The slide also remains stationary when the weapon is fired. Reloads in GTA IV are limited in detail due to the mostly static in-game weapon models here Niko inserts an invisible magazine into his Desert Eagle, followed by miming pulling back the model's immobile slide.

His anger satisfied for now, Niko reloads. This is incorrect for a real Glock, though some airsoft Glocks use the slide lock tabs as a trigger safety this may have been the source of the error since other guns in the game are based on airsoft weapons. In The Ballad of Gay Tony, Tony Prince attempts to commit suicide with a Glock after an associate of his is kidnapped, but fails because he "didn't know to take the safety off". The gun also has a wide slide that is typically found on a Glock 21. It is also the primary gun a vigilante will use when attacking. In addition, the front sights are simply a mirror image of the rear sights. The texture on the slide misidentifies it as a Glock 22 on the frame, there is only one pin above the trigger, confirming that it is in fact a Glock 17 as suggested by the in-game references to it being a "9mm". It is the standard issue police sidearm and is used by all law enforcement agents and many other characters throughout the game, and is the first firearm in the game. The standard handgun in Grand Theft Auto IV is visibly a first generation Glock 17. 8.2 Remington 1100 TAC 4 (with collapsible stock and pistol grip).The following weapons appear in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV: The DLC episodes instead cast the player in the role of two minor characters from Niko's story, respectively starring biker Johnny Klebitz and Dominican gangster Luis Fernando Lopez. The game is set in "Liberty City", a fictionalized, compacted version of New York City, with the main game's plot focusing on an Eastern European immigrant, Niko Bellic, as he moves to Liberty City to join his cousin Roman and live the American dream, only to become involved with the city's criminal underworld. Two additional downloadable content packs for the game, The Lost and the Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, were released on Xbox 360 in 2009 as timed exclusives, with PS3 and PC versions following in 2010. The game was released in April of 2008 for PS3 and Xbox 360, with a PC version following in December of that year. Grand Theft Auto IV is the fourth numbered game in the popular Grand Theft Auto franchise, developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games.
