RIP Gaston Glock

[Ultrarunner]

May you rest in peace as one of the greatest firearm innovators that ever lived.

 

[jaypap]

He changed the firearms industry. Hats off to him.

RIP.

I lost count, how many wives and how young were they?

 

[Dressed to Kill]

My guy lived a long full life. My first pistol was a Glock rest in peace

 

[groundscrapers]

what he did for the horse semen game was immeasurable.

Going by this we might get some more innovation
Seemed like a "rifle is fine" type of guy

Glock is now more than ever a one-man show. His two sons, Robert and Gaston Jr., and his daughter, Brigitte, have company jobs but limited authority. When asked what her role is, Brigitte cracks in German, "Being my father's personal slave." Who has input into product development? Showing rare humor, Glock smiles: "You might call it ‘a very small committee.'"

Born in 1929 in Austria and all his history starts in 1963 when he already has money and a factory


Guy did upgrade his wife at some point
I think he did well
until the divorce
Age 82

To best honor Gaston and his legacy everyone on NES should go out this weekend and buy a .45 GAP Glock.

Mr. Glock may be dead, but that doesn't mean the cartridge with his name in it has to RIP too.

Along with my dad and Steve Jobs, Gaston Glock was one of the most influential people in my life.

R.I.P.

 

[Yosemite Sam]

I do like Glock guns, however the 45GAP is as dead as Gaston
