Glossaries Description -

In some semi-auto pistols there is no hammer. This is used in many modern pistols, i.e Glock, S&W, Ruger, etc. Striker operated pistols can be DAO or SAO. Example: Glock is DAO. The striker is 70% cocked until the trigger is pulled. The H&K VP series is single action resulting in a lighter, smoother trigger pull.
