Glock Firing Pin Safety

Description

The Glock Firing Pin Safety mechanically blocks the firing pin from moving forward in the ready to fire position.

How the Glock Firing Pin Safety works.

Depressing or pulling the trigger results in the trigger bar pushing the firing pin safety up. Consequently, this results in freeing the firing pin channel.  Once the firing pin channel is free the firing pin can strike the cartridge.  If the user decides not to fire and release the trigger, the Glock firing pin safety automatically re-engages.  Detailed information on the Glock US website.
