1 Trigger safety
The trigger safety is a lever incorporated into the trigger.
When the trigger safety is in the forward position it blocks
the trigger from moving rearward. The trigger safety and
the trigger must be drawn back at the same time to be able
to fire the pistol. If the trigger safety is not depressed, the
trigger cannot be moved and so a round cannot be fired.
This trigger safety was developed to prevent unintended
discharges of a round if the pistol is dropped or lateral
forces are applied to the trigger.
2 Firing pin safety
The firing pin safety mechanically blocks forward motion of
the firing pin. As the trigger is pulled, the trigger bar pushes
the firing pin safety up and frees the firing pin channel. If
2 3
the shooter decides not to fire and releases the trigger, the
firing pin safety automatically reengages.
3 Drop safety
The trigger bar rides in a safety ramp within the trigger me-
chanism housing. The trigger bar engages the rear portion
of the firing pin and prevents the firing pin from moving for-
ward. As the trigger is pulled, the trigger bar rides down the
1
safety ramp and allows the release of the firing pin. After
firing, the trigger bar moves upward and reengages the fi-
ring pin.

GLOCK GEN5
TECHNOLOGY
The GLOCK Gen5 pistols combine the technology of the
future with the familiar reliability of GLOCK. They feature
over 20 design modifications from their Gen4 predeces-
sors. These changes deliver improved accuracy, durability,
performance, control, and flexibility whether you are on the
range or in a situation where fractions of a second matter.
Through rigorous testing and development, GLOCK has
combined the historical reliability and trust in the brand with
precisely engineered design changes to meet the demand
of consumers world-wide.
The design changes include 5 key features:
The GLOCK Marksman Barrel (GMB) utilizes enhanced bar-
rel rifling to deliver improved accuracy. The removal of the
finger grooves and an added ambidextrous slide stop lever
deliver improved control and flexibility. The nDLC finish of-
fers tougher, more durable protection. The introduction of a
flared magwell makes it easier to funnel the magazine into
the magwell, particularly in high-stress situations.
