'''Glock 17''' is a the [[9mm]] Luger model of [[Glock]] [[polymer]] [[receiver (firearms) receiver]] [[safety (firearms)|safe]] [[action (firearms)|action]] [[semi-automatic]] [[pistol]] invented by [[Austria]]n [[Gaston Glock]]. The Glock 17 is the most popular [[law enforcement]] [[handgun]] in the world.
== Glock 17 Design ==
Glock's G17 fires a [[9mm|9mm Parabellum]] [[round (firearms)|round]], uses the Glock Safe Action system. The Glock 17's [[fire power]] is a 17 round [[standard capacity magazine]] (which [[liberal]] [[politically correct]] [[gun control|gun grabbers]] and [[liberal media elite]] like to mistakenly call a "[[high capacity magazine]]")
Glock's G17 model of pistol was first developed in the early 1980s to replace the [[Walther P38]] [[service pistol]] in the Austrian [[army]]. Since then, the [[Glock 17]] and its other [[caliber]] variants have become quite popular as [[military]] and [[law enforcement]] firearms, being exported in more than 50 countries.
The Glock 17 has a [[metal]] [[slide (firearms)|slide]] and a [[polymer receiver]]. The Glock 17 has a unique safe action mechanism and, unlike most [[handgun]]s, do not have any external [[safety (firearms)|safety]] on/off lever. No external safety lever means that there is no risk of the [[shooter]] either forgetting or not realizing that the safety is on during a [[threat]] or [[emergency]] situation. The Glock handguns are prevented from being fired accidentally by the user by a triple safety system, dubbed the safe action [[trigger (firearms)|trigger]] by Glock. The safe action mechanism includes a drop safety which prevents the handgun from firing if dropped. <ref>http://www.glock.com/english/pistols_adv04.htm</ref>
