The Heckler & Koch VP70 (produced 1970-1989), chambered in 9x19mm, was the first polymer-framed, striker-fired handgun. The Glock 17 , chambered in 9x19mm, didn't enter production until after adoption in 1982 by Austrian military and police.

John Moses Browning was way ahead of his time with the design of the 1911 (and the design of so many of the different types of firearms he invented). The fact that the 1911 platform still has its place in the modern firearms scene is a testament to that. Glocks are also phenomenal pistols. If you do your part, then you won't be at a disadvantage with either platform in any situation that can be taken care of with a pistol.

I agree that the Glock was a great leap forward, and i believe that it was essentially the point at which the pistol was perfected. That being said, there weren't really any features of the Glock that hadn't been used before in the past. Glock's achievement was to pick out the best features from past designs, and bring then all together into one modern design.

Glocks and semiautos in general are a great leap forward. Yet, even today, I regularly see body cam videos of cops with jams and FTEs during their encounters with ne'er do wells {especially where close physical contact is involved}. And they are trained and drilled to use their weapons properly. In real world encounters with adrenaline, shock and surprise in play, they do malfunction. Despite the revolver's limitations, it still has its place for those that desire ultimate reliability in a repeating shot pistol.

It's hard to make improvements on firearms nowadays. With all the regulations, they have going against firearms & innovation of them. The government doesn't want you to have anything new & improved. They want our firearms to be old, outdated, and useless compared to what they have. Like the Glock switch, I understand it inaccuracy, but the technology behind it is pretty cool. States with their 10 round magazine laws are neutering your weapon. Technology went from 6 round chambered barrel to 8 round magazines to a 100 round drum. See, they make good innovative technology illegal. Govt Sucks!

A fractured history of firearms helps no one. And then of course, as expected, we arrive at the Church of Glock. New gun buyers take the advice of the guy at the gun store, who sells what he actually has in stock and what he makes money on. The same thing happens at the car dealer. In both cases, they are telling you what is convenient for them. The Glock is VERY convenient for them.

3:00 everyone forgets. colt with the 1911, also created parts interchangeability. one of the military requirements.

It took it from Gribeauval system (France, 1765). The first known application of this concept dates back 24 centuries ago (Terracotta Army).

@@grayman7208 Nope. Read the Wikipedia article titled 'Gribeauval system'. Calibers and therefore barrels, carriages and parts were standardized. Read the Wikipedia article titled 'Terracotta Army'. Section 'Weaponry': the terracotta army was equipped with real weapons. The factories which produced this 'army' were using standardized weights and measures established by the Emperor. The limbs of the statues are interchangeable, as are most parts of the weapons.

@@natmaka it must be a comprehension issue. standardization of equipment is not parts interchangeability. standardization of equipment means all units have the same equipment. parts interchangeability is when you place all the parts from multiple different firearms in a container, randomly pick parts and assemble each firearm, and each firearm functions. no hand fitting required. colt did that. not gribeavul, not the terracotta army. like i said a comprehension issue ... you defeated yourself with what you posted.

@@grayman7208 This is about a concept and being able to apply it, given current limitations and constraints (state of the art). Terracotta army: parts (from statues and weapons) were standardized and interchangeable (albeit faces were deliberately not identical), to an extent corresponding to tolerances realistic ~2200 years ago and given the types of those weapons. This was clearly intentional, given the amount of them and constrained variations of their characteristics. Gribeauval: same. It was for sure intentional as documents from the time state it, and various objects (cannons, cannonballs, carriages...) remain and had been analyzed. Colt: his goal (the concept) was the same but, in practice, technology and market pressure (production costs were to be contained) did not enable him to reach the "all parts of all instances of a given model and production run are interchangeable" graal, albeit he was closer to it than his predecessors thanks to technological progress. Your "randomly pick parts and assemble each firearm, and each firearm functions. no hand fitting required" stance is false. Contemporary brands are way (way!) closer to this goal than Colt was. This is about a concept, and being able to understand it beyond any arbitrarily chosen criteria such as "sub-millimeter tolerance". Gaining more experience will help you to grasp it.

The glock uses polagonal rifling which IMHO is unreliable. Also, I would *NEVER* under any circumstances trust my life to a firearm that does not have *BOTH* a grip safety AND a thumb safety. That damned trigger safety is a "Foot in self soot" waiting to happen and in fact has happend numerous times. I will agree that the glock will put them exactly where you point them but the lack of REAL safety features and the polagonal rifling make the entire platform *GARBAGE*. There is however one feature on the model 1907 savage which (rightfully) lost out to the 1911 that I think would be worth taking another look at. As the slide comes back under recoil it causes the barrel to rotate due to the lugs riding along a groove in the slide. The direction of rotation is opposite to the direction of the rifling in the barrel so the mass of the bullet rotating in the barrel counteracts the rotation of the barrel from the lugs / groove. This slows down the recoil and keeps the pressures inside the barrel for longer so the 1907 savage had a higher muzzle velocity than any other firearm of its caliber with that barrel length. I believe the savage also outsold the 1911 during the time of its production and is a great backup carry sidearm to this day. < edit > the savage also has no real hammer, it is striker operated too! < / edit >

I want my 13 minutes back. The Luger, and FN1900 were striker fired. There were no items that Glock actually innovated, he just did it cheap.
