5. striker-the part of a mechanical device that strikes something. clapper, tongue-metal striker that hangs inside a bell and makes a sound by hitting the side. firing pin-striker that ignites the charge by striking the primer. hammer-a striker that is covered in felt and that causes the piano strings to vibrate. hammer, cock-the part of a gunlock that strikes the percussion cap when the trigger is pulled.
In other pistol models, such as Springfield XD or Smith & Wesson M&P models, the striker is already held at full spring pressure when it is cocked. From the above images, we see that hammer fired mechanisms use a rotational force to detonate the primer, whereas striker fired mechanisms use a linear force to do it.
