Buy Glock 17L 9mm Online Australia
Introduction
When you buy a Glock 17, you’re also buying more than 50 years of service behind it.
The company was founded by Austrian engineer Gaston Glock in 1963. The company originally produced steel and plastic parts, and Glock didn’t design his first firearm until after his 50th birthday. What Glock lacked in ballistics experience he made up for with his expertise in synthetic polymers, helping create the world’s first successful line of pistols with a nonmetal, polymer frame.
The company opened its first U.S. subsidiary in 1985, despite initial resistance to its “plastic guns.” The Glock 17 contributes to this legacy, helping substantiate the company’s claim as the most popular line of pistols for law enforcement agencies in America.
The gun is 8.03 inches long, 5.43 inches tall, and 1.18 inches wide. The Glock 17 weighs 32.12 ounces when loaded and 25.06 when unloaded. The barrel is 1.26 inches in height and 4.48 inches long, extending 6.49 inches between sights. The barrel rifling is right-handed and hexagonal with a 9.84-inch twist. The trigger takes about 5.5 pounds of pressure to depress and it travels about .49 inches. The standard magazine capacity is 17 rounds.
The GLOCK G17 rocked the American firearm landscape with its introduction in 1986. Following the success of GLOCK’s Pistole 80 issued for use in the Austrian Military, GLOCK set up shop in Georgia and set out to produce the now-iconic handgun for the US. Named by Gaston Glock for his 17th patent, the pistol was introduced as the GLOCK 17. By 1988, changes were made and the next generation GLOCK 17 was introduced. Sought after by collectors and gun enthusiasts alike, the “GEN 1” GLOCK 17 is true to the original. You now have the opportunity to “Put The Future In The Palm Of Your Hand” as the original 1986 advertisements suggested.
