For their part, the pistols themselves seem to smile graciously through all of this enthusiastic adoration and stubborn abhorrence knowing deep down in their Tenifer-treated Teutonic souls that they are absolutely perfect for what they were put on this Earth.

Since their 1986 introduction in the USA, Glock pistols have taken the law-enforcement and civilian markets by storm. Glock shooters have found that they can trust Glock's toughness, innovative design and remarkable reliability. Although simple in construction, there is a lot to know about these "plastic pistols." Because Glock, Inc. is not forthcoming with detailed information about their products, a thriving industry has grown up around decoding Glock's products. From the very beginning, it's been up to devoted enthusiasts to research, organize and disseminate the information that Glock shooters demand.

What the Hell is a Glock?
If you don't yet count yourself among the ever-growing universe of Glock enthusiasts, but have just bought your first Glock or recently shot your friend's for the first time, read on to start your journey toward what we Glock-aholics lovingly call "The Dark Side."
In a nutshell, a Glock pistol is a tough, homely, supernaturally reliable, semi-automatic handgun made partly of polymer and fewer than 30 pieces of steel that some people love and others just don't understand. It was downright revolutionary for a time, until other manufacturers started copying it. Yet it remains the standard on many levels such as value, durability, reliability, and ease of use. There are over twenty models of Glock pistols, give or take a few variations, regional limitations, generations and availability. Flavors range from the near pocket-pistol to competition models with 6-inch barrels as well as compact and combat sizes including one that can be switched to full-auto. Calibers stretch from the unobtainable .380 to the unstoppable 10mm, plus .40 S/W, .357 SIG and two different .45s (ACP and GAP). There are Glock shooters who own one or several of each incarnation, and those who swear by one beat-up old 17 they've been carrying for 20 years.

The sacrificial Glock 23 after being dragged five miles down a gravel road. In PTOOMA's The Complete Glock Reference Guide, this gun goes through a hell of a lot more than this. Does it survive?
Revolutionary features of the Glock design include recoil-absorbing and rust-proof polymer frame, muzzle flip-counteracting low bore axis, unparalleled ammo-cycling tolerances, performance-enhancing trigger reset and diddle-free safe operation. Glocks have been described as auto-loading revolvers, bricks, tactical Tupperware and upon rare occasions, beautiful.
In Glock's popular life, there are tales of "kabooms" and stove-pipes and dire warnings against shooting unjacketed bullets. There are documented guns shooting hundreds of thousands of rounds without skipping a beat and those that have survived tortures beyond belief. Myths of invisibility to x-rays, ceramic components and the eventual development of a Glock carbine color the Glock world.
Glocks are some people's idea of perfection. They are other people's idea of a good starting point. Because Glocks are manufactured for interchangeability, fun and functional customizations have become a major industry over the years. While Glocks are ready to defend life and liberty straight out of the box, parts swapping and accessories mounting are so easy and inexpensive to perform at home, there is no reason not to experiment with trigger characteristics, sight designs or extended controls. Many Glock shooters go even further and add custom stippling, alter grip angle and hit their Glocks with spray paint and skateboard tape before they call it good.

A few pieces that fit very nicely together make up the pistol that can be almost everything to everyone (with a little work). This photo is from How to Customize Your Glock.
