Police officers and rappers, lulz, oof.

RIP. Love the design or hate it, you can't deny the influence it has had over the firearms world.

Now that Gaston is out of the way it will be interesting to see what Glock's enginerds do. Gaston really held the reins back on the firearms portion of the company and stifled further innovation and product development.

Maybe we'll get that AR they hold patents on and only sells to the UK. And the decade late PCC.

Or the Glock 46 with the rotating barrel. I'd buy that on sight of the price was reasonable

Glock 1911, anyone?

Yeah, didn't think so...

Will be interesting to see what direction Glock takes with Gaston gone…

I suspect they'll continue to refine and improve their current pistol offering(s) resulting in the 6th Generation of Glock Perfection…

Lived to be 94 and had a wife 50 years his junior?

Not a bad life, I'd say.

I was thinking what @JeremyK posted. I don't like Glocks for the most part, but that doesn't mean he didn't create a very good, revolutionary handgun.

He survived the rubber hammer to die of natural causes good for him !

If you have not watch the Glock documentary very interesting but....... your family will not let you hold the remote for awhile !

 

[Kruel J]

He had an interesting career and is a household name. I like his products and maybe that makes me a fanboy.

RIP

Heres a prototype pic of the next Gen 6 Glock. Radically different and out of the box engineering, this ones worth upgrading....

um.

Imma gonna hoist a glass of 3 fingers worth of Bullit Rye in honor of Mr. Glock and his contributions to firearms greatness, not that what HE did was revolutionary, but what his name sake pistol did to the industry! Like them or not, GLOCK drove the rest of the industry to innovate and get off their Kester's and actually DO SOMETHING, which gave us most of the modern firearms we now enjoy, and for us oldsters, drove a strong appreciation for classics such as the 1911's and our beloved Revolvers we might not have had such an appreciation for! So to you Mr. Glock, I pour a wee dram down the barrel of my G-20 Gen 1, and toast your accomplishments! RIP good sir!
