    • Yes for most glocks, although there are some glock models that do feature a manual safety.
    • Glocks have a half removeded striker once you rack the slide, and this gives a factory glock a trigger pull weight that is directly in between a removeded single-action trigger and an unremoveded double-action trigger.

    Glock’s trigger safety is more secure than no safety although it is not as secure as a thumb safety, and the half removeded striker is easier to pull than a double-action trigger but is harder to pull than a single-action trigger.

    Presumably this compromise was intentional and is one of the reasons why Glocks have become popular through their balance of reliability and ease of use - nowadays most striker fired pistols follow the same design principle.






  • This age period is shockingly young; I don’t remember exactly but iirc it’s less than one year old.

    Anecdotally, that sounds hard to believe to me, because I moved from South Korea (which has the same sound ambiguity) to the US at the age of 11 and have no problem at all distinguishing between the two sounds. All of my Korean friends that I had back in middle school also had no issues, even though none of them were born in the US. On the contrary, I’ve been told at times that I speak Korean with an obvious western accent.
