I actually have both and I think it's beneficial to get to know both.
Yes sir, I have both and like both. The hammer fired guns do have a nice trigger pull in single action, but for my EDC I've been carrying a Sig p365 XL.. My carry of choice at the moment..
Yup . Glock 19 or my cz p07 depending on my mood
I’m a hammer guy all the way. I don’t even think I own a striker fired gun. Two 1911s, a Beretta 92, a CZ P07, a Marlin 1894, a Titan .25, and a Springfield XD-E.
I have just w , p365 xl amd a shadow systems mr920, however i own a p238, a p229 l, a kimber america, and, a pt940. I prefer hammer fired pistols. I want a bretter px4 compact next
Right on Texas welcome back to America, Missouri has been constitution carry for several years
I prefer hammer fired for 3 reasons. The first is the different trigger pulls. The double action is great, but going into single action and having that light pull is amazing. I enjoy the experience of learning the triggers. The second is that you don't need to reciprocate the slide when dry firing. Plus the double action is your first pull so practicing with snap caps requires no reset. Finally, the safety aspect of it. As someone who carries a Beretta 92x appendix with a TLR1-HL in a PHLSTER Floodlight; it's nice to be able to reholster with my thumb on the hammer.
I prefer striker BUT I absolutely love my DA/SA and LEM modified HK USP. Probably my all time favorite firearm. Come to think of it, the only hammer fire guns I like are made by HK. 🤔
Only thing i dislike is if you watch military arms channel his gauntlet series. Hammer fired guns regularly fail to drop the hammer on the firing pin because of debris.
It's also bad for dry fire because you cant practice the follow up single action shot. With striker fired you can simply put a piece of paper in the breach face to stop the slide from going fully back into battery, then you can do follow up shots that are similar to the trigger pull for rapid fire, drills, etc
@@JoshBenware I do pull back the hammer and occasionally do fire, reciprocate, aim again and pull. You’re correct that a DA will be the only trigger pull during dry fire if you don’t cock the hammer. However… striker fired handguns have no way to reset the trigger either so it’s kinda apples to oranges. Plus learning not to jerk a DA trigger has helped me not jerk SA triggers.
@StewMeat haha what’s up! I do carry a sig P365XL with a holosun 407k when it’s super warm and I’m only rocking a less concealing shirt or in non permissive environments. But I agree I feel a lot more equipped with my 92
Best video describing the differences that I have found. Illustrations helped a lot. You did make me think of the old school pinball machines. You could either pull the rod back and release it to hit the ball or just hit the rod immediately with your hand lol. Both ways made the ball eject.
As always, you rise above to help out a family in need. My wife just submitted a donation on my behalf. As for the comparison… there are so many pros and cons to each, I have a 50/50 split on my handgun collection, from sub compact all the way up to long slide.
Finally a shirt that looks good on you
I'm surprised that states are passing Constitutional Carry legislation, considering that states get income from CCW permit fees. Hard to believe they would give up a source of income.
Hopefully Florida will pass Constitutional Carry soon.
People still get CCW permits in constitutional carry states. In places that have had constitutional carry for a while like Arizona permit holders actually went up not down.
I wish I could get a ccw permit but in my state of RI I guess it's kind of tough and essentially you need a legitimate specific reason like you're a business owner or what not. It's pretty stupid. I'd love to be able to have protection on me in case some shit hits the fan which nowadays its always possible
This is true, however states like Florida also receive income from gun sales.
Even if Constitutional Carry is passed, background review applications to purchase firearms are still needed per federal law. You pay a fee for this when you purchase a firearm, and who collects a portion of the money? The state! So the increased gun sales that will result from a constitutional carry bill (and let's be frank, a lot more people will buy guns if they know they won't have to deal with bureaucracy to carry them) should FAR outweigh lost revenue from CCW permit fees. Everyone's happy, the consumer, the state and the store owners.
@@jamesmaysflyingwashingmach7459 there's no fee for constitutional carry background checks
Just recently they did. It's now a constitutional carry state. Go Ron!!!
I had 4 dogs pass away over 14 months.. last year to this.. so I Will donate €5 from Austria
Both Glock 19 and cz p07 . Best part is I get to carry which ever one I want one depending on my mood
I just want to say one thing. One thing.
That said, am I the only one that thought Yankee was shirtless for a split second? I was wondering if he finally got old enough that he forgot to put a shirt on.
He gets that every time he wears this shirt lol
I was musing to myself that he sorta looked like he has two belly buttons positioned way too high on his torso. 😂
@@butterflywatch4221 I'm sure he could just blame the vaccine he took.
I know it is 7 months since you put out this video,but thank you for it. I have learned something today and it isn't even 12 o clock
You forgot to mention that reholstering is safer with a hammer. Keep your thumb on a hammer and you will know if something snagged the trigger before the gun goes off.
Every gun I carry is hammer fired for exactly this reason.
Proper holster knowing your gun striker fired just as safe to holster I own both striker and hammer fired also dao revolver
@@kennethmalcom9884 no it isnt....a striker fired can be softly holstered but not as safe as a hammer; that fact cannot be argued.
A lot of striker fired pistols have multiple safeties. Making them just as safe. For example, my XD has a grip safety and a trigger safety.
@@arsinist7663 That grip safety is disengaged while holstering. The trigger safety could be disengaged if clothing obstructs when holstering. The original point is that it is a added security being able to ride the hammer with your thumb while holstering, which would alert you if something is adding pressure on your trigger, and even stop it from being depressed.
As a dog lover, I thank you for this avenue to help another dog lover.
I am the property of many dogs: boxers, American bulldog, pit bulls, American bullies and they gave to me more than I could ever give them.
Thanks for the clear and concise explanation. I shot both but much prefer hammer fired.
Quick question Yankee- when a striker fired trigger is reset, is there enough tension to fire the gun if something failed and the trigger wasn’t pulled ? Thanks
I know this video is a year old , but I thought I'd give you some interesting news . Down here in Florida , Gov. DeSantis passed the "Permit-less Carry" bill . Now Florida citizens can carry concealed without a permit . The law takes effect July 1st 2023 . Thanks Yankee Marshal
Thanks for the details. I needed that.
Thanks so much for this. I've owned a striker-fired pistol for years, but could never find a good explanation of what goes on inside the gun.
That's cause you watch your wife get striker fired by other dudes
Ty for posting this!
Excellent explanation
OMG! Adjusting the pig shirt! It's stuff like this that got me to subscribe!
That was very educatioal, thank you 🤘❤️🇺🇸
I really appreciate what you do for pets. Thank you 😊
Yeah - hammer sa/da with dc or dc/safety is my preferred setup too -- its an "old mans setup" but since i am an old man its fine for me :). There are some subtleties in how various striker and hammer designs work but I think i would divide them based on rotational vs linear movement of the primer force mechanism . Hammers are pinned at one end and rotate around to strike the primer or the firing pin (the firing pin if separate does move linear but its only transferring energy from the hammer/hammer spring with the firing pin spring pushing the pin away from the primer) . The striker fired gun has a linear source of energy -- but there are quite a few different designs out there so these are general comments only - exceptions apply. The various designs of triggers, transferbars, firing pins,strikes etc are very interesting -- interesting to note that to a large extent, the basic design of the handgun has not changed much over 120 years -- sure better materials, more safety features, ergonomics, better sights but if you handed a modern gun to John Browning, there would be much he would recognize from his time.
Thanks, I’ve been wondering this!
Great video!
Excellent video!! I am going to get my first gun and always mentally worried I may pinch my hand from the striker barrel moving back and forth 😂😳
Great video and explanation.
From the draw i like the early trigger pressure you are allowed to put on a DA/sa. I can see why it is not everyone's cup of tea, esp folks who dont shoot DA revolvers
Let’s go Texas, YeeYee
Great lesson
It would be good to review Sears
And maybe trigger resets
Teach us a things or three
When I’m not really not thinking about the trigger pull I don’t notice the differnce
Iowa and Tennessee both have their constitutional carry bills going into effect July 1st, things're looking up.
Constitutional carry only in name. True constitutional carry is open or concealed, no permits, and even ex felons can carry.
That hog shirt is outstanding artwork
Yank. Please do a video while your dressed as your image. Your “ The Yankee Marshal “A cowboy hat and some six shooters ect. I’ve watched you for years and enjoy your videos and many of your points of view, not all but most. Your a showman , give us a show. All your videos are good. Thanks for your efforts. Thanks from Alabama.
I agree it would be nice also from bama
Love your shirt you make my day with that shirt .
I think a DA/SA hammer fire gun is best. The first trigger pull is longer, which is safer. The follow ups are crisp and short, which means quick and accurate. I wouldn't carry a SA only like a 1911.
DA/SA > striker > SA
An argument can be made that the second and subsequent light trigger pulls are responsible for the most negligent discharges after a shot has been fired.
You may say that is on the shooter and you would be right, but the first shot is on the shooter also so a single action or light trigger/ short reset striker pistol would be more ideal fort that crucial first shot than a double action auto, no?
Great video, cool shirt.
Needs to pass in North Carolina! Been on the books for three years!!
Sweet shirt Yankee!
I don't think I should have to pay for my LTC in Texas, so I'm happy about that aspect, but I think that class should still be mandatory. Some people don't even have basic firearm training.
I really agree about mandatory training.
Have you heard? Have you heard? Glock is making a new striker fired revolver!
How long should you keep a striker fire gun, in the cocked position without damaging the spring? Or does it matter? Sometimes I can go a few months without firing my carry gun.
Spring steel does not fatigue under compression, it fatigues from multiple cycling. Keep it cocked forever, it’s fine.
The incredibly experienced Paul Harrel has done extensive testing on magazine spring compression and applying the exact same concept to a striker spring because physically they’re exactly the same, you can go years fully cocked (compressed) without a single gram of decompression lost. Your gun will rust and rot before your spring loses force. Gun Blue is another tuber who worked in the S&W factory as a Smith for years who concludes the same regarding the physics of springs.
Thanks
Unless I'm at the range, I like the hammer fired DAO pistols. I wouldnt feel comfortable carrying something with a short light striker trigger. I have a S&W 6946 and an LCP.
Went from carrying a gucci glock in a t1c holster to a 92x preformance in a shoulder holster and have no plans to go back.
After deciding years ago I wanted to sell off all my strikerfire Polymer guns, I have finally done it selling my last one, selling my shield and replacing it with a Rami
How you liking that CZ RAMI??
@@shockwave6416 It's hard to find the words I felt the first time I shot it... Gaztastickjizz, maybe 🤔. Seriously, love the cz 75 decocker series
@@603carry those are interesting little pistols. I love my cz 457. I'm currently shooting an m&p40c
very good info. 👍
Lots of confusing talk about these springs being in tension.
Pretty good explanation but technically, in both designs the springs are always in a state of compression.
I’ve never thought about the fact that the striker pin in striker fired handguns are normally in the most compressed state. I guess that leaves them more susceptible to memory issues, effectively reducing its life, potentially. Interesting problem.
Hammer and safety all the way. Can those things be improved on? Hell yeah they can. However improving doesn't mean "do away with". I want safeties so I can just cram my pistol into a beach or belly bag and be able to gently move stuff around in them a good bit without stressing over a possible trigger snag. In something like a beach bag a holster is just another needless obstacle to overcome while drawing the firearm.
Great video
Quaid, start the reactor. Free Mars. Oink-oink-oink...
Waiting for the day you do something for a Vet.
The Glock 19 just get a 3.5 pound trigger connector for 20 bucks and night site of your choice and you have a perfect conceal carry for a total less then 750 bucks.
I feel bad for the puppy ☹️ my bull terrier broke her back leg back in November jumping for a ball. She needed a special surgery and I had to sell a gun to help pay for the 5k operation. So I know how they feel! I hope they get the help and the little puppy gets well.
You like options, nothing wrong with that.
Proud to be a Texan
The basement videos were so much better than your new green screen efforts.
Its not fair to say that because they use a different method of action to say they are "opposite". They are not "opposite" imho. But they *are* a bit different.
burdensome is a word. good show.
May the gods bless Max. 💜💋
Hammer all day baby
F*uck I love that shirt. I need one
Kusheen was here...
Them hammers was firing on the ole Striker Sigs the army's using.. you know them superior Sigs
I like hammer fire HKs. 😃
So they both strike the primer......Honestly, I feel like a firing pin is obsolete and we should be looking into a striker wheel. smaller package but get the striking from a spring-loaded wheel with an off-center hammer. And then have it striking with rotation. I feel like such a design would shave off some additional length.
In a struggle for the gun a hammer fired can be disabled with the web of the hand .
For pocket carry a hammer fired can be fouled by lint and whatever else to the extent that it won't fire.
A comparison of hammer fired vs. striker fired " which is better" video ?
Superficial at best. ( but what else would you expect from this channel)
Ah, the great debate. I usually don't discuss calibers, actions, religion or politics in a public setting. Emotionally driven people cannot control themselves when talking about these subjects 😉.
Pretty sweet hat. But yeah win or not it’s all for the puppy that’s the important thing 🐶
A guy up on a ladder rub his gun up against a tree got shot in the heart from his striker fired j22 on safety mode
Sig P250,no random discharges ever heard of.Sig P320,same gun in striker fired version... lawsuits out the ass because of an outrageous # of random unintentional discharges.Nuff said
Texas has permitless carry, not constitutional carry. They are going to have more limitations on unlicensed carriers as far as where they can carry, and penalties are harsher for those without a permit who go into prohibited places. Its progress, but you're still much better off with an ltc in Texas.
Talk about cursed thumbnails
I know it's been a while since you uploaded this, but I hope Max is doing well.
I can't donate atm, but I'll hit you with a like and sub :)
I hate when you wear that shirt lol
Hammer fired all day. Except for competition. Then it's striker fired all day. I've done both so there's my input.
Good hat, but hate your shirt!
Can't unsse the pig shirt.
will Constitutional Carry states still recognize my conceal carry permit issued by my State ?
It doesnt matter if they're constitutional carry states. You dont need the permit in the first place. However, you will have reciprocity in states that honor your state license (that are not constitutional carry states).
@@JoshBenware False.
@@michaelvongiersbach7726 what is false? Or are you just being obnoxious?
@@JoshBenware It does matter. There are age restrictions for carry, for example it is 19 in missouri and 21 in Oklahoma. I believe permitless carry in N. Dakota it only applies to residents. Also, Concealed carry permit reciprocity is different depending on the state that issued the permit and which states recognize the permit, for example only 36 states recognize a Missouri issued permit, and every state can have additional restrictions such as age, local, and method.
What's obnoxious is blanket statements without context.
@@michaelvongiersbach7726 well, you got me there.
Hammer good, striker bad. Hammer gun owners' mothers have teeth. It takes 7 mothers of striker fired owners to make a complete set.
Hamer guns is more complicated machanics. Striker is the future. Just ask Beretta that are in the game with APX.
That doesn't automatically mean worse just because it's got more parts. Both are reliable. A DA/SA is the best fire mechanism for a handgun in my opinion. It's more safe and can be mkee accurate.
@@Sheridantank I think eventualy DA/SA will be extinct. That's why Beretta got in the striker game with the APX.
Boy that Arex sure seems popular for a hammer 🔥
Dogs rule
It’s permit less carry, not constitutional carry.
What ever, It's Free and legal.
Can the vetenerian do it for less like $1,500 ?
Veterinarians deserve to get compensated for their work. Surgery is very difficult and overhead costs are high and fixed.
@@brianj3626 I know we all do deserve to get compensated but we work for less then what we wish for. As a electrician I charge less to the unfortunate people with poor income and could only afford so much but for the high income people I charge the top rate and even out my yearly income plus if I donate my work ocasionaly I write that off taxes. Common Man !!! I know the game people play too !!! Swindlers !!! LoL
Not subscribed. Was just looking for info on this subject. Chose this guys content because I 100% thought he was shirtless with a giant pig tattoo
Bug man it's opinion lol
Hammer. Less chance of GlockCock.

I live under the triple threat here in the State of New York - Cuomo, Schumer, and Gillibrand.
From those unfamiliar with NY State - half of us (8 million) live in suburban-to-rural areas, and the other half of the population that sinks 2A here live in NY City.
NY City has five boroughs, four of which are lib/dem and then you have Staten Island which votes Con/Rep.
It is like NY City is always trying to drown you - 8 million people who override rights.
Will we ever get Constitutional Carry here? Not likely.
However, there is always hope with the way Cuomo has messed up. Perhaps a rescinding of more parts of the SafeAct.
Always tension with NY City when you live in this State.
David... WHY are You wearing a T-shirt with Biden's face on it? lol 🐷
Didn't you know that in the "new" 2A community you must like one view 100% and hate the opposing view 100%? Being open minded is not permitted!!!
This is just one of those topics....most of us agree on wearing underwear; but good luck getting a boxer guy in tightie whities. Ain't happening...
You put too much faith in the Supreme court. Every time 2A legislation is put up before them, they never make a decision and kick it back to the lower court of origin.
I thought Sears went out of business?
We should also talk about KMart and JCPenny.
Sir, you are far to blunt to explain the basics. Your a wise man. But a foul when talking to fouls.
I really jus need a chance to be heard I'm not asking for 🎵🎼handouts I'm willin to grind I see a beautiful body of work I can't wait to express jus lack the attention I kno I'm capable of making my something u like chance me please I really appreciate ur time gods and goddesses distant fam
Graphics are terrible.
Great info on these two different mechanisms. On a different note, do yourself a favor and trust someone to help you know what to wear and not to wear. Your shirt is so negatively distracting, it's hard to pay attention to your content. You are creating an associating between a pig's face and your face, not to mention raising the question about your level of common sense in other areas of you life. I say to this to help you, not as a put-down.
that thumbnail hurt my brain...
Oh yea SF all the way: ruclips.net/video/2fn6GFSwTEw/видео.html
