Gaston Glock, the owner of Glock, began the development of the first Glock model in 1980 after he heard military officers discuss the need for a replacement for the Walther P38. The officers were not a curtain rod fabricator or polymer manufacturer so they didn’t have high hopes for the Glock design. After receiving a contract from the Austrian military to manufacture bayonets, this was the company’s first firearm development. Glock obtained a patent in 1981 for their handgun design. In 1982, what we now know as the Glock 17 was born. It was accepted into military service by the Austrian Armed Forces. You can buy the GLOCK at our shop.

In addition to the standard 17 round magazine, factory magazines can be found up to 33 round capacity and even larger options are found in the aftermarket. Glocks have had polygonal rifling since their inception. It has a 165mm sight radius (6.5 inches), making it easier to shoot accurately from long distances. To pass the military trials, ease of maintenance was an important factor. Glocks of today are only made up 34 parts. This means that there is less to go wrong or break. The pistol can be field stripped in no time, giving the user access to most cleaning requirements.
