If the user decides not to fire and releases the trigger, the firing pin safety automatically reengages. Drop safety The trigger bar rests on the safety ramp within the trigger mechanism housing. The trigger bar engages the rear portion of the firing pin and prevents the firing pin from moving forward. As the trigger is pulled rearward the trigger bar lowers down the safety ramp and allows the release of the firing pin.
After firing, the trigger bar moves upward and reengages the firing pin. As the trigger is released, all safeties automatically reengage. As the trigger is pulled rearward the trigger bar lowers down the safety ramp and allows the release of the firing pin. After firing, the trigger bar moves upward and re-engages the firing pin.
As the trigger is released, all safeties automatically reengage. After a round is fired, you only have to release the trigger until it resets, which you can hear and feel. All three pistol safeties automatically re-engage when you release the trigger to its forward position. How Does it Work? Trigger Safety The trigger safety is the first safety in the firing sequence.
They are sometimes modified in this manner by competitive shooters. But the modifications are not recommended for concealment or service pistols. The biggest exclusion is that of the frame or slide-mounted safety. On a Glock, if the gun is loaded, the trigger is ready to be pulled. The advantage of having no devices which keep the shooter from pulling the trigger is that the pistol is ready to shoot with minimal manipulation.
There is nothing for the shooter to forget to push down, or up. There is also nothing for the shooter to accidentally activate while handling the slide during a reload.
After the first shot is fired, there is no difference in trigger pull for subsequent shots, and every safety feature a Glock uses will automatically reset. In a stressful situation, having a pistol that manages many of the fine details itself is a blessing. A life situation that almost all of us are familiar with is having a motor vehicle not respond to input.
The feeling of having a gun not fire when you expect it to fire is much the same. By omitting some of the traditional safeties, and replacing them with others, Glock has significantly reduced the chance of this happening.
This is especially important for people who do not regularly practice but still choose to arm themselves. The most iconic safety that Glock pistols feature is the one on the trigger. The trigger has an insert that keeps the pistol from firing unless it is depressed by pulling the trigger directly backward and with pressure across the middle portion. If the shooter pulls the trigger directly back, the insert slides into the trigger and the gun will fire.
If pressure is applied to the side or edge of the trigger but does not depress the insert, the gun will not fire. The insert automatically resets when the finger is taken off the trigger. This style of trigger safety has become so popular it is nearly universally featured on striker-fired pistols and is even used on some hammer-fire ones as well. Glock pistols incorporate two internal safeties which also prevent the gun from firing unless the trigger is pulled. These are the firing pin safety and the drop safety.
