Here are some videos of an actual cutaway Glock. The second vid is of the striker.

The striker is the firing pin. It has a spring around its shaft. As you pull the trigger, the striker is pulled back against the spring and at some point released to fly forward and ignite the round. It's basically just like a ZIP gun if you know what I mean.
