Striker vs hammer:

Striker fired is the current flavor du jour because the trigger pull is the same for every shot (big plus for most people), and it’s cheaper to manufacture. Can safely be carried cocked without a mechanical safety. Glock and most current plastic duty pistols.

Hammer fired (CZ-75, Beretta 92/M9, 1911). For all trigger pulls to be the same it needs to be carried cocked, and a manual safety is required. DA/SA pistols can be carried hammer down and safety off - but the first trigger pull will be very different than subsequent ones. That said, the single action trigger pull on a hammer gun is far superior to a striker pistol.

Strikers have gotten better over the years, and they are certainly good enough for self-defense, but for precision shooting there is no comparison. Hammer guns are overall more reliable, because they hit the primer with more energy (striker has less mass). With quality ammo it’s not an issue with striker pistols, but ammo with unusually hard primers or high performance, high pressure cartridges that use small rifle primers (9x23 Winchester) will always be hammer fired guns.

Striker guns like the Glock are easier to master with far less training, which is why police and military have adopted them in the last few decades. Hammer guns, once mastered, can outperform especially in accurate shooting at longer ranges - but police and military don’t have the budget to train to that extent for the grunts, who are going to be using a rifle anyway. A civilian however is probably not going to have a rifle just going to town in daily life, so having the capability to make longer shots, 25-50 yds, is not unnecessary in my opinion.

I recommend any quality .22 pistol (or revolver) and a case of ammo (5,000 rds) The CZ, S&W, Colt, Ruger, Walther, etc.

Man, I do love revolvers too. Best way to learn trigger control is to learn to shoot a double action revolver.

With handguns, the most overlooked factor is fit and ergonomics. What size are your hands? Some pistols are more customizable than others as far as grip size. Borrow or rent some at the range to see what you like.

What are you doing with it? Will you be carrying it every day, learning to shoot, shooting IDPA…all these play a role.

If you are just starting, and you want to learn to shoot better than 99% of police officers, learn with a .22 (that’s my advice, as a firearms instructor and life long pew pew enthusiast)

CZ-85 combat (similar to the 75 but no firing pin block) fitted with CZ Kadet .22 barrel. 10 shots at 25 yds, Federal Automatch (disregard the larger caliber holes, I was sighting in another rifle)

CZ-75 all day long. Buy a CZ Kadet (slide/barrel for .22) and it fits on your cz75 frame. I have one that will shoot 2” 5 shot groups at 25 yds (iron sights). The cz-75 is just as accurate with the 9mm barrel.

If you want to REALLY learn to shoot, buy a case of .22 ammo and practice all the fundamentals before going to a centerfire handgun. You will learn them much better and you will be able to shoot everything from .22s to .475 linebaugh better having done the PoW

Technically…number go up.

Power Law seems to fit very well.

Bitcoin isn’t something you should trade. Just like trading in and out of Argentine pesos or Zimbabwe dollars is a losing bet, so is trading in and out of any other Fiat. Get rid of Fiat, buy Bitcoin…it sounds too simple compared to what we grew up with, but there it is.

Looks like Titan…flavor is still good though not as good as Premiere
