Glock is the most commonly-identifed SFA pistol these days.

No hammer, no "single action". The trigger pull pushes the striker back inside the slide, compressing the striker spring until it reaches full compression, then the striker slips past the trigger to hit the primer.

I was gonna ask if its a sigma replacement and if so if they toned down the trigger action.

So they called the Sigma a Swock, because it so closely resembled a Glock.

We can call this one the Swigma, because it looks like a Sigma.
