About the Gun

One of the first successful polymer framed designs, Glock handguns are common sidearms among law enforcement agencies and military organizations around the world. Although a striker-fired pistol, the Glock employs a single-action (SA) trigger, meaning that the trigger does not cock the gun, but only releases the striker when pulled. Cocking of the striker is performed by the retracting slide. Glock pistols have no manual safeties. The trigger is the only operating element. All three internal pistol safeties are deactivated when the unique single-action trigger is pulled, and automatically activated when it is released. For more information on the Glock design, please refer to the Glock pistol animation in the Basics section.

Analysis

This compact .380 Auto pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry and personal defense. Its lightweight design and ergonomic grip make it comfortable for most users, promoting confident handling during extended range sessions. Accuracy is commendable for its class, delivering consistent performance at typical self-defense distances. Reliability remains a key asset, with the firearm functioning well under varied conditions when properly maintained. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5.5 pounds, which aids in precise shot placement, while the felt recoil is moderate, manageable for shooters of different skill levels. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring regular attention to ensure optimal performance. Availability of replacement parts may pose challenges in certain regions, potentially delaying repairs. Additionally, smaller-handed users might find the grip slightly less accommodating. Overall, it’s a practical choice for its intended purpose, with considerations for upkeep and fit.
