had a customer that came into our shop and was talking about "ceramic" Glocks. Evidentally they were extremely limited production a number of years ago.

No one had much info or really knows anything. One of the guys thought it might be a class III if they did exist. Any info appreciated
 
Urban Legend! It does not exist. I believe that rumor was started in a Die Hard movie. Anyone else know if that is where it started?
 
Bingo! it was one of Bruce's Die hard movies, Don't remember if it was one or two though. I think it was referred to as the Glock Model 7 (never existed).
 
There was a ceramic gun shown in the movie "In the Line of Fire". John Malkovich played the Assasin, and Clint Eastwood was the struggling Secret Service agent who saved the day. If i remember correctly, it was a two-shot pistol with two or three components that were assembled at the kill site. It was a blocky, pale-looking gun.

Was that, by any chance, a real pistol? :confused:
 
No such thing. Another one of those urban legends that will not die.

The "In the Line of Fire" idea is interesting though. Ceramic materials are by nature brittle, but for a highly limited number of shots this is not an issue.
 
I had a chance to handle an unusual pistol made out of epoxy a while ago; it was made in prison, with two barrels that were electrically-fired. This guy had stripped some electrical components out of something, laid them in a mold, covered them all with epoxy, and then carved everything away that didn't look like a pistol. It would have worked for the first two shots at least (using match-heads for powder), but it was confiscated before he had the opportunity to use it. This is about as close as you'll find to a "plastic gun that can go through metal detectors".
 
And I thought I had already had my ebay humor for the week...
