Technical Pistol Safety

Firearm safety encompasses several topics, namely firearm handling skills, technical design, equipment and ammunition. The safety requirements are hugely dependent on the intended use of a firearm. Be it for example for military or law enforcement duty, private armed security, civilian self defense, hunting or sports shooting.

In this article, we will have a closer look at the technical design of safety features of pistols with a focus on relevance for dynamic sports shooting and duty use. We have picked some specific models that serve as examples of popular pistol types. Their firing mechanisms and safety features are described in detail.

The goal of this article is to help understand potential safety hazards and resilient technical design that minimizes the associated risks. Read it in full in the downloads below in either English or German language.
