And yet, Glock refuses to do so for US contracts or commercial sale.
From what I heard, Glock submitted a pistol to the most recent service trials (the testing looking for the next US service pistol) and it was promptly rejected. It wasn't that it was tested and failed, it was rejected, without testing. And, for cause, in my opinion.
Glock got mad, made noises about going to court, until their lawyers explained what a barking stupid idea that was, because, the simply had no case.
The requirements to be considered for testing included the pistol had to have a manual safety. The gun Glock submitted did not, and so, was automatically excluded.
Glock could make such a gun, I've never seen one, but I've heard that they have, but chooses not to for the guns we see here in the US.
I don't know why, perhaps they have bought into their own advertising hype, and consider us foolish for rejecting "perfection"......
Glock was tested as part of the recent MHS contract. You can read the GAO report that gives the test results in a number of categories.
This article has some information from the report:
