I'm just sayin', is all.
Hey bro I know what glocks are. I wasn't born yesterday and I've used glocks for a long time. My statement wasn't putting glock quality down so cool your jets before you blow your pacemaker.Do you have any evidence that Glock sales are down? I sure as hell don't. In fact I'd bet that they are selling a lot of guns, more then ever. And they make a lot more on there guns then what everybody else does. Not to mention all the money from patent lawsuits.
If you don't like Glocks that your right. But facts are friendly. Glocks are great guns, they sell a crap ton of them, you can bet your life on them, they did change the game forever when they came to market, and every gun maker today wishes they had Glock's marketshare.
Im not some Glock fanboy that thinks Glocks are the only guns ever made, or that there are not other great poly guns out there. Glocks are what they are. What they are; one of the most reliable popular guns in the world.

Why the he** would I want a .380 Glock??
Glock Ges.m.b.H., an Austrian firearms manufacturer, utilizes the Tenifer process to protect the barrels and slides of the pistols they manufacture. The finish on a Glock pistol is the third and final hardening process. It is 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) thick and produces a 64 Rockwell C hardness rating via a 500 °C (932 °F) nitride bath. The final matte, non-glare finish meets or exceeds stainless steel specifications, is 85% more corrosion resistant than a hard chrome finish, and is 99.9% salt-water corrosion resistant. After the Tenifer process, a black Parkerized finish is applied and the slide is protected even if the finish were to wear off. Besides Glock several other pistol manufacturers, including Smith & Wesson and Springfield Armory, Inc., also use ferritic nitrocarburizing for finishing parts like barrels and slides but they call it Melonite finish.
I think I saw someone mention once that it can't be done here because of EPA guidelines.Since the Tenifer process was invented in the early eighties the patent has probably expired so Glock should be able to use that process anywhere.

So I've been seeing seeing alot of the USA made glocks surface lately, first when TYM sold his Austrian collection to purchase USA glocks, and more recently I've come across more and more on GB...First of all, I know they've been assembled and imported to GA for quite some time now and I'm not too concerned with this issue, but do you think:
A.) Quality control will diminish (Kinda like SIG did for awhile)
B.) Austrian Glocks will become more valuable
C.) New Designs
I like the prospect of a "new glock" but I think it would **** a lot of people off. Here's my rationale, If Glock is now being manufactured here whose to say the possibility of a poly 1911 might be a reality? I know there are some out there, but lets be honest, if anyone could legitimately pull it off I think it would be Glock....Do you guys think Glock will change it's unified design or "Austrian ways" with the new USA stamp, or will Glock always remain Glock?
why did one of our INGO gun shops tell me Glock was a million guns behind in production? I would like to say it was Bradis
What did you mean by the government not allowing a Glock .380?
I'm not a fanboy in the traditional sense that Glocks are perfect and without any flaw and that everything else sucks, but I'll also say that the tennifer coating is darn nice. I've skipped my glocks acroos the dirt before, dropped them and given them some hard livin and they always seem to wipe off and look brand new again. The tennifer coating is good stuff and I wish more guns in the US could be coated with it.
I do get a kick out of folks that think it has to be Glock's Tenifer or it's crap.
It's a trade name / protected territory issue.
In the USA, it's most commonly called Melonite. Perhaps a few have heard of it?
Also, it is not a coating. I will say, however, that Glock's parkerizing on top of the Tenifered steel is indeed quite robust.
So, unless the slides are shipped to Smyrna, GA already finished (which they may be), then they won't be "Tenifer treated".

As far as evidence that glock sales are down, or have been impacted, yes it out there. Glock themselves has said the gen4 line didn't go as well as they thought and also I can look and see how popular the M&P line is and know it gave glock a run for their money.
no. No one is gonna ever surpass glock in my opinion, unless they can offer the same quality for a $100 lower price point.
for someone who isn't a glock fan boi you sure do throw a big tantrum over them.

Er... Exactly what game is this likely to change?!?
