...you say either, I say neither, lets call the whole thing off...

Seriously, the DA/SA/none of the above classification is probably because BATF does not have an additional category??

Really liked the shotgun research by txinvestigator though and would like to see more of that kind of stuff

We knew that...

In the sense of single or double actions - Glock (and real clones) are neither. The striker ('firing pin') is partially cocked by the slide when the first round is racked an then again by succeeding shots. The rest of the 'cock' is completed by the trigger as it is pulled rearward until release. I think some Glock look likes (no external hammer visible) actually have the capability of an internal cocking (like single action) and a decocker (for double action) - Walther makes one I think.

I don't have a concern at all with my Glock(s). I believe there is enough data out there that tends to show that the Glocks will not fire unless you tug on the bang switch - and only then if the trigger safety is depressed first. The other safeties will prevent drop discharges etc. Always keep it stoked with one chambered and the magazine full. Just remember to practice keeping that finger off the switch until you are dang sure whatever it is that is being targeted needs destroying. If you are not comfortable with having a round chambered - don't put one in there until you are. Practice with an UNLOADED weapon on acquisition and racking the first round to see if you can do it comfortably. If you do start carrying the gun hot - then never forget that you have one in the pipe when removing the magazine and clearing for night-night. I sure don't understand you unloading your weapon at night though - I would never do that unless there was another one that is the home defense tool. I still believe in a single weapon (or multiples of the same brand) so you don't have to fumble with remembering where safeties area, is one round up and ready, etc. Unless of course you have a great little stagecoach handy...
