Why do some pistols have a double trigger?

Double-action triggers provide the ability to fire the gun whether the hammer is cocked or uncocked. This feature is desirable for military, police, or self-defense pistols.

Why are there two triggers?

A double-stage trigger requires two separate “pulls,” or mechanical actions, before the sear can release the firing pin. To oversimplify things, it means that the sear is held at two points instead of one, and unless both are released, the rifle can’t go bang.

What is trigger reset on a Glock?

The trigger reset is the point at which the trigger and the sear are re-engaged and the pistol can be fired again. The reset is measured in distance of trigger travel.
