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.
Striker-fired is a somewhat nebulous term. The striker is a rod that connects with the primer and discharges a round, which is otherwise called a firing pin. That said, what makes striker-fired pistols popular is there's no hammer to cock and trigger pull is often light. Unlike double-action or double/single action pistols in double action mode, which usually require close to ten pounds of pressure to break, trigger pull in such pistols is closer to five pounds.
