“Glocks come standard with a 5 1/2 pound trigger pull weight, which is typically half as much for guns in double action mode. This is a striker fired system and is tantamount to being half cocked.”

This is a common misconception. The glock striker is not under tension until the trigger is pulled. It is not at all cocked until then.

Didn't say it was under tension.
