Pics of 100% USA Made Glock (56K beware)

[Moose-Knuckle]

Now, whether or not the market is there in order to make it worthwhile to Glock is another story.

That is the question that is begged to be asked.

After the last POTUS election .380 was one of the first calibers to dry up and the hardest to find. I contribute this to a market where that caliber is not supported very well (i.e. manufactures just don't make it compared to 9mm, .40 S&W, .357 Sig, and .45 ACP) and the advent of some popular handguns such as the Ruger LCP, Diamondback DB380.

Personally I have no use for a .380.

Me either BUT if Glock did make and sell them here in the US I'd buy one of each for the "collection" because I'm a Glock whore.

So is this akin to Exeter Sigs? If so, I better snatch up some foreign guns before the US gets their corner-cutting hands on em.

They would be fast movers, I know several GLOCK "collectors" that would love to complete the line up.

And a brand new very expensive facility to manufacture a US made 5.56. Let the rumors continue......

As per our Glock rep, the US facilities have been used to produce weapons for US .mil customers, who can't buy imported Glocks.

I buy that story much more than I buy them exporting these.

Which may be why they removed a small mountain behind the Smyrna facility for the construction of a rather large, high dollar manufacturing facility to produce......rifles?

I'll happily buy a 100% US made Gen. 3 Glock 17, if they'll let me at one. I have zero interest in a .380 Glock.

This is what I was told when my G26 was on backorder. Rumor or not I don't know, but I do favor Tennifer finish over the m&p's, bluing, and the rest that I have seen.

since when is the M&P blued?

[PlatoCATM]

since when is the M&P blued?

I never said it was.

I meant the m&p's finish, bluing in general, and the the rest of the finishes I am familiar with such as nickel finish. I have no experience with np3 or anything that new or less-widely used.

the M&P is melonite, which supposedly is, from an end user perspective, equivalent to tenifer.
smith and wesson did have some teething problems with the process though, so your concern certainly isn't unwarranted.

i wont' be the first in line for a USA glock, but i don't see why the pistols couldn't be produced correctly here.

Not to suggest that Glocks are absolutely perfect, just saying there are so few parts to begin with I would imagine if corners were cut by US beancounters the guns may not work out of the box.
