Glock doesn't really fit either, but in real operation is much closer to a single action.

No.

Does a glock trigger perform more than a single action when pulled?

Don't they have a bunch of internal safeties that it trips as well? Probably closer to a triple action than double really.

Not the case.

I have a couple of factory "cut-away" Glocks (non-firing training pistols that I use in my classes) that allow you to see the internal movement of every component. The next time if you're in BR, call me and I'll be glad to let you examine the internal components as the trigger is pulled -- compression of the striker spring is clearly visible.

As DS&FI has mentioned, pulling the trigger also deactivates the three internal safeties. The cut-away pistols allow you to see this as well. As he so eloquently put it, the Glocks are actually TAO pistols.

ETA video showing cut-away Glock -- watch from 3:34 - 3:54 mark. LINK
