What Is a Safe Action Glock?

Glock’s Trigger Safely

• The only observable safety is the small switch located on the leading edge of the trigger. This safety must be pulled back for the trigger to continue rearward. The trigger safety prevents accidental trigger pull caused by forces other than the shooter’s trigger finger.

Glock’s Firing Pin Safety

• Located between the pistol’s firing pin and the chamber is a steel pin that impedes the firing pin from accidentally striking the bullet in the chamber. The firing pin safety retracts as the trigger is pulled and immediately returns to position when the trigger is released.

Glock’s Drop Safety

• Glock pistols also have a safety to prevent accidental discharge resulting from a high impact. Glock guns feature internal safety ramps that prevent the trigger from moving unless deliberately pulled. The purpose of the safety is to prevent the weapon from firing if dropped.

Glock’s Safety Procedures

• The ultimate safety on a Glock pistol is a responsible shooter. Unfortunately there’s no safety against human error, so always keep your finger off the trigger until you’re ready to fire.

Using Safety Locks

• When your pistol is in storage, placing a manual safety lock over the trigger is recommended. Safety locks can prevent children, or anyone else, from using your Glock pistol.
