[QUOTE="inactive, post: 848476, member: 7488"] Striker-fired pistols can have their action work in a variety of ways. As described in the link above, the XD is a single-action; the striker is fully cocked and the trigger simply engages the sear release the striker. A Glock is neither double- nor single-action. At rest, the striker is at a half-cock. Engaging the trigger completes cocking the striker and then releases it to fire the pistol. The older Taurus 24/7 was a double-action only pistol, wherein the trigger fully cocked the striker and released it all in the trigger pull. [B][I][I][U]To confuse matters even more[/U][/I][/I][/B], newer 24/7 pistols operate as double-action/single-action pistol; the uncocked pistol requires a double-action first pull but the striker is fully cocked after each firing, meaning subsequent shots are single action. So no telling what action one may have if buying used :) The other stiker-fired pistols (S&W Sigma and M&P, Ruger SR9, Walther P99 and PPS, to name a few) operate using any of the various actons listed above.
