RIP Gaston Glock

[Bavarianbrit]

Well, he had a good run getting to 94.
I used a Glock .45 rental pistol on a range in Kansas City Missouri and was surprised how accurate I was with it as I am really a 1911 man.

I met the guy many years ago at a pistol meeting in Bisley when he was just introducing his polymer pistols.
I thought to myself -"they'll never catch on". Crikey how totally and absolutely wrong could I have been!

Only to the tune of an estate worth £200 billion!!!

Pre 97 I had a Glock 22 in .40 Short and Weak for practical pistol. It was just that, practical. Nice tupperwear style box too to hint at the manufacturers origins.

Always liked the issued Glock offerings I’ve used. Whilst the old Sig 226 felt like it was millled out of a single piece of steel and was true German/Swiss quality-it was heavy. Glocks are light/cheap/safe and do the job required of them and don’t really require much training. If I lived in the US I’d buy one on Veterans Day sale for sub $500! What’s not to like.

The sigs fitted my hands better and the controls just felt right..
Sure mis shooting handguns.
