Most important safety on all weapons is your finger.  Keep it alongside the frame and completely out of the trigger guard until ready to fire.

• Finger off the trigger
• Point weapon in a safe direction
• Remove the magazine
• Lock the slide to the rear
• Check magazine well and chamber twice to insure it’s empty
  • Physically and visually

What are some of the Glock’s safety features are:

 

Trigger Safety – Prevents trigger from moving to the rear if dropped

Disconnector – Weapon must be in battery

• 1/4 inch disconnect

 

Firing Pin Safety – Blocks firing pin unless trigger is fully depressed

 

 

Drop Safety – Prevents cruciform from dropping unless trigger is depressed

 

 

Trigger Pull:

• Distance and weight
  • .500 inch
  • 5 lbs
• Position trigger finger close to the first joint
• Pull directly to the rear until gun discharges
• Release the trigger
  • Until it does not travel forward
  • This resets the drawbar/trigger bar
  • Repeat as necessary
    • When finished, either holster or maintain cover position

 

Lubrication:

• Lubricate both rail cuts on the slide
  • One(1) drop ONLY – wipe excess away
• Lubricate inside of slide at the top bearing surfaces
  • Wipe away the excess
• Lubricate the barrel
  • One(1) drop ONLY – wipe away the excess
• Lubricate where the connector and trigger bar meet
  • One(1) drop ONLY – wipe away the excess
  • NOTE: Excess oil only serves as a magnet for dirt, dust, and lint which could affect the functioning of the weapon

One thing is for sure, enjoy the weapon you have and take care of it.
