“”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.

From everything I have read about Glocks safe action, the striker is indeed held halfway cocked after the slide is operated, but held under safety so it can't move.

When the trigger is pulled, all 3 safeties are disengaged, and the striker is pulled the other half of its travel then released.

Being "half-cocked" is precisely why the Glock trigger feels better than a true DAO; it only has to do half the work of a DAO.
