One thing to add, which was said, but maybe not quite this clearly:

Striker-fired designs are almost only consistent trigger pulls. This means every time you fire the gun, whether it was the first or the last shot, will feel exactly the same. Hammer-fired guns are often DA/SA, meaning the first shot will be different than the second as described above.

There are exceptions to both. The Walther P99 AS trigger is a DA/SA striker design. But Glock, M&P, XD, etc all have consistent striker-fired trigger pulls. Again you can search the subject of striker vs. hammer, but the consistent trigger pull of a striker-fired gun, without them being long and heavy, is one of the biggest selling points IMO.
