You know what a Glock is? It’s a porcelain gun made in Germany. It dosen’t show up on airport X-ray machines, and it cost more than you make in a month.

Hope he went out with a bang
He was probably a pistol

There are those who say that in recent years Gaston stifled innovation and new product lines. And that due to this other manufacturers have gained market share at the cost of Glock.

I got my first Glock knives in about 1983 and my Glock 17 in 1986.

The family may have considered burying Mr.Glock with his gunbelt on, and namesake weapon concealed within.
He can “shoot the Devil in Purgatory!”
To: chrisinoc
He certainly did his part in keeping black crime at bay.

*** a lightweight semi-automatic gun largely made of plastic.***
I remember when these came on the market. Schumer screamed that they would be used to hijack aircraft!

You know what a Glock is? It’s a porcelain gun made in Germany. You got one made of porcelain? Hang on to it. it's rare. The only ones I know of are made of polymer.

I love my Glock. I have a bunch of pistols and revolvers. The Glock gets the most attention.

There are those who say that in recent years Gaston stifled innovation and new product lines. And that due to this other manufacturers have gained market share at the cost of Glock. Won't deny their reliability, but was never a fan of their ergonomics and the way the gun sat in the hand. Also had other handguns to shoot so never saw the need to change my grip, and Sig or my 1911 just felt better.
But gotta give credit where credit is due, and that Gaston did indeed stir up the industry and force others to think outside the box. Although, with a tagline such as "Glock Perfection"; there sure are an awful lot of aftermarket mods. To make it "More" perfect I guess.

I admire that. Staid old school with the tried and true. Just look at all the dreck on the market.
