tipoc said:We can quibble on the title of the book but it's pretty much unquestionable that Glock changed the face of handgunning in the U.S.
When Sig launched the P320, people were saying "Finally! Sig Sauer joins the striker fired world!"
Love or hate Glock pistols, yes, they transformed the world of autoloaders. They may not have been the first with much of anything, but they did take a polymer framed striker fired design, made it utterly reliable, and sold it at a very reasonable price while making a good profit doing it.
The book is an interesting look at where the company came from and how they did business. I'd like to say it would be hard to believe a company of any kind could do the same things today, but then again, I think I would be surprised how often such "Glock nights" at the "gentlemen's" clubs still occur in many industries.
