Friends, given current situation in Austria now maybe time to buy a new Glock pistol. Many if not most parts used to assemble Glocks in USA probably come from Austria, therefore, there might be shortages soon. I am in on nice fourth generation 9x19 model. Good luck.

The Georgia plant males glocks top to bottom. Got a 🇺🇸 glock 21 on the arm of my couch. Well not really. The answer in quality difference between the two is quite simple. Absolutely nothing! There are many reasons for this. The Glock USA pistols have American made frame, slide and barrel. The rest of the components come from Austria. All materials for manufacturing the frame, slide and barrels come from Austria and shipped to the US facility. There are no material procurements in the US. Glock Austria keeps 100% quality control of every aspect of production. Another interesting note, Glock manufactures in-house every single component of the pistol down to springs and pins. All tooling, molds, fixtures, gauging, etc is manufactured in-house in Austria. This allows Glock a unique opportunity most US manufacturers do not exercise. Most US gun manufacturers manufacture certain components in-house but subcontract out others. They may also send parts outside to get heat treated, finish or any other coatings. Whereas, Glock has 100% control. As far as process in manufacturing in the US, it is absolutely identical. All CNC machines come from Austria and have been programmed by the same people who do it in Austria. Even the concrete floors in the US facility are identical to the Austrian plant. The US hammer forge barrel machines also come from Austria. The mold machines manufacture both frames as well as the polymer Glock gun cases the pistols are received in. Those cases would be too expensive and bulky to ship from Austria. To assure ability to produce without interruption, Glock USA keeps one year worth of production materials (steel, polymer manufacturing materials and so on) on hand.

Thanks for the info swifty. Pretty laughable Slavek thinks Glock would lose out on it's largest civilian market.

I got a used 1993 Glock 19 in 1998 for $400 plus tax.
The case support is 0.180" from the breech face.
9mm cartridge case heads are 0.160" thick.
This means that I can work up to a side of case kaaboom blow out in my 40sw and 10mm Glocks, but not in my 9mm Glock 19.... the case support is just too good.
But if I keep working up, the 9mm case head fails, but that is not the Glock 19's fault.

This will be brand new gun made in EU, I am glad to support European economy. Resistance is futile...... Have to admit the Chinese make wonderful webbing. The belt attachments are made of solid brass.

He wishes so badly he was born an American. Sad Hell no, but I was surprised by recent verdict in Kanosha Wisconsin. There is still hope for you. You do not have to worry about Europeans anymore. American politicians from both parties will bring workers to work. Now you will be getting wonderful hard working people from: Southeast Asia, Africa, Middle East, South/Meso America. It will be nice to see them appreciate nice housing with indoor plumbing.

🤣 Went slumming today. Left the little village and carried my G26. But then any 9x19 is slumming when you down grade from an all American made 1911 in 45 acp.
