Rost Martin RM1C

Yes, the design was out. But then suppose you consider PSA Dagger (when it was introduced). It's a Glock 19, design been out for a while, should be good to go, right? OR IS IT?

Arex makes the gun for them though. Internals and slides swap. Basically a different grip module and slide cut.

My Daggers have been good .. but I left them stock .. which .. usually if you find a Glock with problems.. they have been messed with .. owners “ enhance them “

Needs SCD.

Needs SCD.

While not as good, it does have the ability to thumb the back of the striker as it sticks out the back of the slide plate like a PPS

Can the striker travel be stopped, or only sensed?

It can be stopped, but it’s right at the edge of dropping the striker and you have to put a good amount of force on it.

I wonder if a longer striker that is flush when the trigger is at rest, a chamfered witness hole or both are practical? The SCD is what finally made me 100% comfortable with Glock.

I have a PPS and for me at least, the protruding striker feature is enough of the SCD benefit to make the striker gun work when I otherwise gravitate to SAO with a safety or true DA. Frankly I think every striker gun in the world should A) use a partially tensioned striker and B) have this feature from the factory.

I know the SCD can be used to physically block the striker, but I don’t know that I’d depend on it for that. I’d be inclined to treat it and the PPS/Arex system both (and thumbing external hammers for that matter) as detection features only.
