Glocks carried for personal security professionals

Dontcha know, we the people means we the profits?

The Glock marketing strategy was to get LE to adopt Glocks, so the civilian market would want them, and that's where the money is. They were positioned with a reliable gun at a low price right when the tidal wave of LE wanting a high cap semi auto was happening. Their marketing strategy was brilliant. It is a good reliable firearm that was cheap to buy in quantity and it became an institution in itself.

I’ve owned more than a few Glocks. Not one failed to go bang ever. Whether 1000+ rounds or just a couple hundred before I moved it on. While I did replace the sights on a few (mainly to add black sights to see MOS optic dots better), the triggers on all worked just fine. I would have zero qualms running a Glock for a security detail.

If I still possessed any strikers, the majority would be Glock…and one Hellcat running a treaded barrel and compensator kit. But that’s water under the bridge.

Though I always prefer to shoot a 1911, for body guard security work I’d opt for maximum magazine rounds. Of course at 68, I’m really not seeing ANY of that work in my future…until next life !

I thought it was because of Glocks other businesses dealing.
