It is also striker-fired, like a Glock pistol. The Mauser M2 was intended for the civilian concealed carrying market in the US. It was designed with the legalities of the time in mind, like low capacity magazine, magazine disconnect safety and manual safety (located on the rear of the grip).
Manual Safeties are the oldest forms of "active" safety mechanism and are widely used; however, many "double-action" firearms such as revolvers do not have manual safeties as the longer, harder trigger pull to cock and fire double-action provides adequate trigger safety, while keeping the firearm in a more ready state.
The SR9 is the first large-caliber striker fired pistol designed and manufactured by Sturm Ruger. [2] Similar to Glock's "safe action", the striker fired SR9 features a pre-set trigger. With this type of action, the striker is partially cocked when the slide is cycled, then is fully cocked and released when the trigger is pulled. [2]
A drop safety which prevents the sear from rotating to release the striker unless the trigger is pulled.

[11] As a fifth safety feature, the FNS pistols can also have an optional manual safety.
The Hellcat is a striker-fired handgun with a stainless steel slide.

When the trigger is pulled in the double-action-like mode, the striker is retracted then dropped, firing the gun. This allows the shooter to safely carry a round in the chamber and fire immediately as the double-action trigger eliminates the need for cocking prior to shooting. A manual safety is provided.
