Typically, the hammer strikes the firing pin which may fire a round, if there is a fresh round in the chamber. In older pistols, the hammer can hit the primer directly (the tip of the hammer has the firing pin on the end).
Which is better a hammer mounted firing pin or a frame mounted firing pin on a model 686 smith and Wesson?
, I have owned both; they are really equal, in terms of function. Some people prefer the older Smiths with the forged hammer and trigger and the firing pin mounted on the hammer nose; those same people don't seem to like the MIM (metal injection molding) parts on the newer Smiths. However, I believe both are fine and will give you a lifetime of service. I don't like the external, key-operated lock; but that is just a personal preference. I tend to like any Smith that doesn't have the external lock. Jim

What is the difference between striker and firing pin in pistols?
Both parts perform a similar function by hitting the primer and causing it to ignite the powder charge in the cartridge. However, they operate differently. A firing pin is driven forward by a blow from a hammer (or similar part in the firearm) which is, in turn, powered by a spring. A striker is driven forward by direct spring force, not by a blow from a hammer. In effect, it plays the part of both hammer and firing pin.
