I wish it were hammered, SA/DA and had a tactile feel loaded chamber indicator. Seems like everything is striker fired these days. It's hard to beat the crispness of a SA (cocked hammer) when first shot accuracy counts.
One of my favorite carry pistols ever is a Sig P230. SA/DA, chamber indicator, decocker, thin and incredibly accurate for a small pistol (maybe due to the fixed barrel straight blowback design). If someone was to refine that pistol by going to 9mm and trimming some weight, I think you'd really have something unique.
I really like a hammer too. Twenty plus years ago I carried a berretta centurion 40 and I shot well with it. A few years ago I bought an FNx 40 that shoots really well too. My next purchase will likely be a FNx tactical 45. Need to get one while the rebate is running. I'm not usually a Taurus fan but they have a 10mm with a hammer coming out that I'll likely try too.
Best I can tell from the the shooting times article and some you tube vids they are saying it is made in Dallas. But some of the design was done with Arrex maybe? This is a interview with the woman co-owner. She tells a little about the company. She mentions vendors to keep the price point down. Edit: It uses P10 mags which I think is a good thing.

Shadow Systems Glock clones are made in Plano Texas. The web sight claims in house manufacturing. They are not cheap though.
Staccato's are made in Florence Texas most of the pistol is made in house. It is a expensive pistol. I have a C2. The perfect carry gun for me. I am a 1911 guy who carries a Glock and I have really struggled with its trigger. Now I can have my cake and eat it too with the Staccato C2. A glock 19 size 16 shooter that has a 1911 trigger.
Bond arms makes derringers in Granbury Texas.
I'm sure there are other firearms that are made in Texas. I think Mossberg Mavericks are made in Eagle Pass. Shilen barrels used to make a DGA rifle. There was a premium rifle made in the '80s called a Alpha Arms.
Seams like Mitchell Arms made pistols in the Houston Area.
