Glock handguns are neither single nor double action. Glock handguns have their own technology that they refer to as a SAFE ACTION® System. This action system is described by the company as a fully automatic safety system consisting of three passive, independently operating, mechanical safeties.

There are three components that go into this action system that allows for this to be a simple, fast, and safe system.

Glock Trigger Safety

The first component of Glocks SAFE ACTION® System is the trigger safety. This is a safety that is built into the trigger itself. The trigger safety prevents the gun from firing if it is not fully depressed. This is achieved with a small lever that protrudes from the trigger and must be fully depressed in order for the gun to fire. This also prevents Glock pistols from firing when dropped.

Firing Pin Safety

The second component of Glocks SAFE ACTION® System is the firing pin safety. This is a passive safety that is located inside the slide of the gun. The firing pin safety prevents the gun from mechanically firing if it is dropped or jarred. This safety is engaged when the trigger is not pulled and disengages when the trigger is pulled.

Drop Safety

The third and final component of Glocks SAFE ACTION® System is the drop safety. The drop safety is a passive safety that prevents the gun from firing if it is dropped. This safety is engaged when the trigger is not pulled and disengages when the trigger is pulled.

These three safeties work together to create a safe and reliable handgun that is easy to use. Glock handguns are some of the most popular handguns on the market today and are used by law enforcement and military around the world.
