      Practical Guide to the Operational Use of the Glock - Erik Lawrence

      Section 1

      Introduction

      The objective of this manual is to allow the reader to be able to use the various Glock pistols competently. The manual will give the reader background/specifications of the weapon; instructions on its operation, disassembly, and assembly; proper firing procedure; and malfunction/misfire procedures. Operator-level maintenance will also be detailed to allow the reader to understand and become competent in the use and maintenance of the Glock pistol.

      Background

      The company started as a manufacturer of curtain rods and then branched out into supplying the Austrian army with machine gun belts, practice hand grenades, plastic magazines, field knives, and entrenching tools.

      GLOCK was founded by Mr. Gaston Glock, an engineer, in 1963 in Deutsch-Wagram near Vienna to specialize in the manufacture of plastic and steel components. In the early 1980s, the Austrian military decided to acquire a new duty pistol, asking numerous famous local and foreign weapon manufacturers for their bids. Due to Glock’s excellent reputation with previous military contracts, GLOCK was also invited to bid on this new contract. This was a new challenge for the company, since pistols were not in its product line at that time. The result was a breakthrough in firearms technology. With its polymer frame, the GLOCK pistol was considerably lighter in weight and had the highest magazine capacity of any other pistol in its class. The pistol did not have any external safety lever, hammer, decocker, or any other operation controls which must be deactivated prior to making the weapon ready to shoot. In this way, the pistol was faster, simpler, and safer to use than any other pistol. The new pistol concept allowed the shooter to concentrate on tactical considerations rather than on manipulation of levers or hammers on the pistol. In short, the pistol combined two different systems – it considered the advantages of the double-action revolver (simple to operate, reliable) and those of the auto-loading pistol (maximum firepower, fast reloading). This combination was the birth of the well-known Safe-Action system. By merely pulling the trigger to the rear, the three independent safeties (trigger safety, firing pin safety, and drop safety) are automatically deactivated and re-activated when the trigger is released.

      In 1985, an important milestone was achieved with the establishment of GLOCK, Inc., in Smyrna, Georgia, to address the firearms market in the United States. The so-called wonder-nine GLOCK 17 met with immediate approval and overwhelming acceptance in the law enforcement and civilian markets. The success of the GLOCK pistol made it necessary to open a second subsidiary in Hong Kong in 1988 to address the Asian and Australian markets. Consequently, the production capacity was enlarged by a second factory in Ferlach/Carinthia in Austria.

      Its first handgun model was the Glock 17, a 9mm Luger Parabellum semi-automatic pistol with a magazine capacity of 17 rounds (unusually large at the time), introduced in the early 1980s as a response to the Austrian army's request for a new sidearm. Glock pistols are popular with law enforcement agencies, the military, security personnel, and defense-minded private citizens. Glock was the first manufacturer to offer models chambered in the .40 S&W
