About this report
GLOCK GmbH – formally Glock Gesellschaft m.b.H. of Austria – is a renowned small-arms manufacturer best known for its polymer-framed service pistols. The firm’s breakthrough came in the 1980s with the G17/G18 design, which revolutionized handguns through weight reduction and reliability.
Notably, the Glock 17 “soundly passed the NATO durability test” in 1984 , leading to its adoption by the Norwegian Army and signalling its global rise. Today Glock pistols are among the most widely issued military sidearms worldwide , used in diverse environments from European forces to U.S. law-enforcement agencies.
