The glock striker is not under tension until the trigger is pulled.

Didn't say it was under tension.

“”The glock striker is not under tension until the trigger is pulled.””
“Didn’t say it was under tension.”

By definition a half cocked gun has it’s hammer under tension and is prevented from firing only by the half cock notch. By analogy, for a glock to be half cocked the striker would have to be under tension.

Exactly.

Who cares about "tension" except the amount of "tension" required to trip the sear. And as you know, my preference for my DA/SA Sigs is the long stroke DA @ 10.5#s .For me, that design is my safety with one in the pipe... (with successive at 4-4.5#).

I would not feel comfortable carrying my Glock; and thus has been relegated as my home office defense weapon.
