The Glock® pistol has a combination of three automatic safety features (trigger safety, firing pin safety and drop safety), which are sequentially disengaged when the trigger is pulled. The central pivot of the trigger is the first safety mechanism to disengage when the trigger is pulled and therefore the most important.

The safety pin of the SIDERLOCK® trigger is a precise positioning system and when engaged blocks the movement of the central pivot avoiding an accidental discharge of the weapon.

Once the SIDERLOCK® trigger is installed on the pistol, firing is accomplished by sliding the safety pin to the left prior to pulling the trigger. Preventing firing is obtained by simply sliding the safety pin to the right (Right hand Shooter assumed).This action is displayed in the animation at the left.

For left-handed shooters, simply remove and invert the safety pin using the tools and instructions provided with the SIDERLOCK® trigger.

SIDERLOCK® trigger offers the option of keeping the pistol in its original firing configuration simply by not engaging the lock.

No matter which position the slide is in it never extends beyond the trigger guard, avoiding any accidental contact with the holster ether inserted or withdrawn.
