    The reviews I've seen so far all point to that being the case. Apparently was quite a big focus of the exercise.

    Where most modern shooters have a problem is with hammer fired pistols.

    "Single action" in almost universal usage refers to a hammer fired firearm where the act of cocking the hammer and releasing it are performed in separate actions. Some refer to a fully pre-cocked striker fired action as single action too. Glocks have neither of those. The striker is partially cocked and must be pulled to the rear by the trigger before it can clear the sear, or whatever that is called in Glockish.

    No.

    GLOCKS and a great many other striker fired guns operate with a semi pre-cocked striker.

    The act of pulling the trigger completes the cocking of the striker and releases it.

    GLOCK calls their system Safe Action, other manufacturers call it something else.

    They say the hammer has been reprofiled and is supposedly a lower hammer bite risk.
    "Based on one of the most prolific and popular pistols in small arms history, the Springfield Armory® SA-35 gives today’s shooters a modern take on a revered classic. Featuring subtle but significant upgrades to John Moses Browning’s original P-35 design, the 9mm SA-35 captures the appeal of the “wood and steel” era of arms making while offering the upgraded enhancements of today’s defensive pistols. Made in the U.S.A., the SA-35 features rugged forged steel parts for strength and durability, improved ergonomics and enhanced controls, a factory tuned trigger, modern sights, an improved feed ramp design, and an increased 15-round capacity."

    Surely the difference between SA, DA and Striker fire was covered in Competency training.

    If I recall they use to have Mag Safety as well. Which off course is the greatest evil in any pistol to a good trigger. For example Modern Rugers.

    Hope that also was taken out to improve the trigger.

    Damn your eyes for opening up the C&S pandora's box, it was tightly shut just before my daughter's birth! Their stuff is jewel like and I have always imagined that if I murdered my wife and hid her body well enough I might make enough from the life insurance claim to buy one of their bespoke pieces.

    Browsing around I see that they offer Tisas based BHP packages. That's a pretty glowing endorsement of the 'raw material' that Tisas offers I'd imagine. The stainless Tisas pistols are very nice looking things so maybe if one of those pops up on the used market I may give it a whirl. Suspect used prices would stay low if and until brand recognition improves.

    I absolutely love the GP35 and I have a few.

    The Commando Armourer I knew had a passion for them. He made those he worked on an absolute piece of pure functionality and reliability. It is up today something that I would EDC.
