The relatively long trigger pull is required to move an internal cross-track safety on the firing pin and to move the firing pin far enough back to compress the firing pin spring so it will move forward with adequate force to fire the cartridge.

The only way to fire a Glock is to pull the trigger - a long way.

Now, to the larger point: WHAT KIND OF IDIOT TAKES A GUN TO BED WITH HIM?

I love it when someone uses his head for something other than a hat rack
