Glock 9 mm Got Started in 1963 by Gaston Glock

When Austrian engineer, Gaston Glock, started his business in 1963 nobody imagined the success of this small Austrian company. 2016 marked the 30th anniversary of the introduction of GLOCK pistols to the U. S. market. GLOCK, Inc., was established in the United States in 1986 and revolutionized the firearms market forever. GLOCK pistols are now the sidearm of choice for over 65 percent of the law enforcement agencies across the U.S., and they are used in more than 50 elite military units worldwide.

“When I brought the GLOCK 17 to America in 1986, I could not have imagined or predicted the success GLOCK enjoys today,” said company founder, Gaston Glock. “Our pistols are the choice of millions for personal and home protection and target shooting”.

Wide Open Spaces lists it as one of the 10 popular Glock handguns on the market. Here is what they have to say about it “the venerable Glock 17 9mm handgun is the pistol that started the polymer gun revolution. This model was the first commercial model offered by Mr. Gaston Glock to the market. Its 17-round standard magazine allows for increased capacity over many of the older autoloaders of the time. It's lightweight but indestructible construction is what legends are made of”.

Each of the thirty pistols has been uniquely engraved by one of five Master Engravers who have been certified by the Firearms Engravers Guild of America (FEGA) to commemorate the relationships cultivated during the company’s thirty-year history. The exclusive pistols will be presented throughout the year to exceptional individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to the success of GLOCK. The engraved G17 Gen4 pistols carry a limited production serial number and come with a certificate of authenticity signed by Mr. Glock. The pistols will be presented throughout 2016.
