What goes around comes around. Maybe the firearms community will listen to voices of reason now that there is a big striker fired problem out there.
I also can't resist pointing out that before Glock we had a striker fired pistol with a 3.5 pounds factory trigger and no safety problems: the HK P7.

Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
Is a DA/SA with a 5lb DA and a 2lb SA really safer than a striker with a 6lb trigger?
What if it's a two stage striker trigger (like a Glock)?
In the end, dumb people are attracted to firearms. There's always going to be negligence.
Who makes a 5 lb da and 2 lb sa from the factory? Or maybe asking who builds a non gamer gun with that trigger? I still believe having a longer da pull is better then a shorter striker. Also I have seen a couple comparisons of striker vs da that had similar lengths of pull. The da has a consistent weight of pull through the travel. Hence why some guys like the rolling break. Vs a striker has barely any weight through the travel until the break.
So you may have the same weight in the break itself. But you have a 1/2 inch of 6 lbs vs 1/16 inch of 6 lbs.

That doesn't really work for competitions. You're going to turn the person loose and send them off to wander the range once you've cleared them, and many of the holsters used in competition won't reliably secure the pistol with the slide locked back.
The competition method of pulling the trigger works exactly as it's supposed to. Including when the gun still goes bang.
My point wasn't to say otherwise, only to point out that very often "cleared" guns, aren't, and the only way to know for sure is to pull the trigger.
In fact, this is why I always had shooters with DA guns pull the trigger and not simply decock, as the latter misses the entire point.
