Glaciers - Any update?
As for an exposed hammer - Unless you're talking about a single action auto, and even there it's questionable, I'm not sure there's any safety to be gained with an exposed hammer. This is one area where the striker fired pistols with passive firing pin safeties excel. You get a lightweight trigger pull with a passive firing pin safety. And if you go with a Glock pattern, you also get a striker that is only partially tensioned when the trigger is not depressed. The Glock action cannot fire with a partially tensioned striker and the striker/firing pin cannot move fully forward unless the trigger is fully depressed. It doesn’t get any simpler or safer than that.Looking at 380s
Want exposed hammer because of the ability to keep one in the chamber and have hammer down or at 1/4 cock (safety).
Want no more than 24 oz. weight (empty) with mag
Grip safety would be a plus
