That round button also doubles as the 'take-down' button - by holding it in while pulling the slide rearward & up to 'unhook' it from the frame.
The grip safety is not like that on the 1911s - as it only works ' on-safe' when the pistol is cocked - and when disengaged by squeezing inwards it 'clicks' into the F ire position and stays there without needing to be squeezed any more - until the wee button is pushed-in to release it. The recoil-spring uses the barrel as a guide & the 'grips' or stocks are retained by a hidden spring-loaded internal latch. The Glock 17 is acclaimed as being a superbly efficient modern design - having only 33/35 parts.Įconomy of purpose - check-out how the striker-spring also powers the "grip-safety" - and the firing-pin also works as the ejector for the fired cases. Pins and springs aplenty - but looking carefully you'll see that there were only 29 parts listed when these neat pistols were made back in 1919.
