The CPX-1 is equipped with a slide stop and locks open when the last round is fired. [2] The handgun has an ambidextrous manual safety that is frame mounted. SCCY designed the pistol with an internal hammer and has a double action trigger pull. All parts of the CPX-1 pistol, except for the springs, are manufactured in-house by SCCY.
Striker-fired pistols, on the other hand, do not have a hammer, so the only way to return the trigger to its longer pull (safer) state is by means of a decocking or detensioning lever which actually releases the tension in the striker's spring without allowing firing pin full travel and internal safeties disengagement (such as the firing pin ...
The below are each hammer-fired semi-automatic pistols operating in double action / single action (DA/SA), with a decocker and without a manual safety, unless noted otherwise. As of January 2025 [update] , only the SP 2022 variant is still listed on the SIG Sauer website.
The Vis pistol is a single-action, hammer-fired, locked-breech design. The control on the slide is a decocking mechanism that releases the hammer while camming the firing pin up into the slide. There is a grip safety blocking the sear unless fully compressed, but the control in the same position as a thumb safety on a Browning Hi-Power or M1911 ...
Exposed two-piece hammer with spur. It uses a V1-type "light" Trigger Return Spring (TRS).

The pistol is hammer fired, as opposed to striker fired; this allows the pistol to be fired in either Single action or Double action mode. Its safety mechanism is based on the safety found on a M1911. It is possible to cock the hammer to the rear and engage the safety simultaneously to carry the weapon "cocked and locked".
The CDA aka LEM trigger is a dual-stage trigger that always fires from a hammer down DA mode, but has an internal mechanism that is cocked with each cycle of the action. It provides a cocked double-action trigger pull of 20 N (4.5 lb f ) (+4/-2 N) and an uncocked double-action trigger pull of 51 N (11.5 lb f ) (±5 N).
The T95 Standard models feature slide mounted hammer drop safety/decocker lever (ambidextrous as an option). Unlike most other semi-automatic pistols, the Tanfoglio Combat/Standard slide rides inside the frame rails rather than outside, similar to the SIG P210. This provides a very tight slide-to-frame fit, very good barrel lock-up and ...
