Trigger safety

Firing pin safety

Drop safety

Furthermore the "Safe Action" system provides a constant trigger pull weight and a constant trigger travel from the first shot up to the last shot. GLOCK pistols are safe when dropped, when they receive any other abnormal shocks and are fully functional at temperatures from -40° to +70° Celsius.

The GLOCK "Safe Action" system has revolutionized the handgun industry and has been widely adopted by law enforcement and other official users as well as commercial and competition/combat shooting areas due to its simple, fast, safe and reliable application.

The main advantage of the GLOCK "Safe Action" system is that is has no external safeties. Because of this, the user can fully concentrate on the tactical tasks required whilst being in a stress situation and does not need to think about any safeties to be deactivated.

Trigger Safety

In the secured position the firing pin safety mechanically prevents the firing pin from moving forward. A spring-loaded pin projects into the firing pin cut-out and blocks it.

As the trigger is pulled towards the rear, an extension on the trigger bar pushes the firing pin safety up and opens the firing pin channel.

This safety can only be released by the trigger being pulled to the rear.

This situation offers maximum possible firing readiness combined with maximum safety for the user.

In the secured position the firing pin pushes the trigger bar onto the safety ramp under the influence of the firing pin spring.

There is no possibility in this position of the firing pin being released.

This drop safety can only be released by the trigger being pulled to the rear.

This situation offers maximum possible firing readiness combined with maximum safety for the user.
