[ARCHIVED THREAD] - another silly glock newbie question

Posted: 10/5/2005 2:41:53 PM EDT

If I dry fire my gen 3 G19, is the trigger to stay in the collapsed position, or spring back to the ready position without working the slide?
Thanks

It will not reset until you cycle the slide.

Actually Ive had the gun a few months now, just dont get an oppritunity to shoot it very often.
I just recently purchased some items from topglock.com, jentra plug, houge handall and some mags (by the way Id like to add excellent service and shipped fast

) and realized the trigger stays down after firing instead of moving back to the ready position, so I had to ask.
Thanks again Mike2643 for the quick response.

I just saw Daredevil on HBO and that Elektra chick fired a Glock until it was empty, went to slide lock and she just kept pulling the trigger. You could hear it....click.....click.....click......click. So you know Hollywood would never get something like that wrong. So your Glock must be broken!

I'll give you $150 for it.

Cash.

I'll bet that the safty that you always hear getting clicked off in the movies is missing too, if your trigger isn't reseting on it's own. What a shame. Definitely broke

Tell you what--That Glock is a hazard, you should send to me--That way I can dispose of it properly, I am willing to do this for the sake of the human race. We don't want anyone being hurt by these mall-functioning weapons.

the trigger will only reset itself automatically if a round is fired. The discharge of the round will send the slide back, therefore resetting your trigger, and loading a new round into the chamber.

throw the houge handall away or sell it. it slides around too much when shooting.

yeah that always cracks me up. They spend millions of dollars on these movies and they can't get something that fucking easy right. I'll never understand hollywood.
