Gaston Glock, the Austrian engineer who founded the Glock company and developed the renowned Glock handgun, has passed away at the age of 94. Glock’s revolutionary design, which introduced a lighter, more cost-effective, and reliable handgun, became widely used by law enforcement agencies, military forces in various countries, and civilian customers around the world. The Glock brand earned a prominent position in the firearm industry under his leadership, with over 25,000 pistols delivered to the Austrian military between 1982 and 1984. Glock’s innovative contributions have left a lasting impact on the small arms industry.
