What "ignition system" do you most often use?

Pretty much what the title says.

I know that for most of us, our "favorite" would be a single action semi-auto, but we end up, out of personal choice or work restrictions, carrying something else.

So, what do you end up carrying most often?

    I was trained to shoot a DA/SA revolver SA; so that is what I do.

    Double Action/Single Action
    I've always liked the DA/SA choice. 99% of the time I'm shooting them SA. Just to get more intimate with my revolvers and because I don't carry "Lock & Cocked", I'm currently working on bringing that precentage down.

    Flintlock! It puts a lot of incentive on the shooter to make the first shot count!

    I'm mostly a DA/SA guy. Most of my pistols (Sig, HK, & Ruger) are DA/SA.

    My PPS is striker fired, and I don't own any SA pistols except for my 22/45.

    I use a factory installed ignition system now ... but if I had the option I'd go with the one of the ProComp Motorsports systems ... they run atleast double the voltage of factory sytems.

    Oh you mean weapons ... 1911 here so SA for me.

    I only carry the 1911 right now, but my next purchase (planned, anyway) will be a DA/SA semi-auto. I just like having one around with higher capacity and lighter initial weight.

    Striker Fired
    I'm not too fussy about triggers, so I seem to be favoring striker fired, lately. At the moment, I'm partial to my 'new' Kahr K-40.

    For me it's

    1) SA (1911) or S&W 29 Revolver about 40% / 40% with
    2) Striker (Glock) about 20% of the time maybe.

    My work piece is a Glock and my normal CCW is a Glock. So, by default, striker-fired.
