After Glock reassembly, what are the three function checks?

• A. Trigger - Trigger reset - Slide Lock
• B. Trigger - Slide Lock - Trigger reset
• C. Slide Lock - Trigger - Trigger reset
• D. Trigger - Trigger reset - Slide Lock

Answer: (D)

After Glock reassembly, you verify proper operation by three checks: trigger function, trigger reset, and slide lock. Start with the trigger function check: with the pistol pointed in a safe direction and proven unloaded, rack the slide and pull the trigger. The trigger should move to the rear and release the striker, completing the firing cycle. Next, the trigger reset check: release the trigger completely and ensure it returns to its forward reset position with a distinct reset feel so you can pull again without re-squeezing from a new position. Finally, the slide lock check: with the firearm unloaded, pull the slide back to confirm the slide stop/lock can hold the slide open, then release the slide to ensure it moves forward smoothly. Performing these three in order confirms the weapon will fire when the trigger is pulled, that the reset works, and that the slide lock functions as designed.
