Glock has been a well trusted pistol manufacturer since
1963. While the company may have started by producing curtain rods, it has
developed into one of the most well-known weaponry companies in the world. Glock
has made it to the top of the firearms industry because of their innovative
pistol designs and their product reliability. The durable construction and
quality material that Glock uses to design their pistols allows many law
enforcement and security agencies to depend on these models for their everyday
needs.
The company started its merge into the firearms and weaponry industry by producing gun holster belts, hand grenades, plastic magazines and field knives for the Austrian Army. After years of experimentation, production and testing, Glock then produced its first polymer frame pistol. The pistol also became popular with the Austrian Army and was the primary weapon of choice for the soldiers. Glock’s first handgun model was the Glock 17 handgun. It was produced by a request from the army and the rest of the Glock pistol models followed the handgun with different characteristics.
Glock produces pistols and firearms that meet many strict security standards of law enforcement agencies, the military and security personnel. The Glock models have also become popular with many civilians who enjoy the firing range or hunting. The firearms have become standard for many agencies because the company uses only the most lightweight yet durable materials.
Pistols produced by Glock can withstand many extreme temperatures or weather conditions. The company has made its products sturdy and able to handle being banged around or dropped. The firearms are designed to hold a large amount of cartridges, making them much more appealing to law enforcement agents than the standard pistol.
Glock pistols are sold all over the world and the company reports that it has sold over 2.5 million pistols in over 100 countries worldwide. Over 60% of United States police departments use Glock guns as their standard issue weapon for their force. The United States Federal Bureau of Investigations issues its agents the Glock 22 or Glock 23 upon their graduation from the academy.
The company designs its pistols in a simplistic form so they are easy to use. The polymer frame makes them light in weight and even a fully loaded pistol isn’t heavy while in a gun holster. Police officers who have to carry guns all day long find that Glock pistols are much lighter and sit easily on their hip. Comfort and safety are two of the most important essentials the Glock company keeps in mind while producing their pistols.
The many varieties of pistols made by Glock have also allowed the company to cater to a diverse range of customers. While some of their pistols may be directed toward government agencies and those who may be using the firearm on a daily basis, Glock has also designed many other types of pistols for the casual user. Glock customers have no problem finding the correct model for their situation and the right customizations that may be needed.
