Hello,
I am having some confusion about striker fired guns
on a gun with a hammer, you can either cock the hammer and pull the trigger, or just pull the trigger and the hammer will be raised and dropped
but im not understanding the 'cocking' process on striker fired,
when you put in a new magazine and rack the slide to put a round in the chamber, is it now 'cocked', as in the striker is back under pressure and a now lighter trigger pull will release it?
or is a striker fired gun never 'cocked' even if you rack the slide, that is that the striker is always 'released' until you pull the trigger no matter what, and pulling the trigger tensions and releases the striker
i was curious because, how would you decock a striker fired pistol, you would have to remove all the rounds and dry-fire it, and that cant be right??
I am interested in getting my first center fire gun, i was really liking the ruger sr9
