Who has CCP and willing to tell about it?

1b = wrong. The striker is not locked back into firing position. It may be partially cocked but it is NOT in firing position and if it were to be dropped and the firing pin released would not fire the weapon. Glocks and other striker fired pistols are neither double action nor single action. Not only is it NOT in the firing position, Glock has a "drop safety" on top of the trigger safety and firing pin safety. Redundancy helps prevent any misfires no matter the circumstances. Read this. http://us.glock.com/technology/safe-action Don't know why you won't listen to anyone but there is nothing but facts backing my statements. Believe me or not I do not care, just want people to be fed the truth and not misinformation by someone that does not fully understand the function of a specific firearm.

Ok, after a bit of digging, I'll partially concede. Glocks aren't fully cocked, only 95%...(nearly positive they're one of the only ones like that though, XDs is similar but XD/XDm are fully cocked).

But, that isn't what keeps them from accidental discharge, that's the firing pin safety.
See 2b. It's the exact same on an XD. The system can be fully cocked, but until the trigger is pulled, there is a safety that blocks the path of the firing pin. Your link says it too.

The spring-loaded firing pin safety projects into the firing pin channel and mechanically blocks the firing pin from moving forward. When the trigger is being moved rearwards, a vertical extension of the trigger bar pushes the firing pin safety upwards, clearing the firing pin channel. During the slide cycling process, the firing pin safety automatically reengages.

I'm *not* saying that you can drop it and have it go off, quite to the contrary, glock and XD both are nearly impossible to make fire if they aren't having their trigger pulled.

All I have against glocks (at least functionally, I **hate** their ergonomics) is that the trigger is the key to all of the safeties being overridden. If something gets caught in the trigger guard and moves the trigger through the motion of firing, the gun will go off. Unlike XD's who use a trigger safety (and all the rest like glock) but also have a grip safety which unblocks the trigger, enabling you to override the other safeties with a trigger pull. FN who either uses a decocker or a physical safety. 1911's that use a physical safety. S&W I haven't looked into, but, I believe they come in two varieties, a glock-style trigger only, or one that can be configured with either a physical safety or decocker...
