They have a “trigger” safety which prevents the trigger from moving if it’s not depressed squarely on the front. They’re also drop-safe. Most people will tell you a safety on a handgun is obsolete these days, but I don’t agree. Fortunately a lot of manufacturers will still have thumb safety equipped models available, although not all of them.
They have a trigger safety which blocks the trigger from being pulled unless you have your finger in the trigger, then a set of internal mechanisms that also prevent the striker from hitting the cartridge without having the trigger pulled. It consists of:
a striker block that must be lifted by fully pulling the trigger, in order to allow the striker to access the rear of the cartridge
The striker is brought to full cock as part of the trigger pull, and released. At rest it is in a half-cock position where even if the striker block fails, it does not have enough energy to set off the cartridge
Ah I see. Glocks don’t have a safety? I’m surprised they are so popular then. Or maybe it’s evidence that a safety is obsolete?
