He said in the video it's a "single action, striker fired", which would mean the striker is fully cocked as a round is chambered. Kind of like a Rem 700 rifle, et al in that respect. You don't want a safety mechanism there? Help me to understand the difference in safety issues between a cocked striker and a cocked hammer. It would seem to me that the striker, if any, is more in need of some kind of safety mechanism. -- LyleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-9261490066603995082011-01-19T16:12:32.724-05:002011-01-19T16:12:32.724-05:00Wait, which old eastern-block nearly-failed design...Wait, which old eastern-block nearly-failed design was this adopted from?<br /><br />Or did Kimber go out on a limb and actually design a new gun?<br /><br />I wish I could see a rear-view to see how far out the wing-looking thumb safeties protrude.Mike Shttp://harqueb.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-8245712129870836052011-01-19T15:59:50.301-05:002011-01-19T15:59:50.301-05:00Anon 1:42 PM:

MSRP is $725, so it's a contender.

The Sig 290 is a bit heavier an looks to have the ergos of the proverbial brick. This looks well fit with no sharp edges. Single-action might be a detractor for some considering intended use.<br /><br />If the price isn't astronomical, I might have to consider this one.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16207808793722026516noreply@blogger.com
