I can understand how a striker-fired pistol can be single action (S/A) because the striker can be cocked by the slide when you first chamber a round and then it is cocked by the slide again after each shot like every other single action auto or SA/DA autos such as the PPK, P38, or the Beretta M9.
I can also see how, with a S/A striker fired pistol. a slide lock safety would be desirable so that a single action striker-fired and slide cocking pistol could be carried cocked and locked even though I tend to think that it should also have a grip safety if it is to be carried in this mode.
I can also understand why the new Ruger LC9 is a DAO Pistol with an additional slide lock safety just to keep all the bed-wetters happy, and to avoid going to a Glock-type trigger safety even with a long S/A pull.
And st the same time i can also see how it would be a big advantage to have a true striker fired S/A because a true striker fired S/A would not require a beavertail on the grip safety to hook on clothing or compromise maximum concealability
But I do NOT understand why a pistol would have a long trigger pull that broke at SEVEN POUNDS if it is a Single Action pistol with what appears to be a DA Only trigger. I mean What The Hell?
Can any one explain to me in detail how a gun like this solo 9 which appears to be a single action with a long trigger pull for each shot actually functions?
Or if it can actually be carried cocked and locked, then wouldn't the trigger move to the rear in S/A position. OR, is this actually a DA/SA pistol like the Beretta M9?
It seems to me like this must be a totally new mechanism unlike anything that's eve existed. My opinion is that if you have Either SA cocked & Locked or DAO that's about as good as it gets and it's really only SA/DA that leaves a lot to be desired. The late Col. Cooper use to refer to them as "Crunchentickers".
