About Glock

Glock Ges.m.b.H. is not merely a firearm manufacturer; it is the entity that redefined an industry. Founded by Gaston Glock, an engineer with no prior firearms manufacturing experience, the company brought a fresh, solution-oriented approach to handgun design in the early 1980s. The result was the Glock P80, which won the Austrian military contract and began a legacy built on three pillars: simplicity, reliability, and safety. Glock’s expertise is demonstrated through decades of global adoption by military, law enforcement, and civilian users. Their commitment to the “Safe Action” system and relentless testing under extreme conditions has created a brand synonymous with dependability. Choosing a Glock, even a historical reproduction like the P80 Gen 1, means engaging with a product born from profound engineering authority and a proven track record that is virtually unmatched in the firearms world.
