Can you elaborate on the hardening process differences? Also, why not here in the US - Is it one where Austrian government restrictions did not allow the process to be exported? (Which I wish the US had done to a lot of the manufacturing processes we have exported....)The Left Coast Glock rep spoke at a club meeting last year; one of the things he told us about American-made Glocks...
The hardening process used in Austria isn't allowed here in the US, so US-made Glocks are different.
I've fired a good number of them and think they are a good gun, but the angle of the grip doesn't match my preference.
So a flintlock "Saturday night Special"......Yeah...no doubt...it would have to be a "Saturday project" if done at all....

Print the whole thingWe have a 3D printer at school...
I am so tempted to make a plastic flintlock pistol stock....and build a pistol around it...then stamp the barrel with "Glock" in Old English script....just to mess with folks.....

The best comedy reflects current reality.... and stop saying "tongue in cheek"!! They're watching.....
I'll have to sit down on that one
Whatever they do to harden metal in Austria was nixed by our EPA. If I remember what the rep said; US metal parts on Glocks are good, just not as hard as Austrian metal.
Off-gasses from the hardening process is what the EPS found to be so terrible...
He passes through and speaks to us after the gun-free-zone Shot Show, I'll be sure to ask him.
excellent point!I like guns that send the bullet where I'm aiming-

I had heard way back that the Tenifer finish was discontinued here because it uses cyanide in the process.
Glocks are impressive for their reliability. If I had to do a 40,000 round marathon, I would grab a Glock. Having said that, the grip angle is off for me so I'll stick with my 1911's.
