Yes. It's a widely-known plastic-framed police/military semi-automatic pistol, generally in 9mm, .40, and .45. But it is produced by Nazi Austria.
The majority of Austrians reject Nazism today, and the Glock is one of the best produced handguns on the market. It's cost effective, extremely reliable, lightweight, and you can beat it like a bastard step child (only kidding
)
Anyways, who cares where the guns made, use what works, guns have no loyalty. If it works, use it.
Personally I'm not a huge fan of the Glock but I give it credit, they were not the first polymer framed gun however, H&K made the VP70 in 1970 which was technically the first polymer frame.
Gaston Glock the creator of the Glock series of handguns is a interesting fella
Gaston Glock (1929- ) is an Austrian engineer, and founder of firearms company Glock. The Glock "safe-action" pistol is well-regarded and has often been copied by other companies. The process of producing the Glock pistol includes the application of Tenifer, a patented metal treatment that hardens the slides.
[edit] Biography
[edit] Murder attempt
In July 1999 in an apparent attempt to cover his embezzlement of millions from the Glock company, Glock's associate Charles Ewert hired 67 year old French-born ex-mercenary Jacques Pêcheur to murder Glock in a garage in Luxembourg. Glock was able to fend off the attack and survived with seven head wounds and some cuts and abrasions and as a result of these injuries, he lost about a litre of blood. Jacques Pêcheur was sentenced to 17 years in prison for the attack. As a result of Pêcheur's testimony, Charles Ewert was sentenced to 20 years.[1]
