Three
Safeties
GLOCK
pistols have three independent and automatic safeties. As the trigger is
pulled they sequentially disengage, and as the pistol fires and the
trigger returns to its forward position, they re-engage. The combination
of the trigger
safety,
firing
pin safety
and drop
safety
make the GLOCK the safest pistol on the market.

Simplicity
GLOCKs
have about 50% fewer components than conventional handguns of these
calibers. The GLOCK 17, for example, has only 33 parts. A couple of
pins. No screws. So there are fewer parts to break. And you can break
down and reassemble any GLOCK pistol with one simple tool. That's all
there is to it.
High-Impact
Resistant Polymer
The
frame on a GLOCK handgun is made out of a synthetic that is actually
stronger than steel, yet 86% lighter. It's virtually indestructible. A
GLOCK pistol can withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C (-40 F) to
+70°C (+158 F) and still come out firing.
Tenifer
Process
The
metal components on a GLOCK are practically indestructible. That's
because they're finished with a unique surface treatment called Tenifer
that makes those parts virtually as hard as a diamond. It is even more
corrosion resistant than stainless steel.
Accuracy
GLOCK
handguns are designed with a grip angle that's so comfortable, so
natural, it complements your instinctive shooting abilities. This
ergonomic design features a superb bore axis and weight distribution to
ensure a controlled shot, even under the most adverse conditions. Plus,
the special polymer frame, of which the grip is an integral part,
results in a much softer recoil than that of conventional guns, which
only adds to your control. The unique GLOCK barrel features
hammer-forged rifling for increased velocity and even greater accuracy.
With a GLOCK's consistent trigger pull and excellent pointability,
there's a very good chance you'll be hitting your targets for a long,
long time.
