Cocked means ready to fire. In a gun with an exposed hammer, that means it's quite visible. Round chambered in a Glock means it's cocked.
But when I use a SERPA, the gun can have the slide open and still be 100% retained in the holster. Not so with a Safariland.
And in a Glock, when you rack the slide back, you are puling back the firing pin and it's retainer. When you pull the trigger, you release the retainer, and the firing pin (more like a firing spring really), gets released. Pull the slide off a Glock and you'll see. You can release the retainer manually, even though the manual says not to.
