Someone please correct me if I’m wrong but a stryker fired weapon won’t have a trigger pull and go “click” if there is no round in the chamber.

Yes it will.

Depends on the firearm. My striker-fired Glocks will go “click” once, but require cycling the slide to reset the trigger.

On my S&W Shield .45, the striker is placed into firing position by the slide pulling it back as it moves rearward.
As the slide comes forward the sear catches the striker and holds it in position, ready to fire.
Pulling the trigger simply disengages the sear from the striker and allows the striker to be pulled by the spring into the impacting the primer.
If there is no round in the chamber the mechanism still operates.
But you would need to rack the slide to restart the cycle.
