How to Improve a Glock

Glock handguns were first introduced in 1982 for use in the Austrian army. During the late 1980's, American law enforcement agencies began to utilize handguns produced by the Austrian born company. Today, Glock manufactures several different pistols and knives available for both law enforcement and the general public. Glock, as well as several other aftermarket gun accessory manufacturers, provides upgraded components for Glock handguns that are designed to improve their performance and usability. Always install Glock accessories according to the products instructions or have a certified Glock Armorer perform the modifications for you. (ref#1,2,3)
