Many of the very small auto pistols are made in both 22 rimfire and .25 ACP. They use a common slide that can be used for either. When used for the .25 ACP, it uses a firing pin in the center hole (.25 ACP is center fire cartridge)

What is a striker system in a handgun?
In older guns....and most guns that people think of when they think of a handgun or rifle, there is a "hammer" and a "firing pin". When the trigger is pulled, the hammer is released and it strikes the firing pin which in turn strikes the primer on the cartridge, firing the round in the chamber. With a striker fired gun, there is no hammer. The striker, which is basically a spring loaded firing pin, is released, doing the job of the firing pin and hitting the primer on the round in the chamber. These guns have become very common, and you will find examples of a striker fired system in all Glocks, Springfield XD's, S&W M&P's, Taurus 24/7, etc.
