Glock 17 vs 19 In 1980, the Austrian army set out to replace its standard Walther P38 handguns with a more modern and reliable pistol. The army established 17 criteria that the new firearm had to meet in order to be selected. Enter Gaston Glock, a man who seized the opportunity and embarked on creating a brand-new, modern handgun to compete in the selection process. With a team of expert engineers, Glock developed a working prototype of what would later be known as the Glock 17, and submitted it to the Austrian army for evaluation. Despite fierce competition from well-established gun manufacturers, the Glock 17 emerged victorious, becoming an instant bestseller in both Europe and the United States. Over the years, Glock continued to improve and expand its lineup, introducing models like the G26, G34, G43, and the Glock 19.
