In the 1980s, the development of a pistol to meet the needs of the Austrian army began.
Austrian engineer and businessman Gaston Glock, known as the designer of the semi-automatic pistol that bears his surname, died on Wednesday at the age of 94, the Austrian news agency APA reported, cited by Reuters.
In the early 1980s, Glock began developing a pistol to meet the needs of the Austrian Army. In 1983, his weapon was accepted for use in the Austrian armed forces.
A year later, the Glock 17 passed NATO durability tests, becoming the standard pistol of the Norwegian Armed Forces.
According to information from the gun manufacturer Glock GmbH, approximately 65% of federal, state and local agencies in the United States have purchased Glock pistols.
