Description
The Glock 17 with 9×19 caliber is the most widely used pistol worldwide. It is unsurpassed in reliability and widely adaptable. It is safe, simple and fast thanks to the revolutionary Safe Action trigger system. It is designed for professionals.
Part of the Glock 4 generation accessories are two slip-on backs on the pistol butt, which allows the shooter to adjust the grip according to his hand. The base size S is fixed to the frame and is 2mm smaller than the full size of the G17/G22, the size M leans on the full size of the G17/G22 and the size L is 4mm larger. The inclination of the handle is preserved.
The magazine release is enlarged and double-sided – it allows to change it to the right or left side of the gun without additional parts. In addition, the Glock 4 generation has a new effective frame roughening as well as on the replaceable slide-on backs.
The Glock 4 generation has a new double recoil spring and a thicker guide rod, which greatly reduces wear and damage to the system.
The Glock 17 is a self-loading pistol with a magazine capacity of 17 rounds of 9mm Luger, expandable to 19 rounds. It uses the Browning/Petter locking system and Safe Action safety and firing mechanism specific to Glocks. The metal parts of the weapon are protected by a Tenifer coating. The trigger is cut in front to allow a better grip of the pistol with both hands.
Glock pistols are equipped with so-called Safe Action trigger mechanism. Instead of a cock, they have a partially pre-stretched firing pin, which is fully extended by pressing the trigger. After the cartridge is fired, it returns to its original state when the trigger is released.
The Safe Action system includes three independent fuses:
- trigger – when the trigger is pressed, the lever protruding in front of the trigger is first pressed, which prevents the trigger from being moved unintentionally,
- firing pin – a metal sprung roller, preventing the firing pin from penetrating the primer until the trigger is pressed,
- falling – the firing pin is held in place until the trigger is fully depressed.
Glocks do not have an external (manual) safety.
