The standard armament of Black Mesa’s security officers, this pistol has two fire modes, and it is one of the few weapons that can fire underwater. It uses the same type of ammunition as the 9mm Fully-Automatic Weapon. The primary fire mode is accurate but it is semi-automatic and limited to the speed that the player can pull the trigger. The secondary attack fires bullets in faster succession, emptying the 17 round magazine in seconds; this rapid-fire mode is very inaccurate and is therefore only useful at close range.

In standard Half-Life this weapon resembles a GLOCK 17 handgun, while the replacement model included as part of the High Definition Pack resembles a Beretta 92F or 92FS. The Beretta cannot fire underwater; however, due to the Glock's plastic frame, it has this ability to a certain degree. It can, more specifically, fire after being dropped in water or sand.
