striker fired pistols are only half-cocked before trigger pull right? P365 for example
True.

I felt like the music was about to slide into Tubthumping by Chumbawamba the entire time
Why are you don’t have a couple million subscribers is beyond me. But this is really good stuff
What would happen if the cartridge failed to fire? Would pulling the trigger again without racking the slide actually work?
No. A striker-fired can not do that. A double action/single action pistol can.
@@3DGunner thanks! Thats what i thought but i wanted to be sure.
thank u
I'm guessing the firing pin spring can wear out needing replacement?
It can happen, but not very often.

Why did Lucky Gunner sponsor a video entitled 'Don't Glock yourself'? Glock is a striker fired weapon.
I'm pretty sure the half- cocked Striker would still ignite the primer

Do all striker fired pistols cock the striker in two steps? I mean other than Glock.
