Carlos, This HK 700040LE-A5 VP40 Night Sights 40S 13R is a striker fired handgun. Many times the description Double Action is used because the trigger pull sets the striker and releases the striker. But this firearm is not a hammer fired double action. It is a striker fired handgun. The VP40 is Heckler & Koch's latest handgun and the first striker fired HK since the renowned P7 series pistols were introduced in the 1980s.
