Gaston Glock was a pioneer in manufacturing plastic injection molding with embedded metal parts.

It’s amazing that an engineer Gaston Glock managed to develop a pistol so successful that it’s in its 5th generation today and one of the most popular and reliable handguns in the world

I'm still using a gen 3 g19 even! No issues at all 👌

[@workletics9320]

I thought your 1911 history was great, but this is even better! You sure know how to present a history of a gun as amazing! Just shows how much love and respect you have for guns.

Just found this guy and I already love this channel !!!

[@theshapeexists]

When lipseys announced the p80 gen 1 reproduction, i got one as soon as i saw it in my local armory. Cool retro gun

[@FirearmsofAmerica]

Nice, I was looking at it for a while, but didn't pull the trigger, I already have a G17. Would love to review a P80 though!

[@cullensanner8823]

It got funnier every time he said “again, this was all done by a guy who made curtain rods” 😂

[@dannypol3384]

Amazing! Thanks a lot to Gaston Glock, who started the Glock pistol. I have 3 Glocks in different calibers. They all shoot great, accurate, and flawless. Glock brand is the most popular pistol in the world these days.

[@EugeneHerbsman]

Great video! Thanks for putting in the time to detail one of the greatest arms engineer of all time!

[@eddyngaue6495]

I never get tired of watching this video.

[@I-AM-EL-ZOZO]

Glock is such a legend he's in fallout, the original, I think he's the one that made the plasma caster, or one of the plasma/energy weapons in fallout 1 or maybe fallout 2. Very cool easter egg, and such a legendary gun manufacturer to be featured in a game early in the 90s

[@GmarineIraqVet]

MAN HE IS!!!!!!! OMG SO AWESOME

[@douglasphillips24]

I remember the crazy media claims of " the plastic pistol" that could get through metal detectors when I was in Highschool. Shortly after Glock became the gun to have. And the fact that Glocks haven't changed much except for different calibers 9mm, 10mm, 40 S&W , 357sig, 45acp, & 45GAP for 35 years now is a Testiment too Glocks awesome invention the G17 .

[@chicagonews1878]

Good choice especially if you can’t afford a 1911 I have both glocks n 1911s

Couldnt agree more brother, truly amazing, 3mo and still today has the reputation as one of the most reliable pistols on the market, i love all firearms and while glock is far from my favorite pistol whenever i get asked what pistol a first time gun buyer should get thats reliable, accurate and easy to use, its hard to recommend anything other than the Glock 19

[@mediocreman6323]

The choice for a lot of polymer was _not_ primarily a question of cost-reduction. Glock was an engineer by trade who specialised in polymers, he knew the material better than any weapons designer, which shows in the final product - since he was new to designing weapons, he also had an unbiased approach, and thus thought “out of the box”. Also, one important competitor to mention is the very well known Austrian manufacturer Steyr, who (I just looked it up), is in the bussiness since 1864 - yes, the company is really that old! - and one of the most renowned weapon manufacturers in the world, the Steyr AUG is probably their most well known products. So, yeah, Glock really achieved something. He did it not alone, and the Glock 17 was not the first handgun with a polymer frame, but Glock was the first to really put it all together in the right way, and created one of the most useful firearms in history.

[@steveunknown8407]

I hope people don't get mad at me for calling him this but Mr. Glock was a curtain genius, I just wish they were still considered curtains so they could be imported without having to deal with the ATF 😂

[@forestman7879]

Excellent video on the history of Glock handguns I remember when the Glock 17 came out the early 1980s in the United States people were buying them like crazy after that say no more they took off like a rocket ship look at order policeman that carry Glock handguns today they work every time you press the trigger easy to clean easy to get parts you could fix and do a lot of things yourself save a lot of money I give this video five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🇦🇹👍

It is the only gun in history that is made out of plastic, or polyurethane.

[@FirearmsofAmerica]

No Sir, there are a lot of other manufacturers that utilize the polymer frame in their designs.

Interesting story! I find it quite fascinating to learn of a particular company's origins or humble beginnings. This whole world is full of examples. I kind of wish US was a bit more open minded about foreign products bc there are tons of high quality products throughout the world. Cheers!

[@wizardofahhhs759]

Most Americans love their European made firearms, guns from third world countries not so much.

[@tristanphillips2435]

i have a glock g4 airgun and its amazing

[@Clipgatherer]

Glock also made cutlery (knives and forks) before he started making firearms.

[@dennylukman1801]

They also breed horses, so if you a rancher that happens to have glock pistol, you can call the same company for those needs.

Glock hasn't even been around long enough to have a history. They make one gun in a handful of calibers and sizes and people think they're the best thing since sliced bread.

40yrs of making pistols seems to be a good start at having “history”. For only making 1 gun in a handful of calibers they sure do sell a lot of pistols.

[@gilbertoesquivel9668]

Ok, I think the idea that Glock locked himself down in his basement and with 'no experience or background..." and built his wonder pistol in just 3 months with just his nut sack and a dream is a bit overstated..... 1st the guy was already a trained mechanical engineer who had already owned some kind of a 'widget' company...so it wasn't like he was the freaking night janitor in some building with a dream....you know he not not have been a gun but he actually knew something about mechanical engineering and manufacturing things....?? 2. He consulted with military officers, gun makers, and even a camera manufacturer who specialized in using plastics and metal parts to produce shock resistant cameras....get it?? 3. He brain stormed with all of these guys and asked them what the ideal military pistol would be like using designs from the past while factoring in new options using current materials and manufacturing methods....then he went into the basement and started working on it...so. Take a chill pill dude....Herr Glock was capable and looked for some help and input from the group mastermind...besides that...H&K had already built a plastic gun before...I'm sure that freaking thing was sitting on his shop bench too for inspiration...

[@FirearmsofAmerica]

I am not the one offended by the history video, so I don't think the chill pill is for me...😂

Turned my nose up to glocks for years , just got my first one the other day and I gotta say I dont know if ill use anything else ever again lol wish I would have tried one 15 years ago maybe I wouldn't have gone through more than 200 different pistols in that time I'd keep one for a while and trade to somthing else , ive had 1911s , Berettas, sigs , h&ks and pretty much everything else and none has been as right for me as the glock 43x mos its cut for a red dot if I ever want one and a rail for a light , 15 round mags and half the width of the 19 🤌 perfect

[@MrSolLeks]

I know they are good guns but their grip angle just kills it for me tbh. i'v fired them, friends have em and I have nothing against them really. they just don't fit me lol.
