Glock semi automatic pistol functioning |
1. With a loaded magazine inserted into a safe and clear weapon, the slide is allowed to go forward chambering a round. 2. Continuous rearward pressure is applied to the trigger, which disengages the three safety mechanisms. 3. As the trigger continues rearward the spring loaded firing pin is released and strikes the primer of the cartridge firing the round. 4. The propellant gases produced by the fired around force the slide rearward providing the power to extract and eject the empty case, and cock the spring loaded firing pin. 5. The recoil spring, which is now compressed; expands forcing the slide forward, which strips a live round fed from the magazine and chambers that round. 6. In order to fire another round, the trigger must be released far enough to reset the trigger and then pulled again. 7. The slide locks open (to the rear) upon firing the last round. |

Glock safety mechanisms |
1. Trigger safety: A lever incorporated into the trigger, which prevents the trigger from moving rearward unless the lover is first depressed. 2. Firing pin safety: a spring-loaded plunger that protrudes into the firing pin cut out, which prevents the firing pin from traveling forward and striking the primer unless the trigger is moved rearward pushing the plunger up and out-of-the-way. 3. Drop safety: the firing pin pushes the trigger bar forward onto the safety ramp, which prevents the firing pin from being released to strike the primer unless the trigger is moved rearward lowering the trigger bar. |
