It's not single action cuzz pulling the trigger does more than a single action; it fully cocks the partially cocked striker and releases it.
Why the BATF considers it DAO (double action only) and the NIJ (National Institute of Justice) SFA (striker fired action).
The Glock is the perfect gun for perfect people; I guess you aren't perfect?
If it doesn't fit you, find something else that does. Lottsa good guns out there, the Glock may not be the best for you.

Who cares what it's called? Just keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot.
As I understand it, Glock mags were originally designed not to drop free, because Austrian (and mostly European) military doctrine says hold onto that magazine, you may need to reload it in combat. American doctrine says get rid of it as fast as possible and put a new one in. If this is true, then I suspect that the reason the so-called "drop-frees" really don't is that, as in many pistols, modifications to the original design are often made less than enthusiastically or completely.

p.s. That really sucks if they won't let you use what you want and the Glock doesn't fit your hand well. Maybe you should try one of the differently sized Glocks, e.g., if they're issuing you a 17, try a 19, a 34, or a 26. They're all 9mm, but different sizes, weights, and barrel lengths.
Just had to play around a little tonight:

Again, thanks for the advice. I think I will try the Ayoob method; it is still wrapping the finger, but maybe it will work. BTW they issued us G-22's and we are not allowed to modify the weapon. So that is what I am stuck with for the time being. I will have to "Adapt and overcome" as one of my instructors used to say.
I can agree that Glocks are not SA,DA, or DAO.
Sadly, I am not perfect
355sigfan, I agree with you about the trigger pull. I love the trigger pull, it is so much like a single action; the only thing that ruins the trigger for me is the safety. I will have to adapt and overcome.

Vanboy,
As I understand it, when the Glock's slide runs home, the striker is "pre-tensioned" (pre-cocked) by about 60%. The other 40%, plus the striker release, is done by pulling the trigger...

Beware the man with the S&W .357 Mag.
Chances are he knows how to use it.

I stumbled upon Ayoobs method myself. As a beginner I was using the pad of my finger and consistenly was off the mark because of various implications of that method, mainly "milking" the grip and causing the shots to go low to the left. I also had high and to the left etc. I decided after some dry fire practicing that the muzzle seemed much more steady when I tried to get more finger on the trigger. I went as far as passed the first joint into the part between the two joints and that seemed to improve the trigger pull significantly. Now with the input from Ayoob, who I have heard of often, I feel that I was on the right track. Im going to bring my finger back slightly to the first joint from the tip and see how it works in my next session.
