Instead, the pistols are designed with threeindependent safety mechanisms to prevent accidentaldischarge. The system, designated "Safe Action" by Glock,consists of an external integrated trigger safety and twoautomatic internal safeties: a firing pin safety anda drop safety.

Subsequently, question is, what does safe action mean on a Glock? GLOCK Safe Action®System GLOCK's revolutionary SafeAction® System provides a consistent triggerpull from the first to the last round. The three automatic,independently operating mechanical safeties are built into the firecontrol system of the pistol.

Then, what handgun does not have a safety?

Other safeties Many such firearms do not have an externalsafety or external hammer (Glock pistols and the Walther P99and variants).

How often should you clean pistol?

Most weapons will be good for around three to four rangetrips, dependent on how many rounds you shoot. Myrecommendation would be to clean the weapon every 250rounds, if you don't want to clean it each timeyou shoot. If you don't go to the range much,cleaning your weapon is still important.

Are all Glocks striker fired?

Glock calls the striker-firedsystem its “Safe Action” operating system, and there isa lot of truth to that. A Glock can only be fired ifthe trigger is depressed, meaning accidental falls from holstersand other objects to the ground cannot, for example, cause a hammerto fly forward and impact the primer.
