The Glock is highly unlikely to discharge if dropped, perhaps one of the top 2 or 3 guns in regards to safety in a drop situation.
The firing pin of the Glock is nowhere near the primer until the trigger is being pulled.
I'm no glock defender or apologist or anything, but if dropped the odds of that gun going off are likely 1 in a billion. Considering that millions of them are owned and some have probably been dropped, they seem safe so far.
That said, many handguns will not fire if dropped. And it depends on how the gun was dropped. Like was said earlier, if your gun is primed and ready to go, and you drop it, watch out. If its on safe, odds go down significantly.
The Beretta 92 on safe can be dropped, kicked, and tossed without it going off. Don't do it that though, because there is that 1 in a billion chance.
