| − | THe Glock 43, like all other 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>
