Alex, I tried to answer you question previously, but apparently I used a word that Buds auto parser didn't like and rejected it. I will give you a more simplified answer and hopefully avoid this issue. First off, the P320 is definitely striker fired. As to single (SA)/double (DA) action, let me give you some background. These two terms were coined originally for revolvers. A SA revolver's only releases the hammer to strike the primer. On a DA it rotates, the cylinder, pulls the hammer back and releases it to fire the gun. On the P320 as with vast majority of striker fired pistols the user must pull the slide back and release it to load the first round. When the trigger is pulled the bullet it fired, the slide action then forward and reloads the chamber from the magazine. The firing pin/ striker bar is set in the ready position and when the trigger is pulled the gun fires and the cycle is repeated until the last round is used. At that point most striker fired pistols including the P320
