Preferred action

I prefer SAO handguns and was curious what others prefer and why. I like SAO as that’s what I started shooting and am proficient and comfortable with shooting, and carrying, them. Much like the iOS vs Android debate…or Pepsi vs Coke…it comes down to preference. … except Coke really is better than Pepsi :rofl:

  • Striker
  • DA/SA
  • SAO

I voted SAO because Pepsi is definitely better than Coke :wink:

But seriously… I’ve started with “striker”, then moved to “DA/SA” (however I setup safety on it) and now I’m waiting for my new EDC which is gonna be “SAO”.

I’m one of few people that think glocks are sexy. Striker fired is my jam.

This is what I’ve read :joy:
"Striker fired always jams "

I vote striker fired. Easy maintenance, reliable, easy reload, consistent trigger pull… but I don’t discriminate, I like all of the above :joy:

Striker (for reasons already listed…

Android…because I refuse to join the cult of Jobs…

Coke…because it is better than Pepsi…

I started out with SA/DA, but bought my first striker pistol (Sig P320-M17) about a year ago and really like it. Simple to use and easy to keep one in the chamber.

Amen!

until I pour an ounce of half and half into 12 as a mixer, then the extra sugar in Pepsi just …works…

Ever since I let go of my PPK/S & 4506 I’ve been a DA/SO w/decocker SIG family man.
(although, thinking about SAO; the short reset triggers with Grey Ghost reworks are really damn nice and amazingly easy to drain a magazine with. It sure would be tempting if I didn’t have to EDC.)

Why are we discriminating? All boom booms and pew pews are equally sexy!

I do carry a striker fired gun all along. But prefer the SAO, like the prophet JMB designed many years ago… :smile:

DA/SA, because revolver. Also, why bend over to pick up brass. I’ll have sweet tea thanks.
Like @Spence said, all “boom booms” are great. I carry a stryker fired gun.

I shot a Sig P226 Legion SAO a few months back. Loved the feel and the trigger is phenomenal. I’ve been saving for one ever since!

Grew up with the 1911 and will die with the 1911. :wink:

SAO (1911) first, although I do love a good DA/SA (CZ, Beretta).
Android all the way.
I will take a nice mountain filtered stream water, please. :smiley:

Why no option for DAO? Somebodys buying those hammerless S&W snubbies.

Ah, good catch. I missed that and it’s too late to revise the poll. Great firearm too. :flushed:

Yep. And then there is the S&W .380 bodyguard, DAO, internal hammer pistol. Not a favorite of mine, but we have one anyway. My wife likes it.

I voted for SAO because I love 1911s, but I like them all. Current carry is a Ruger Security 9 (uses a hammer, but functions similar to striker) Waiting for my M&P9c 2.0 to arrive. Also have an M&P40. Between those, and others I have all the bases covered.
Water over pop of any kind.
Android because that is what the company provides, oh, and that whole cult thing. LOL
