[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 1384618, member: 436"] Glocks are neither single action nor double action only. They are striker fired where the striker is partially cocked. The trigger pull completes the cocking and then fires. The trigger pull is very long, though you can, with practice, learn to release the trigger part way between shots to reduce the distance the trigger has to move for each shot after the first. The pull is not heavy like a double action revolver. That said, a Glock's trigger is not designed to maximize accuracy. You will never get the crisp feel of a well made single action trigger. A concealed carry gun is likely to be small and light and, as Zilla said, mostly used at very close range. The trigger is not going to make a lot of difference in a close encounter as long as you practice and know what to expect when you pull that trigger. A target gun is a different story. For that you want the trigger to be clean and crisp so that the gun moves as little as possible as you squeeze. Like motorcycles, there is no gun that is best for all situations and applications. You need more than one. [/QUOTE]
