DEFTAC Weapons and Firearm Practice Exam

Glock pistols rely on three internal safeties that keep the pistol from firing unless you deliberately pull the trigger. The best answer lists these exactly: a trigger safety, a firing pin safety, and a drop safety.

The trigger safety is integrated into the trigger itself and must be pressed with the finger to allow the trigger to move. This design prevents the trigger from being actuated by incidental contact.

The firing pin safety blocks the firing pin from moving forward until the trigger is fully pressed. This adds a layer of protection against slam-fire or an unintended discharge.

The drop safety prevents the firing pin from releasing if the pistol is dropped or jarred, so a fall won’t cause a discharge.

Glocks do not have an external manual thumb safety or grip safety, and there isn’t a magazine safety in the standard design. That’s why the option listing the three internal safeties is the correct description of Glock safety features.
