I love my Glock 17 and some of the reasons are the accessibility of glock parts. It is important when you by a handgun to be able to get parts for it as necessary and glock parts are easy to come by. That said, I want to explain the 3 main safety mechanism on the Glock. The main thing you will notice is the Glock has no external safety lever. All the safeties will function automatically. In fact, all the glock parts that are concerned with safety work together and are disabled one by one as you pull the trigger.
Number 1 is the trigger safety. You will notice if you look at a glock trigger, it appears to have 2 parts. When the middle part is pressed the entire trigger can be pulled. If the middle part is not pressed first , the trigger will not go back. This makes the weapon safe if it is dropped or if something catches on the trigger from the side but does not pull all parts back together. This safety will only be overcome by firm direct pressure on the entire trigger lever. One of the great benefits of this type of safety is that the gun is always ready to fire, yet will not fire unless the user is consciously deciding to pull the trigger.
Number 2 is the Firing Pin Safety. The firing pin is spring loaded and is in a secured position. It cannot move forward until the trigger is depressed. No firing pin, no discharge. This is also a great safety feature and prevents the gun from accidentally going off if it were dropped on a hard surface or something like pavement. Many time guns get dropped when exiting a vehicle and I have personally known a man who was shot dead with his own gun due to this very thing.
Number 3 is the Dropped Gun Safety. As we just said, dropping a gun was a great safety problem of the past. The Glock incorporates a third safety that effectively places a guard in front of the firing pin until the trigger is properly pulled. This safety will not allow the trigger bar to release the firing pin, unless the trigger is also being depressed. In a dropped gun situation, the trigger will not be pulled and so the firing pin cannot set off the round.
These are 3 very important safety mechanisms of the Glock handgun. Glocks are very durable guns and can be dropped and even ran over by vehicles and still function normally. Should you need to replace any parts of the gun, glock parts are easy to come by. Be safe.

by Brad Baines from Newcastle, NSW Australia on 2007-11-04
This is a great DVD a very detailed step by step disassembly of a Glock 22. It covers all the Glock models, any diferences betwwen models are covered. A Must have for any body who owns a one of these great handguns.
Very Useful!

I just put in a stainless steel guide rod, and installed an extended magazine release, an extended slide lock, and an extended slide stop lever for my G27 using this DVD. It paid for itself already and is a great reference to have. The instructor is very clear, and although the production is a little dated, I highly recommend this to anyone who owns a glock.
Complete GLOCK Video Disass/Reassembly.
by Joseph A. Aguirre from San Francisco, CA USA on 2009-01-06
If you own a glock you MUST have this video. It will save you ALOT of money by teaching you how to do your own repairs and upgrades. If you upgrade ANY part of your glock yourself this video has already paid for it self. Very nice product. A must if you own a Glock. How can I shoot without it? Has saved me much $$$ by doing my own Glock smithing. Very professionally done. Easy to understand. Highly Recommended!
I also recommend the new updated "Complete Glock DVD 2009 Edition" which includes models 26, 27, 29, 30, 21SF/30SF, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39 plus the disassembly of the magazines. The parts still the same.
And one more thing...... replacing the connector and other trigger parts surely lightens trigger pull but remember not to make this changes if you are using your hand gun for self-protection/home defense. As I was told by a gun manufacturer if you use your altered hand gun in self defense be prepaired to be arrested and a possibly long time in jail. The D.A. and the prosecuting attorneys will have a field day in court.

by Jean Z. St Aubin from on 2007-10-24
These Glock DVD's are the best. I like the break down and the explanation. Jean
for my Glock 17. It is much nicer than I thought it would be. I got it for 50.00 shipped from a guy on Ebay and it really looks like a quality item.
