Some people are dead set against this type of set up. If that sounds a little like there isn’t a safety at all, you’re not alone. Don’t worry if those sound foreign to you. Yes, Glocks Have SafetiesĪlthough they’re known for their simplicity, 99 percent of Glock handguns actually sport three safety mechanisms: trigger safety, firing pin safety and drop safety. The advice might’ve abbreviated this nugget down to “Glocks don’t have safeties.” That’s actually not true. Maybe you’ve heard that tip before in lists of common gun mistakes writers make. Glocks don’t have safeties that switch off. I (and probably some regulars of this blog) can remember reading novels and short stories where a character switched the safety off a Glock semi-automatic pistol.
In keeping with the recent theme of things that may or may not have safeties ( knives, revolvers, etc.), let’s talk about Glock handguns. Disregard Glock safeties entirely when writing fiction. TLDR: Glock handguns use three safety mechanisms, but none of them require a character to switch anything off. Good news for your characters: You don’t have to be in the military to own a Glock 19. Marines Special Operations Command adopted it for use in early 2015. Pictured is a Glock Model 19, which can hold 15 rounds of 9mm ammunition.
Glock semi-automatic pistols are some of the most popular handguns in the world, which makes them easy picks for assigning to all sorts of characters.
