    Ambi Slide Release Striker-Fire Pistol

    Just outta curiosity
    What are the striker-fire pistols with ambi slide catch out there?

    All I can think of now are
    Walther PPQ
    HK VP series
    SW M&P series
    Sig P320
    FN FNS series
    Ruger American Pistol
    Taurus 24/7 G2 series
    and soon to be released Beretta APX pistol

    It seems like a trend for newly released striker-fire pistols to have ambi controls. Glock started having reversible mag release on GEN 4. Maybe ambi slide release on GEN 5?

      Other than the ones already mentioned no other polymer striker fired guns matter anyway

        The US Army requires ambi controls on their new sidearm. Modular, striker fired, rails and adjustable grips.

              This is what he's referring to. The next generation of american military sidearm is likely to be a striker fire pistol with ambidextrous controls. To enter the system ambi controls is one of the requirements while striker firing is not but it makes the most sense to go with striker fire pistol since its cost effective and less parts to maintain.

                Technically, the HK P7 series has an ambi slide release. Squeeze the cocking lever with either hand, and the slide is dropped. The manual slide locking tab however is only on the left side. No longer made, and not an option for most due to current cost, but I always gotta get a P7 plug in wherever appropriate

                  Add one more - Sar Arms ST9
                  Not yet available in the US but it's striker fired and completely ambidextrous
