Is it really DAO

I bought a G20 at a gun show a few weeks ago and it is a great gun. I always refrained from buying a Glock because they were DAO. Now that I've shot it, I love it. But is this really DAO. Seems like it's more of a hammerless SAO. When I think DA, I think of my double/single auto and my revolver, where a full pull of the trigger cocks and fires the gun. The Glock is more like my Mk2 where the slide must be racked, then the gun is ready to fire, and it can not be decocked except by pulling the trigger. Anyone else think this is a bit of a misnomer?
