Glock Pistols & Accessories

Glock GmbH builds polymer-framed striker-fired pistols that changed how law enforcement and civilians think about defensive handguns. Since the early 1980s, their designs have focused on simplicity, reliability in adverse conditions, and consistent trigger performance across the entire product line. You’ll find their pistols in police holsters across Europe, on competitive shooting lines, and in private safes from Vienna to Edinburgh.

GLOCK Semi-Automatic Pistols

The current catalog spans compact, subcompact, and full-size frames across multiple calibers. The Glock 17 remains their full-size 9mm service pistol with a standard high-capacity double-stack magazine. The Glock 19 shortens the grip and slide for easier concealment while retaining a similar double-stack 9mm capacity. For deep concealment, the Glock 43 offers a slim single-stack 9mm configuration that favors minimal width and reduced overall size. The Glock 9mm models dominate their sales, though they produce similar frame sizes in .40 S&W, .45 ACP, 10mm Auto, .380 ACP, and other calibers. Each Glock model uses the same Safe Action trigger system with three independent safeties that disengage sequentially as you press the trigger.

Pistol Accessories

Factory magazines, extended slide releases, and different backstrap sizes let you adjust the grip geometry to your hand. They also produce factory night sights, various recoil spring assemblies, and extended magazine releases. The accessory rail molded into many frames accepts popular weapon-mounted lights and lasers, giving you options to configure the pistol for duty use, home defense, or concealed carry.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer setting up home defense or someone running IPSC competitions, there’s a Glock model that fits the application. Pricing typically sits in the mid to upper range for polymer-framed service pistols, with actual retail cost depending on the specific model and current availability.

FAQs

Why is a gun called a Glock?

The name comes from the company founder, Gaston Glock, an Austrian engineer who developed the first Glock pistol in the early 1980s. Unlike many firearms named after functional characteristics or military designations, this brand simply carries the inventor’s surname. The naming convention stuck as the company grew into one of the most recognized pistol manufacturers globally.

Is Glock better than Beretta?

They serve different purposes with distinct designs: Beretta’s 92 series uses a traditional double-action/single-action trigger with an exposed hammer, while Glock uses a striker-fired system with a consistent trigger pull. Glock pistols generally weigh less due to polymer construction and can hold more ammunition in a comparable size. Beretta models often appeal to shooters who prefer a manual safety and hammer-fired operation, while Glock suits those wanting a simpler manual of arms with fewer external controls.

Is Glock only 9mm?

No, the company produces pistols in .380 ACP, 9x19mm, .40 S&W, .357 SIG, .45 ACP, 10mm Auto, and .45 GAP across their model range. The 9mm variants like the G17, G19, and G43 represent some of their most popular sellers, but the same general frame sizes are available in multiple calibers. For example, the G20 uses a full-size frame chambered in 10mm, while the G30 offers .45 ACP in a compact package.

Is a Glock a beginner gun?

Their pistols work well for beginners due to the simple manual of arms: no external manual safeties to remember, no hammer to decock, and a consistent trigger pull for every shot. The polymer frame reduces weight, making extended range sessions less fatiguing. However, the relatively light trigger and short travel still require proper trigger-finger discipline and training, like any defensive pistol.
