Why Are Glocks so Popular?

There are plenty of people who are looking to invest in a simple, reliable handgun. Without a doubt, one of the most popular options that rise right to the top of the list is Glock handguns. Some people are even asking why Glocks are so popular? Today, Glock is known to be American’s handgun; however, how did it get here? What are some of the major benefits? There are a few points that everyone should keep in mind.

Glock Design Features

When Glock first reached the market, American police officers were being outgunned by criminals who were running rampant across the entire country. Police departments everywhere were looking for an upgrade. That was when Gaston Glock stepped up to the plate. He delivered the pistol of the future, which addressed exactly what many police officers were lacking. This was how the Glock first arrived in the United States.

Immediately, police forces took a liking to the Glock. One of the major reasons why was the variation in the design features when compared to the weapons they were currently using. First, instead of a six-round magazine, Glock usually comes with 17 rounds. This means that officers can fire more shots before it is time to reload, which could save a life.

In addition, the trigger pull of a Glock is five pounds instead of 12. This means that a Glock is easier to fire when compared to other weapons. This also means that officers are less likely to get tired.

Furthermore, a Glock is so much lighter than a traditional revolver. If an officer is wearing a gun on his or her hip for 12 hours at a time, this is going to get heavy after a while. The truly unique feature of a Glock is that it is made of plastic instead of steel. This is what contributes to how light it is. This also provides the Glock design large magazine capacity. These are just a few of the unique features that set Glock above the rest.

The Reliability of the Glock

In addition to these new design features, a Glock is simply more reliable than other handguns. The reason why is that there are fewer parts to a Glock than other manufacturers. On average, other guns have twice as many parts as Glocks. This means that there are fewer parts that can break. This is one of the biggest reasons why Glocks are so reliable. They rarely break. This means that nobody will ever have to worry about their Glock not doing what it is told.

Furthermore, the unique design process also means that many of the parts are interchangeable. For example, if there are a bunch of old Glocks laying around, many of the parts are going to fit newer models. This makes it easier to repair Glocks that might have a busted part or two. This saves time and money.

Glock Aftermarket Part Modifications

Because Glocks are designed so simply, there are plenty of aftermarket parts that people can add as well. For example, some people might not like the fact that the trigger pull weight is so light. They might want a gun that fires with more intentionality. There are aftermarket springs and trigger extensions that people can add to the Glock that will give it a larger pull weight.

In addition, some people might be looking for a way to make the Glock easier to control. This can be done using an aftermarket part such as the Reduced Power Firing Pin Safety Plunger Spring that will reduce the firing power itself. If they don’t need the same level of power from the Glock, they might be willing to trade some of the power for increased control and accuracy.

Finally, there are also aftermarket parts that can be added to the Glock’s magazine. This can change the color, style, and size of the magazine itself.

Today, Glock is called America’s handgun. It has a reputation for simplicity and reliability. With few moving parts, there is little that can go wrong. Furthermore, because a Glock has so few parts, it is also easy to add aftermarket accessories.
