No. Strictly speaking, Glocks are "safe-action" which is a Glock proprietary term. Glocks are neither double action nor single action. They have attributes of both types.

To turn your tanfoglio gt380 into a double action pistol can take a lot of work. You will have to buy a lot of different parts and a lot of time to make this work.
A double action pistol that chambers a .380 ACP round. AKA 9mm Kurz
A single action pistol, such as the 191A1 .45 Auto, requires that the hammer be cocked before the first shot. A Double Action pistol does not need to have the hammer cocked- pulling the trigger causes the hammer to rise and fall. Some are DAO- Double Action Only- the hammer cannot BE cocked, and must be fired from a "hammer down" position. These include the Para-Ordnance LDA pistols.
Double action
Look at the back of the breech. If there isn't a hammer, it's hammerless. Hammers are those things that stick up at the back of the barrel. On a single action gun you have to cock them (pull them back) before you pull the trigger. Pulling the trigger cocks and releases the hammers on a double action. All the firing mechanism is inside a hammerless gun.
single action pistol means that the hammer has to be cocked back in order to fire. double action means you merely have to pull the trigger back and the gun will fire. some double action guns can be fired single action or double action.
