It depends on where you hit the giant. David hit Goliath right between the eyes with a stone....so they say.It took 8 or 9 shots to by the cop in Ferguson. Mo. to bring down the "Gentile Giant" using a 9mm.
Whereas, 1.....maybe 2 shots with a .45 would have ended the thug's career. .....
If they are like the Smith & Wesson M&P40, it's only the police models that have that feature.Useful feature of Glocks that make them preferred for law enforcement and security is the weapon can't fire if the magazine's ejected. Good for the ol' "Give me your weapon or I shoot the hostage." Can get trained in slyly ejecting the mag before handing it over.
Afaik it's standard design. This is 20 years ago though. Been off the job ever since so I can't say with any absolutely certainty how they're made now.
Much as I like Glocks, buy American if wanting to 'do your part.'
Colt, in recent years, has sort of turned against the customer base that made the company successful by stating that they wouldn't sell high capacity mags to the general public. I now buy my mags from Magpul and my guns from anyone but Colt.
1) Hopefully, Mr. Glock will find a way to protect his company and his cash from any and all gold-diggers.
2) I'm sure Mr. Glock has cash stored in banks all round the globe and will be able to rebound with little effort.
3) I guess I'll have to buy another Glock (already have a second generation pistol from the late 80s) and help the company's profits a little more.
4) Even if Glock's company DID crumble as a result of a disgruntled old malcontent of an ex-wife there are enough companies making very similar guns that life would go on in the gun world. Business as usual.
Not only that but the soon to be ex Ms. Glock will also protect the golden goose.

Read on the side of the gun where it says MADE IN USA. So far, this is the only model they have that is MADE IN USA. All others will say AUSTRIA on the side.Made in USAMuch as I like Glocks, buy American if wanting to 'do your part.'
Glocks are an Austrian invention. Is a difference between being an American product, and being assembled here. Lotta Japanese cars are assembled here but hardly 'American cars.'

Some "American" cars are made in Mexico, some in Canada. Some "American" cars that are assembled in the USA have their engines shipped in from Mexico.Made in USAMuch as I like Glocks, buy American if wanting to 'do your part.'

The Glock 42 is MADE IN USA.
Was rated on the Glock 17, wanted a 22 using the 'new' .40 S&W round. Memories...(hums)

Have assembly plants in Hong Kong and UAE too, does the Chinese and UAE stamped versions mean you're supporting those countries?
Glock's an Austrian company. Having an assembly plant outside Austria doesn't make them where ever the plant is in origin. They're still Austrian.
Never have bought a Glock. I was, however, gifted one a couple years ago by my evil red-headed stepson. It was soon after he got home from his second deployment to Afghanistan, for which he was awarded the Bronze Star.
Among the very best stock weapons. So reliable they can fire underwater (effective range just 3 feet or so but it's the thought that counts. This feature is why they're standard issue for Naval aircrews who may find themselves ditching in water.) And as idiot proof as a revolver.
Feeling all nostalgic now.
Apparently, millions disagree with you....including 2/3 of America's police departments. Some parts are composite material...to reduce the weight. The important parts are high quality steel."Do your part - Buy a Glock"
Forget it.
Ugly, nasty, plastic pistols.
