Compact dimensions for open and concealed carry, minimum weight despite large magazinecapacity in .40 caliber. This and the reliability of the GLOCK pistol known throughout the world, which was demonstrated through tests and widespread use by US law enforcement agencies, were decisive arguments for the F.B.I. and countless police authorities for introducing the GLOCK 23 as their official service pistol.

• TRIGGER SYSTEM: The Safe Action system is a partly tensioned firing pin lock, which is moved further back by the trigger bar when the trigger is pulled.When the trigger is pulled, 3 safety features are automatically deactivated one after another. When doing so, the trigger bar is deflected downward by the connector and the firing pin is released under full load. When the trigger is released, all three safety features re-engage and the GLOCK pistol is automatically secured again.
• TRIGGER SAFETY: As the first of the three GLOCK Safe Action safety features, the trigger safety prevents inadvertent firing by lateral forces on the trigger. Releasing the trigger will automatically reactivate the safety.
• FIRING PIN SAFETY: The GLOCK firing pin safety is a solid hardened steel pin which, in the secured state, blocks the firing pin channel, rendering the igniting of a chambered cartridge by the firing pin impossible. The firing pin safety is only pushed upward to release the firing pin for firing when the trigger is pulled and the safety is pushed up through the backward movement of the trigger bar. Releasing the trigger will automatically reactivate the firing pin safety.
• DROP SAFETY: In the line of duty it may happen that a loaded pistol is dropped on the floor. Contrary to conventional pistols, the GLOCK drop safety prevents unintentional firing of a shot through hard impact. When the trigger is pulled, the trigger bar is guided in a precision safety ramp. The trigger bar is deflected from this ramp only in the moment the shot is triggered.
• PSYCHOLOGY: very use of a firearm exposes users to tremendous psychological strain. Learned patterns are easily forgotten in such borderline situations and complex operating elements become a deadly trap. GLOCK offers the best solution to this problem: Safe Action! One operating element - one rule. Finger away from the trigger, three pistol safeties are active. Pull the trigger, the safeties are deactivated and the pistol is fired. Consequently the user can fully concentrate on his tactical tasks in the decisive moment.
• TENIFER: The name GLOCK has become synonymous for progressive material technologies in the world of arms. The Tenifer surface treatment process for barrel and slide has set standards in this regard. The Tenifer process optimizes the molecular structure of the metal surfaces, achieving a degree of hardness which comes close to that of diamond. In addition to extreme scratch resistance, it results in maximum corrosion resistance.
• POLYMER: rior to 1982 it was considered impossible to manufacture a pistol with a polymer grip. All prejudice was rapidly refuted when GLOCK pistols proved to be many times more durable than conventional pistols.In addition to 90% weight saving, minimum thermal conductivity and steady firing characteristics, the GLOCK frame is ergonomically ideal. The GLOCK hi-tech polymer does not include glass fibre reinforcement, resulting in unsurpassed breaking strength in the cold.
• BARREL PROFILE: Solid, cold-hammered barrels with Tenifer surface treatment and rounded (hexagonal or octagonal) interior profiles offer numerous advantages to the user. GLOCK barrels are considerably easier to clean and maintain uniform precision even after a high number of rounds. GLOCK barrels do not have any corners/edges (as in conventional barrel profiles - see picture) for deposits and enable better ballistic yield.
• LOADED CHAMBER INDICATOR: The user has always been able to read important parameters off his GLOCK pistol at a glance. Trigger forward = safety activated. Trigger pulled = safety deactivated. The pistol also shows the user whether a cartridge is in the barrel or not. The extractor also serve as a loaded chamber indicator on all GLOCK pistols â“ and this entirely without additional components. Visual and palpable extractor edge.
• HANDY SHAPE: Whether strong masculine hands or delicate female hands, the GLOCK pistol always feels as if it is made to measure. After comprehensive studies of the firing hand, a grip angle of 105% was chosen to provide best firing results. The grip design is based on the hand and equipped with a secure-grip profile. A secure weapon affording a secure grip!
• LEFT HAND USERS:An important factor in the development of the GLOCK pistol was its suitability for left and right-handed users alike. The special design of the operating elements, allows the index finger and thumb of left-handed persons to assume the leading role for operation. The configuration of the operating elements for left and right-handed users also reduces the possibility of inadvertent firing.
• MOUNTING RAILS: To be equipped for the various tactical requirements of the present and especially the future, GLOCK offers the user the possibility of modular-mounting a wide range of weapon accessories on his pistol. This ensures that the weapon will still meet modern technical and tactical requirements in the years to come. Experience for instance how the brand new GLOCK tactical light turns the night into day!
• QUALITY: Glock pistols have been designed to operate without compromise in extreme conditions by police, military and special units. Thanks to industry leading digital quality assurance continuously integrated in the production process, tolerances are excluded and reliable operational safety is achieved. Naturally, GLOCK is also certified according to ISO9001.
• TEST FIRING: During development every GLOCK pistol is test fired with overcharged ammunition to establish its safety prior to delivery. In addition GLOCK pistols are precision test fired. A laser target test device was especially developed for this purpose to coordinate the hit pattern with the line of sight. Every GLOCK customer can rely on receiving a weapon that has been tested in the factory and which operates reliably "out of the box" without compromises or expensive additions!
• TORTURE TEST: Salt water, sludge, sand, merciless heat or arctic temperatures. What other pistol will come to terms with the most hostile environmental and operating conditions that are all in a day's work for a GLOCK pistol.For professionals throughout the world, working under tough and dangerous conditions, the GLOCK pistol is the weapon of choice. They know that there is not a more robust and reliable pistol.
