WARNING!
Always point
the muzzle in
a safe direction.
You must follow
all safety rules
provided with your
firearm to ensure
its safe use.

The new Gen4 has several new features designed to satisfy the
most demanding consumers. It is based on a MBS (multiple
backstrap) frame with a reduced short frame trigger mechanism housing. The multiple backstrap system allows the
users to change the circumference of the grip to fit their
individual hand size.
The grip has five options; a short frame version, medium frame or large frame with or without beaver tail that
are easily changed and secured with a single pin.
The grip angle of the GLOCK Safe Action Pistol is
not changed by backstrap modifications. This ensures that the shooter does not shoot high or low
when modifying the backstrap or when shooting
with a different GLOCK Pistol.

Without a backstrap attached, the
Gen4 has the same frame circumference
as the SF models. The medium backstrap (M) adds an additional .08 inch /
2mm to the circumference of the frame.
The large backstrap (L) added to the
Gen4 frame increases the trigger reach by
4mm / 0.16 inch.

The Magazine Catch of the Gen4 frame is reversible and enlarged towards the rear of the pistol. The reversible Magazine Catch is more user
friendly to the shooters reach and allows them to switch the catch to the
left or right side of the pistol with no additional parts.

Additionally, the Gen4 has a new Rough Textured Frame (Gen4 RTF)
surface designed to enhance grip traction, without being too aggressive.
It is present on the frame as well as on the interchangeable backstraps.

SAFETY RULES

Handle all firearms as if they

were loaded.
Always keep the firearm pointed
in a safe direction.
Keep your finger out of the guns
trigger guard and off the trigger
until you have aligned the guns
sights on a safe target and you
have made the decision to fire.
Always be certain that your target and the surrounding area
are safe before firing.
Whenever you handle a firearm,
the first thing you should do
(while keeping it pointed in a
safe direction with your finger
outside the trigger guard) is open
the action to determine whether
or not the firearm is loaded.
Thoroughly read the instruction
manual supplied with your firearm.
Before firing your weapon, you
should routinely make sure that
your firearm is in good working
order and that the barrel is
clear of dirt and obstructions.
Only use ammunition recommended by the firearm manufacturer, and always be certain
that the ammunition matches
the caliber of your gun.
Quality ear and eye protection
should always be worn when
shooting or observing.
Never use firearms while under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
All firearms should be stored unloaded and secured in a safe
storage case, inaccessible to
children and untrained adults.
The transportation of firearms is
regulated by Federal, State and
local laws. Always transport
your firearm in a safe, unloaded condition and in accordance
with applicable laws.

SAFE ACTION System

GLOCKs revolutionary Safe Action System provides a consistent trigger pull from the first to the last
round. The three automatic independently operating mechanical safeties are built into the fire control
system of the pistol. All three safeties disengage sequentially as the trigger is pulled and automatically
reengage when the trigger is released.

1 Trigger Safety
The trigger safety is a lever incorporated into the trigger. When the
trigger safety is in the forward position it blocks the trigger from moving rearward. The trigger safety and the trigger must be fully depressed at the same time to fire the pistol. If the trigger safety is not
depressed, the trigger will not move rearward and allow the pistol
to fire. The trigger safety is designed to protect against firing if the
pistol is dropped or the trigger is subjected to lateral pressure.

TRIGGER SAFETY

Drop Safety

2 Firing Pin Safety

The firing pin safety mechanically blocks the firing pin from moving
forward in the ready-to-fire condition. As the trigger is pulled rearward the trigger bar pushes the firing pin safety up and frees the
firing pin channel. If the user decides not to fire and releases the
trigger, the firing pin safety automatically reengages.

FIRING PIN SAFETY

engaged

disengaged

3 Drop Safety

The trigger bar rests on the safety ramp within the trigger mechanism housing. The trigger bar engages the rear portion of the firing
pin and prevents the firing pin from moving forward. As the trigger
is pulled rearward the trigger bar lowers down the safety ramp and
allows the release of the firing pin. After firing, the trigger bar moves
upward and reengages the firing pin. As the trigger is released all
safeties automatically reengage.
