The History and FUTURE of Glock

Lucas must be really stressed, he looks alot older now

I think the most impressive thing about Glock, is he’s an engineer that didn’t make something unnecessarily difficult to work on 😂

At 53 I remember when Glocks came out and NBC was demonizing them as 'pistols almost completely made of plastic' per Brian Gumble. Now I am enjoying my 3rd P80 build. Thank you for the video, and thank you Mr. Glock.

Rest In Peace Gaston Glock. You will be missed.

The genius part is when he he doesn't know anything about firearms, gets practical knowledge about its function, then goes to his target demographic to build something that caters to their needs. In the year of our lord 2023, we have an enormous amount of companies that still don't get this, and push nonsense that we don't want on it. Like everything touchscreen in cars, for example.

I like how Tommy Lee Jones' entire career also tells the Glock story.

In Glock Armorer School, they explained that Gaston Glock only built 4 (!) prototypes before "Perfection" emerged as the G17

The beauty of a glock is that it works everytime, but for me nothing fits my hand better than a 1911. So I have both

The history, future, and motto of Glock is make small changes and mix & match said changes for each generation. "Change nothing, but if you must make changes make sure they came from a past Gen Glock." -Gaston Glock

Glock is officially in the same category as the M1911 and AR-15. Ascension from gun to platform.

The thing I love about this channel is that it’s not just guns and gear information heavy, it’s history heavy. You learn why, when, and how, everything came to be. Love it.

Everyone in my military unit carried a Colt 1911. So, when I showed up to the range with my brand new Glock, they all said," A plastic pistol? It will never make it, it will fizzle out." Then I let them shoot it. The rest is history. Glock is indeed, perfection. Like it or not. It's the most reliable gun ever. Period.

This man is the best part of TRex’s YT content.

Isaac can make any subject aound interesting and engaging. Makes me wonder what his own channel would do.

Shadow systems also has a program that will replace your pistol if you used yours in a self defense shooting. (since yours will likely be evidence and you may not be getting it back.) Very cool and I would say definitely shows their mission of arming people for self defense.

As a former LEO, I am predictably a Glock Guy, to such an extent that I became my former department's Glock Armorer. The first US law enforcement agency to adopt the Glock, as pointed out in the Barrett book, was the Colby Kansas Police Department, from which I live 35 miles away. My initial duty gun when I first entered LE was an H&K USP40, which I bought from my department when we transitioned to The Glock 22 in 2000. At that time, bought a model 27 which was carried as my backup, and which I still carry to this day (I also bought the G22 when I left the department). I am a big fan of the gun, and found this to be an excellent video which should be shown at the beginning of each Armorer's course. Well done, sir.

Glock 1 was a doorknob. Glock 2 was the curtain rod. Glock 15 was the entrenching tool.

Gaston Glock is a time traveler who successfully pulled off the Biff play from Back to the Future - change my mind.

This is an amazing video, it kept me interested for the entire 30 minutes. I would love to see more content of this style on the channel. Not that I don't enjoy the more usual content regarding shooting, gear, and the like. But the historical, educational, and analytical approach to firearms is every bit as important as the use and functionality of them. Knowledge and comprehension of these tools are, in my opinion, critical to the effectiveness of their use.

I'm a retired Marine and I own some nice all metal handguns that shoot extremely accurate and look beautiful , but if I ever had to hit the road again with my plate carrier on and carrying a rifle and pistol, that pistol would be one of my Glocks . The combination of weight, durability , reliability and capacity make it the most practical.
