Brand new pistol Glock 46
For decades, Glock has been using tried-and-tested pistol models, but the details of the various generations, such as the Glock 17 or Glock 19, are the hallmarks of the various generations. The engineers in Deutsch-Wagram now developed the Glock 46 with a new locking system.
While almost the entire professional world still holds the 5th generation of Glock 17 and Glock 19 for the great Glock novelty of the year 2017, we have seen the real novelty, the Glock 46, dismantled, assembled and shot with it. The fact that the manufacturer from Deutsch-Wagram is launching this model onto the market does not mean that he is starting from his previous models to say goodbye. For this, these pistols are much too good and much too well introduced in soon 100 countries. These numerous well-known models now receive a company from their own company, which should ensure that additional markets can be developed, for example in Germany.
A clear statement by Glock CEO Dr. Stephan Dörler: "With our new G 46 with 9 mm × 19 revolving caliper, we do not carry out a paradigm shift and introduce the replacement of our previous models. The new G 46 is intended for authorities and supplements the consistently continued line of the Basispistole Glock 17. "
Glock has designed the G 46 to be able to participate in calls for tenders by the German police forces. For this, the first hurdle, the TR, the technical guideline for pistols in the caliber of 9 mm × 19 must be overcome. The second hurdle is the rules: ER, testing guidelines for the technical guideline. The author of both works is the Polizeitechnische Institut (PTI) of the German College of Police (DHPol) in Münster. The TR-ER test procedure is then carried out at the Beschmamtamt Ulm.
Like the glitter-branded Glock pistol, designed by Generalmajor aD, Dipl.-Ing. Friedrich Dechant, a Koryphäe of gun building, is built, locked and works, read in detail in DWJ 10/2017. The booklet will be published on 20 September.
