Striker fired or double action. I've see that most of the p320 models available are available say Double action and some striker fired. What's the difference exactly?

Question

Tracy A. · Answer

They are all striker fired.  They pre load the spring partially, but not fully, when cocked, making them a double action by definition, but more like a single action when in use and feel.  A good read on it here. https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2015/4/23/clarifying-double-action-only-dao/    If you found this answer helpful, please mark it as the "Best Answer". Thank you.
