Half the Gun World Is Arguing… Nobody Explains This

About this video

Colion breaks down the four main firearm action types using FN pistols as examples. He explains the mechanical differences between striker-fired, single-action, double-action/single-action, and hybrid internal hammer systems, describing how each affects trigger feel and shooting performance. Colion argues these distinctions matter more for understanding consistency and control than most internet debates suggest.

Key takeaways

• Colion teaches that striker-fired guns offer the most consistency because every trigger pull feels identical, which is why he notes most police departments use them
• According to Colion, single-action triggers provide a crisp, performance-oriented pull because the hammer is already cocked and ready
• Colion explains that DA/SA pistols have a long, heavy first trigger pull followed by short, light subsequent pulls, offering what he describes as built-in safety with versatile follow-up capability
• Colion describes hybrid internal hammer systems as offering striker-like simplicity with hammer-fire precision in a compact package
