I just can't wrap my head around striker fired pistols. Why would you want a pistol that looks the same no matter what state the action is in. Give me a 3rd gen Smith or Beretta 92 any day, at least I can tell instantly whether or not it's live. To me the whole striker deal is a cost saving method for manufacturers, which they have not passed on to the buyer. Whenever you come in contact with any firearm, point in a safe direction, keep your finger off the trigger, drop mag, rack slide or open cylinder, and never trust any safety device.
Glock tells you instantly if it is cocked. If the trigger is sitting in the middle of the trigger guard it is cocked, and if it is sitting flush to the back of the trigger guard - then it is not cocked. XD's and M&P's don't do that, which is another reason I don't suggest them.
