About Glock

Glock’s authority in the firearms industry is built on a foundation of relentless reliability, simplicity, and innovation. The company’s expertise, demonstrated over four decades, began with the very pistol this model reproduces. In the early 1980s, Glock’s entry into the Austrian Army trials with its revolutionary polymer-framed, safe-action pistol challenged centuries of metal-framed dominance. Winning that contract with the P80 proved the viability and durability of their design, leading to the Glock 17 and the subsequent family of pistols trusted by military, law enforcement, and civilian users globally. This historical reproduction is a testament to that expertise—a direct reflection of the engineering decisions that established Glock’s unmatched reputation for producing firearms that work under the most demanding conditions.
