This was almost certainly the Glock model 27, .40 caliber in a VERY small
package. I used to carry one everywhere I went (legally! I had a Washington
State Concealed pistol license at the time).

Actually, Glocks require a full trigger pull (double action) only on the
first round fired. after that it is only a small (single action) pull, till
the magazine is empty, and the slide locks open.
NOTE: I may sound like I'm on my GLOCK soapbox right now, but it is a
common misnomer about GLOCK handguns that they "have NO safety". Actually,
they have a three-step safety mechanism to insure that they DO NOT fire
unless the trigger has been squeezed. A (foolhardy) friend of mine once
loaded his GLOCK model 23, cycled a round into the chamber, and threw it
onto his concrete floor repeatedly, and could not cause it to fire...
Although neither I nor anyone ELSE I know would try something so dangerous
(except for THAT guy), I would say that GLOCK's safety mechanism works.
