I thought a Glock had a button/bar on the front of trigger that acts as a safety,you had to press to release the trigger ? Also some are meant to have a drop safety . lol

“The three safety mechanisms are automatically disengaged one after the other when the trigger is squeezed, and are automatically reactivated when the trigger is released. This passive safety system omits the manipulation of traditional on-off levers, hammers, or other external safeties as found in many other handgun designs.”

Also, I don’t think the weapon fired when dropped. The fella grabbed at in to pick it up with zero care and negligently pulled the trigger.

Pretty much. It also has the internal firing pin and drop safety which disengages as you pull the trigger and then reengages as you release it. You can see how their internal safety works here.

If you watch the video closely he drops the gun and it bounces. He negligently discharges it as he picks it up. The only way that can happen is because he pulled the trigger as he was picking it up. We can deduce that the gun isn't faulty as he's a serving federal agent and he'll have practised with that pistol on the range. At least long enough to determine it wasn't faulty.

Finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
