Fair answer. I tend to mostly hear how the new polymer framed, striker fired pistols have triggers that outclass the Glock trigger. They tend to do this by using fully tensioned strikers. With some of the issues cropping up with fully tensioned strikers in many of the newer striker fired offerings I'm beginning to form an opinion of two classes of striker fired guns more than an outclassing.
Since many of the fully tensioned strikers seem to be prone to releasing the striker with any significant impact, such as dropping, striking the pistol they may not be the "best in class" for defensive use. Take a breath and let me explain further, because I can already hear people saying "I don't drop guns." And "These guns don't just go off when dropped."
I"ll address the last statement first. Correct, not every fully tensioned striker fired pistol will go off if the sear releases due to a drop or a blow to the pistol. The striker block safety is there for a reason and as long as the trigger doesn't go rearward and deactivate that safety the gun will not fire, because the striker isn't contacting the primer. But if the sear releases the striker, you may have a dead trigger and not know it. It can be rectified by operating the slide just like an immediate action with any Failure to fire. But it is a second or seconds which could be critical, and depending on the altercation, next to impossible to perform.
For the, "I don't drop my guns" crowd. You either don't handle them enough in a day to day basis, haven't run hard enough with them, and have likely never been in a full contact fight with a firearm involved (not that any of that is a bad thing). There was a thread on another forum just about "I dropped my gun" stories. That site is mostly visited by LE, Military, Trainers and competitors. Not all if the stories were about their personal weapons, but they have seen holsters missed, retention devices not engaged, people tripping and falling while running in pursuit or just from competative stage firing point to another. They've been tackled and taken to the ground where a firearm gets slammed around a bit. Friends of mine who were deployed have been near IEDs and thrown to the ground, in rocket and mortar attacks, fallen into ditches or holes in the ground on night patrols. Basically there is an area where pistols absolutely can be subjected to severe impacts and even simple drops that can be from complacency just from handling them so much each day, to all out things beyond the operators control once a combative situation is encountered. I'm just asking folks to look outside the box they may exist in and would apply the statement "I don't drop my guns" to.
Does this mean I condemn fully tensioned striker fired pistols as the shooting market continues to clamour for the ultimate, light weight, short travel, crisp release and short reset trigger with no external safeties? Nope. Have what you want or need to shav those hundredths and tenth a of seconds of the split times on the shot timer. I'm just saying they MAY not be the best class for SERIOUS use. I may be wrong. But the P320 flap, whether it was justified fully or not, at least has me thinking and questioning where the "ultimate sweet striker fired trigger" fits in for handgunners.
