Fantastic. Too bad it's single action. You can pull all you want-it's not going shoot again.
Why? I've never shot one. I've seen them in some holsters though.
Question. Do you ever at least try to respond on here as if you're not a frickstick?
Obviously my comment has offended you. That wasn't my intent, and I apologize. I truly thought that someone with your post count (and apparent image as someone whose opinions about outdoor stuff carry weight), would have known some of this stuff.
Glocks are not single action. By any definition. No matter what some might wish to think.
They are not truly DAO, as I thought I had clarified adequately when I posted "Technically, the striker is partially cocked prior to pulling the trigger. Pulling the trigger fully cocks, and then releases, the striker." But they are essentially a DA pistol (or at least far more so than being a SA pistol), which is why ATF placed them in that category.
I really presumed, since you have posted a lot of comments about them and their trigger pulls, that you would be aware that Glock trigger pull could be adjusted. and that it takes only a few minutes.
Actually, I thought you were just joking when, in responding about why you think the Glock trigger is more dangerous than that of a revolver, you said " I would say the pull difference is the difference." I posted my comment about how easily the trigger pull can be changed for the benefit of those who might have taken your comment seriously.
Hopefully I just caught you on a bad day.
Have a good one.

A true double action semi auto does not need the slide to cock the hammer. If you have a misfire, and pull again, it's not going to fire.
Or, we could just read this and pretend we are those guys. LINK

Every handgun I've ever carried doesn't have any external safeties (Sig, Glock) and I haven't felt the least bit uncomfortable carrying them.

I'm not sure if that's supposed to be an insult
FWIW I would never "Mexican carry" a Glock, but a long as I have it in a good holster I'm good to go. Posted on 5/3/12 at 4:08 pm to Glock17
Just my opinion, but M&P have different concerns than Joe 6-pack and should own different systems.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

That really has little to do with the "action".
As noted above, I can't understand it for you.

Fortunately, I have a significantly different concept of great days.
Apparently, in your little world, if someone points out a erroneous statement, or an asinine opinion that is unsupported by any evidence, he is a "frickstick." I can't help you with your problem.

1. You seem to be all wrapped around the axle about "pulling the trigger again after a misfire." You also somehow, for some inexplicable reason, use "second strike capability" to define "double action."
2. I guess it goes without saying (but perhaps it bears noting) that a high post count does not equate to expertise. I'm sure you are knowledgeable about many things, but self defense handguns obviously isn't one of them.
3. If pulling the trigger were the proper course of action following a misfire, there are a lot of training academies around this country that could use your guidance. I can think of a dozen, off the top of my head, that are (according to your procedure) teaching it wrong.
4. I wish you would tell us where you learned that "double action trigger" is defined as one which provides "second strike" capability. Is this something you learned on TV, or from a gun ad? Some DA triggers do allow this -- others do not. Your definition is wrong -- unless have the standing to redefine the term. If so, you might want to start with Kahr Arms, and convince them (and a large segment of gun world) that Kahr pistols do not have DA triggers.
5. Despite your various misguided opinions and statements, you do seem to possess some debating skills. Perhaps you are an attorney, or were on your middle school debate team. In either case, a basic understanding of the facts would allow you to formulate more effective arguments. I doubt it would do much for what appears to be a practiced lack of civility, but that trait is often seen in internet commandos.

Your definitions are meaningless and make no sense. They make no difference whatsoever in these discussions. They are useful to show how much of an arrogant prick you are though.
It's amuzing to see someone who spends so much time with guns and in gun culture have so little common sense.
You'll be a frickstick in another gun topic when you can play your gotcha game of knowledge without actually spreading any.
Look. You're just not very smart. You've gone a long ways with guns and should be applauded for that. Here is just some guy who has never even shot any of these guns getting you so say ridiculous things. You're debating someone who has fired a pistol twice
The funniest part is, you don't even regognize the problem of classifying the "safe action". You act like there is some sort of coscensus. Yes, you're a frickstick.
