   Have you ever seen a Glock?  I ask because, if you had you'd know that a 
Glock is never cocked, and cannot be cocked as cocked is taken to mean in the 
case of, say, a 1911 - and there is no meaning to the phrase 'cocked and 
locked' in the case of a Glock because it does not reach full cock until the 
end of the trigger stroke.
   The Glock pistols are all (with the possible exception of the 18, which is 
never seen over here) Double Action Only, striker-fired pistols.  That means 
they have no hammer, have the same trigger stroke for each firint cycle, and 
cannot be manually cocked as one would cock a 1911.
   'Cocked all the time' in the case of a Glock, is an impossibility.
