I have considerable experience with guns, and I disagree that the benefit has much to do with speed. Instead, it's easier to shoot accurately with a short, light trigger pull than a long, heavy one. It's also easier to shoot subsequent shots accurately if the trigger pull is the same between every shot. Furthermore, it's easier to teach people to operate a gun if there are fewer states it can be in where it operates differently. I haven't seen data suggesting that striker-fired pistols that aren't defective have a higher rate of inadvertent discharge than hammer-fired pistols. People had that concern when the Glock became popular, but that was 1982 and it is not a common concern now.
