Folks, striker fired guns are usually cheaper, especially plastic 20 shooters. I can't see anything better about them as for reliability. Think about it, the 1911 pistol for example, and for rifles, M1, M 16 etc have hammers as do O/U shotguns, pumps and semis. Heck, look how long a S&W revolver lasts.
Don't be brainwashed by the folks who sell cheap plastic guns.
There's nothing about hammer or striker fired that mandates polymer framed or not. There are hammer fired polymer framed pistols, quite a few and a number that are not "cheap" (see HK). There are also striker fired metal framed pistols, see the Luger and P7. The use of polymer absolutely reduces the cost of the end firearm, but there are also pistols that have polymer frames that have gone tens or hundreds of thousands of rounds. Are they really inferior?
