It is a half and half.  Part of the force needed to compress the striker 
spring is obtained by racking the slide back about 1/2".  The rest is obtained 
from the trigger pull.

It is a bit mushy, with some overtravel, but I do not consider it to be "bad".
I prefer a nice clean 4 pound 1911A1 trigger, thought . . .

There is a stiffer "new york" trigger unit (made up for the NYC Transit 
Authority folks, I believe), and a target unit that only comes with the 
19L (compensated) model.  They will not sell it as an accessory.

Sort of half cocked.

# Is there an internal striker / hammer?  or is the firing pin fired only using
# a spring. 

There is a striker, contained in the slide.  There is no hammer in the frame
of the gun.

# Is the firing stroke (i.e. trigger pull) the same from shot to shot (esp.
# 1st shot to 2nd) or does it change?

It does not change.  Very consistant.

# Is there a good book that describes the glock's action?

There is a Glock book out there, but I do not know its title.

# What is a summary of the different models?

17  - full sized 9mm, 17 rounds
17L - full sized 9mm with comp, target trigger unit, 17 rounds
19  - chopped 9mm, 15 rounds
20  - full sized 10mm, 15 rounds
21  - full sized .45ACP, 13 BIG rounds
22  - full sized .40S&W, 15 rounds
23  - chopped .40S&W, 13 rounds

I would like to see them make a chopped .45ACP model.  Anyone know if there 
are plans for such?
