When the new Gen 5 Glocks released, another impressive idea from the Austrian gun manufacturer came out simultaneously-the G19X. The G45 is an evolution from the G19X appealing to the needs of law enforcement. But while we’re here in Distractionville, check out the G41, it is a tack-driving, 230-grain delivery system. Glock has never produced a model number that coincided with a caliber of the same number. This is an issue for some people though it is lost on me. This is as opposed to racking the slide (support hand) from the rear with the gun hand driving forward, forcing your support hand to recover grip from being further behind the gun. With a reload, the shooter simply grabs the slide up front, pushes the gun forward, releases the slide, then marries up grip with both hands. If you’re unaware, some shooters enjoy forward slide serrations because they allow the user to press check and even reload with their support hand not dropping the rear of the slide. They are still essentially the same, the G19 being the compact version, and the G17 being the full-size, though they benefit from the Gen 5 enhancements and something new – forward slide serrations! Today, the GLOCK pistol is made from an average of only 35 parts, which is significantly fewer than any other pistol on the market and makes it more durable, reliable, and easier to maintain.The Trijicon RMR Type 2(left) and Burris Fastfire 3 (right) are great MOS options.
Glock understood that reliability resides in simplicity, and therefore, he designed his pistol with as few parts as possible, minimizing its complexity. Glock met additional requirements of the Austrian government by including a high-capacity magazine, lightweight materials, consistent trigger pull, and a hammer-forged barrel. Glock designed his pistol with three internal safeties – the trigger, firing pin and drop safeties – to ensure that the pistol would perform consistently while providing the best protection against accidental discharge. Glock was building the pistol for the Austrian military and law enforcement, which meant it had to be ready to fire at a moment’s notice in life-threatening situations. It’s polymer frame and the developed SAFE ACTION® System revolutionized the pistol market In the early 1980’s, the semi-automatic GLOCK service pistol was born in response to meet the needs of the Austrian military. In the 1970s, development and production start-up of the first military products began to take place with the development of a line of knives, grenade casings and machine gun belt links. Gaston Glock, an Austrian engineer, successful businessman, and manufacturer of injection molding parts and components, founded GLOCK Ges.m.b.H in 1963. GLOCKs actually have three independent safeties in the SAFE ACTION® System. LEARN ABOUT G17.Īlthough they are rugged and resistant, GLOCK pistols still need to be properly maintained and lubricated.
