In order for the trigger to reset the slide has to "cock" or reset the striker.
How is this any different then a single action BHP or 1911 with the exception that they have external hammers?
A true double action semi auto does not need the slide to cock the hammer, if you dry fire a Berretta 92 and then pull the trigger without operating the slide the hammer cocks and releases itself. That is a true double action trigger. The slide does not need to operate or hammer pulled back manually to cock and fire the weapon.
I know glock calls their pistols "safe action", but this almost sounds like a marketing strategy to get around police department bans on single action autos.
