The Glock is striker fired. I believe it’s only partially cocked when you chamber a round and the safe action trigger fully cocks and releases the striker when pulled. The Colt has a short single action trigger.

So “partially cocked” means it can’t fire if dropped, hit with a sledge hammer, name your most unlikely scenario, etc?

I guess that makes sense. Must mean why a 1911 holster has a firing pin cover which is not practical for the Colt Mustang.
