EXPiODED DRAWING GLOCK 17

SAFETY DEVICES
The weapon has no externally located safety devices which need to be actuated separately. All the safety or safety release devices function automatically.
1. TRIGGER SAFETY
This is incorporated into the trigger (26) in the form of a lever, and in the untouched state blocks the trigger from being moved backwards. If the weapon is allowed to drop, or if the trigger is subject to an off center, lateral pressure, it is still impossible for a shot to be fired. The trigger being pulled by the trigger finger can only release this safety. This situation offers maximum possible firing readiness combined with maximum safety for the user.
2. FIRING PIN SAFETY
In the secured position a spring-loaded pin (9) projects into the firing pin cutout, and blocks it. This safety is only released when the trigger is pulled back.
3. SAFETY FUNCTION OF THE TRIGGER MECHANISM HOUSING
The firing pin (5) pushes the trigger bar onto the safety ramp under the influence of the firing pin spring (7). There is no possibility in this position of the firing pin being released.
SIGHTS
These consist of a rear sight (16) and a front sight (16a), in which white contrast elements are inserted. The rear sight is adjustable horizontally by displacement, while, for height adjustment. 3 different rear sight heights are available (0.4mm or 0.8mm above or 0.4mm below the normal height).

LOADING AND FIRING

The magazine is filled by each individual round being pushed into the magazine from the front, with the base of the round being pressed down first against the pressure of the magazine spring. If using the factory supplied loading support, slip support over the magazine and place magazine on a solid surface. Hold loading support firmly and place thumb on top of loading device: Press down loading device against tension of magazine spring and, while keeping support down, insert a round as far as possible. While pressing round downwards, slide support upwards (release magazine spring) and the round will slide into its rest. Repeat operation for subsequent rounds.
Introduce or insert the magazine into the magazine shaft until the magazine catch engages fully

UNLOADING

1. Remove the magazine (see photo).

Pull back the slide with free hand, and allow it to spring forwards into the final position. The
trigger finger of the shooting hand remains outside the trigger guard. The weapon is now
secured and ready to fire.
After the last round has been fired, the slide remains open. Remove the empty magazine from
the weapon by pushing the magazine catch (19). Insert a new magazine and then either push
the slide stop lever (27) downwards (see photo), or pull the slide slightly backwards and allow it
to spring forwards. The weapon is now again secured and ready to fire.

Pull slide (1) back to eject the round which is in the barrel (2).
Check to ensure that there is no round in the barrel
Allow the slide to spring forwards and pull the trigger into the full pulled position.

DISMANTLING AND REASSEMBLING
1. For normal cleaning, it is sufficient to dismantle the weapon into its MAIN COMPONENT PARTS

slide (1)
barrel (2)
recoil spring assembly (3)
receiver (17)
magazine

For maintaining and cleaning the weapon, it is recommended that the cleaning equipment provided as part of the accessories be used, together with the cleaning wadding and special gun greases and oils available from specialist dealers.
The GLOCK pistols are stripped into the main component parts in the following order:

Removing the magazine

checking safety (ensuring there is no round in the barrel)
pulling trigger right back
removing barrel from slide. Before the slide and the receiver are dismantled any further, attention is drawn to the safety and guarantee conditions.

4. Removal of the slide (see photo) is carried out as follows:

Grasp the pistol in the right or left hand in such a way that four fingers rest over the slide and the thumb rests on the rear side of the receiver.
Using the fingers draw back the slide (1) about 3mm
Pull the slide lock (21)
Push the slide forwards and separate it from the receiver.

Glock manual pic5

If the slide is drawn back too far (more than 3mm), the trigger will move to the foremost forward position. The slide will then not separate from the receiver (17). Do not use force. The trigger must first be pulled all the way back.
5. Removal of the barrel (see photo) is carried out as follows:

Push the recoil spring assembly (3) somewhat forwards with the thumb and raise it
Take the recoil spring assembly out of the slide (see photo 4).
Grasp the barrel on the barrel locking piece, push it slightly forwards, raise it and pull it backwards out of the slide. Reassembling the GLOCK pistols is carried out in the reverse order to the above.

SAFETY AND GUARANTEE INSTRUCTIONS

If the weapon is dismantled by the purchaser or by any third parties further than described in
this user's instruction, and if, as a result of inappropriate handling or incomplete reassembly,
damage or malfunctions are caused, as a result of which the safety devices are rendered
ineffective, then the purchaser shall forfeit ant claim to guarantee against damages thereby
incurred to persons or property.
Any change to the basic construction of the weapon, in particular by the circumvention of the
safety devices, is strictly prohibited for safety reasons, and precludes the use of the weapon.
The following actions are not permitted on the weapon since they could lead to damage:

With the weapon unloaded the trigger (26) shall not be manually brought into the foremost
position and actuated. The trigger shall only be brought into its foremost position by pushing
back the slide (approx. 15mm or more)
Should, with the slide disassembled, the trigger (26) be inadvertently brought into its foremost
position, then the trigger shall be only actuated when, at the same time, the trigger bar is
pushed forward (in muzzle direction).
With the slide removed, it is not permitted to tension and spring the firing pin (5) forward,
since this could damage the firing pin safety.
The steel insert located in the cover platte (15) to the slide must not be removed.

No liability whatever can be accepted if inexpertly manufacturedor inexpertly filled ammunition is used. All liability whatever isexcluded in the event of these instructions not being observed.

CHECK OF SAFETY DEVICES
The followingsafety checks are to be carried out at regular intervals, e.g. beforeeach use or when cleaning the weapon after use:
a) Function testing the trigger safety:

Remove the magazine from your pistol and reassure that there is no cartridge in the barrel. Then the trigger may be pulled back.
Bring back the trigger in its most forward position by cycling the slide. The trigger safety (lever integrated in trigger) should then be properly engaged.
When lateral pressure is applied on the trigger the safety should keep engaged, blocking the trigger movement.
Failure of the trigger safety to properly engage or block indicates that it is defective.
Do not reload or use your weapon again and contact GLOCK Ges.m.b.H. or an
authorised GLOCK armorer immediately.

b) Function testing the firing pin safety:

Dismantle the weapon into its main components as described previously and remove the recoil spring/recoil spring tube and barrel from the slide.
Hold the slide in a muzzle down position and depress the firing pin safety. The tip of the firing pin should move forward and be visible protruding from the firing pin hole.
Keep the firing pin safety depressed and shake the slide. The firing pin should be distinctly heard moving freely.
Draw back manually the firing pin about 0.2 in.
Hold the slide in a horizontal position and push forward the firing pin toward the muzzle, firing pin safety being engaged. The firing pin should not protrude from the firing pin hole. If it does, the firing pin and the firing pin safety should be replaced.
