It's insane how Browning's first semi-auto pistol was striker fired, yet his most famous pistols were all hammer fired until Glock "reinvented" striker pistols in a plastic bodykit. We literally went full circle and ended up at the starting line.
>>65644714Hammers are just better, its a tragedy that we have to repeat early missteps in handgun design. DA/SA is objectively the best system for practical guns, and SAO is the best for race guns, strikers are slop for retards (cops) who don't have the mental horsepower to understand decockers. And if you really have to arm sub-90 IQ goons we arleady had a solution for that, its called DAO, preferably in a revolver since they can't be trusted to check whether the chamber is empty.

>>65644714>Browning made a striker fire pistol that was way simpler and lower bore axis than a Glock 82 years priorHow did he do It?
>>65644881Was his gun really better?
>>65644881>How did he do It?By using a .32 calibre and not a 9mm, 10mm or .45 auto.You don't need a locking mechanism with such a weak calibre and so you can use a fixed barrel. And with a fixed barrel you can put your spring on top of the barrel or wrap it around the barrel like a Walther PP. If your barrel locks with the slide, usually in the cutout on the top of the slide, and your barrel moves, you'll have to put the spring somewhere else.Feel free to come up with a better design. There are ways to do it differently. Like the 2 small coil springs of the P38 that are located at the side of the slide for example. But so far the Glock is the most economical, I guess.
>>65644949I forgot to mention the obvious.My post was the explanation on why the return spring is usually located beneath the barrel. That's why the barrel is elevated. And that results in the mentioned higher bore axis.
>>65644949>>65644951The Laugo Alien Pistol is literally like the modernized version of the Browning M1900 but costing $5.000
>>65644955>The Laugo Alien Pistol is literally costing $5.000just like I said>But so far the Glock is the most economicalI mean the design, not a Glock itself.
>>65644955The Laugo pistol is gas piston operated which for a pistol is way too complicated
>>65644714Reminder that one of the Hi-Power designs was striker fired as well.
