Glock's line of pistols were first developed in the early 1980s to replace the [[Walther P38]] [[service pistol]] in the Austrian [[army]]. Since then, the [[Glock 17]] and its variants have become quite popular as [[military]] and [[law enforcement]] firearms, being exported in more than 50 countries. Glock pistols are chambered for all major pistol [[cartridge]]s, including the 9x17mm Short, [[9mm|9x19mm Luger]], [[.357 SIG]], [[.40 S&W]], [[10mm Auto]], [[.45 ACP]] and the [[.45 GAP]].<ref>http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg15-e.htm</ref> Glock pistols have 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>
