Glock pistols are the bestselling handguns for civilians and law enforcement. They are also very customizable and offer a large variety of accessories, including replacement parts. Glock has a very colorful history. It is widely known for its reliability and the fact that it has appeared in over 139 movies and television shows.
Size
When Gaston Glock set out to design his polymer-framed pistol in 1980, he wasn’t a John Browning. His background was in advanced synthetic polymers, and he used that to build a pistol with a unique grip.
It’s flat in your hand, points naturally and is a pleasure to shoot. That “shootability” comes from the striker-fired action and the long, flat slide that functions like a crude sight.
It’s also easy to carry, especially in a holster for open or concealed carry. And, the fact that all double-stack 9mm Glock mags (except for short G26 and single stack compact mags) work in the G19 makes this gun very versatile. All of these features add up to an excellent defensive weapon for law enforcement or armed civilians.
Weight
When Glock 19 came onto the market, it was an instant hit. It pioneered the market for polymer striker-fired pistols and created a fanatical following before other manufacturers could catch up.
Glock worked with police forces to create a gun that would be easy for them to carry and handle. The original Glock 17 is a full-size service pistol that can be heavy when loaded and not as easy to conceal as many officers wanted.
The Glock 19 is the answer to those concerns. It is smaller than the G17 but still a duty-size pistol and easy to conceal with the right choice of covering garment and holster. It’s also durable enough to resist shock, caustic liquids, and temperature extremes that would warm or brittle steel frames.
Trigger
The Glock trigger is often criticized for not being crisp or clean. This is due to the way the gun is designed, as it requires very little movement of the hand or finger to pull the trigger. For this reason, it’s important to upgrade your Glock with an aftermarket trigger if you want to improve its accuracy and shooting experience.
The Glock Performance Trigger offers a drop-in replacement for the original Glock trigger. This replacement trigger features a flat face design that enhances ergonomics and improves trigger control. It also reduces trigger weight, while maintaining the factory safety features. The trigger also includes a skeletonized firing pin and striker. The trigger assembly is easy to install, and the process can be done with minimal tools.
Safety
Many people have a misconception about Glocks, claiming that they don’t have safeties or that they require you to flip them on. In reality, however, Glock pistols have three different safety systems that automatically disengage and re-engage when the trigger is pulled.
These safeties prevent accidental discharge, making Glocks one of the most reliable handguns on the market. This is why law enforcement and military groups all over the world use Glocks as their sidearms.
In addition, the Glock frame and magazine body are made of a high-tech polymer that Gaston invented that is super strong, durable, and resistant to shock, caustic chemicals, and temperature extremes. This makes the Glock a nearly indestructible weapon that can hold up in the most brutal conditions. This is why you should always treat your Glock with care and keep it away from unauthorized people.
More Words
Glock pistols are designed to fire rounds reliably at close range targets such as the vital areas of a human body. They excel at this because of their simple design and combat-style triggers.
Unlike other striker-fired handguns, the Glock trigger mechanism takes care of both cocking and releasing the sear to fire a round. This makes the trigger pull lighter and more consistent.
The Glock 19 also uses polygonal rifling, which is considered more accurate than traditional grooved barrels. However, this type of rifling has some drawbacks such as higher manufacturing cost and difficulty level. Another key component of the Glock is its magazine catch spring, which keeps the gun’s slide in place. It should be replaced after a certain number of rounds have been fired.
