Yes and no. The Glock does not have an external safety that is operated by the shooter. The safety mechanisms are controlled by the trigger, and function when the trigger is pulled. If the trigger is NOT pulled, the safety mechanisms prevent the firing pin from moving forward and striking the cartridge. However, if a Glock has a cartridge chambered, AND you pull the trigger, the gun WILL fire.
never mind i got it....i had to pull the slide forward and when the trigger went into firing position you pull the trigger while continuing to pull forward...i was scared as hell for a minute
One is on the trigger
The Glock 34 is a 9mm pistol. It has a 5.32" barrel (which is 0.82" longer than the Glock 17) and a longer slide, extended magazine and slide releases with a reduced trigger pull. The longer slide gives quicker recovery between each shot.
By explaining that a heavier trigger pull is likely to result in less than accurate fire, which could endanger bystanders. However, it sounds as if you have department policy being made by lawyers and not by law enforcement officers. Good luck with that.
None of them have traditional safeties. They just have the trigger block mechanism.
The Glock has 3 safeties and they are all passive. There is a trigger safety, a firing pin safety and a drop safety. This is to prevent discharge of the weapon other than a purposeful pull of the trigger. The Glock is a combat pistol designed to go bang when you pull the trigger. There are no stock external safeties though a gunsmith can install a thumb safety that is an after market part. The best safety you have when firing any firearm is the one between your thumb and middle finger and your brain. Follow the 4 rules: 1. Treat all guns as loaded 2. Do not point a gun at anything you're not willing to destroy 3. Do not put your finger on the trigger until you're sighted in on your target 4. Make sure you know what you're firing at and beyound.
It is supposed to.
The trigger pull should only be adjusted by a trained gunsmith. Browning does not publish trigger pull weights.
If I remember correctly, it serves both as a manufacturer's emblem and a proof mark that it's been inspected and approved for retail sale.
Yes, the frames are exactly the same. However, various parts would need to be swapped out such as the trigger housing w/ejector as that item is caliber specific. The trigger assembly may also have to be swapped out as the models vary by caliber also.
yes it is called a trigger
