Technically he’s correct. You can’t cock a striker fired gun which a Glock is.Uhh, what?
The internal striker on a Glock is cocked when the slide moves backward.Technically he’s correct. You can’t cock a striker fired gun which a Glock is.
It’s cocked from depressing the trigger not racking the slide. Racking the slide resets it, not cocks it.The internal striker on a Glock is cocked when the slide moves backward.
Not quite. Depressing the trigger only releases the striker, the slide moving rearwards pushes it back into the rearward position ready to be released again. The same way that on a single action the slide cocks the hammer and the trigger releases it.It’s cocked from depressing the trigger not racking the slide. Racking the slide resets it, not cocks it.
The trigger shoe built on the face of the trigger is what stops the trigger from being able to move rearward.That’s what makes the gun safe without an external safety.
You need to rack the slide to insert a round. Then you're off to the races.For you explanation to be correct the gun would never fire because it wouldn’t be in battery if the slide had to go back to cock it.
Whether or not the trigger resets from the slide moving backward is a manufacturer case by case basis. Many striker fired guns reset whether the slide move backward or not but you still don't get second fire capability because the slide needs to move rearward to reset the striker to a firing position.When the slide goes back on a striker fired semi auto it simply resets the trigger
You should hear the shit that comes out of Glock armorers.Guys and gun myths are a funny subject.
My fo fo make sho all yo kids don't growUhh, what?
You have so many things here that have nothing to do with what you or I posted before. You are adding and mixing things in.The trigger shoe built on the face of the trigger is what stops the trigger from being able to move rearward.

No offense, but you sound a lot like a Glock armorer.You have so many things here that have nothing to do with what you or I posted before. You are adding and mixing things in.
I stand by my previous posts 100% and what you stated before is 100% wrong.
A trigger safety isn’t thought of as an external safety BTW. You also described the way a Glock trigger safety works wrong.
I can’t think off the top of my head any striker fired pistol that resets the trigger without the slide being racked. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any I just can’t think of one. There are inserts to make this happen for practice dry firing with laser targets. Obviously no gun will fire without a chambered round.
No offense but you have NO understanding the way an internal striker fired pistol works. Why are you arguing with me when you are clearly wrong? .25 cent trigger jobs are also a myth. It takes diamond files and machine polishing to actually make a difference. Even than it shaves off a lb. Many Glock armorers can only repeat Glock gospel and think any aftermarket parts are bad. That isn’t true either.No offense, but you sound a lot like a Glock armorer.
Here's one. Notice how the trigger releases the firing pin and that it's reset on the slide moving backwards.There are animated gifs online to show EXACTLY how a glock operates. Maybe go watch one?
Notice the word "fully"? Yeah, that matters.3, the firing pin is fully cocked
Half cocked glock to your knotNotice the word "fully"? Yeah, that matters.
Really? Go back and read my posts where I actually pointed this out TWICE.Here's one. Notice how the trigger releases the firing pin and that it's reset on the slide moving backwards.
