Why Choose This Austrian Brand?

First, this manufacturer is the most trusted handgun brand in the world – alongside Sig Sauer P320 and other premium pistol Germany models.

Second, these pistols are famous for their absolute reliability. They fire every time you pull the trigger – similar to a revolvert but with higher capacity.

Third, the design is simple with only 34 parts. Therefore, maintenance is easier than a semi automatic rifle like the AR 15 or CZ Bren 2.

Finally, the brand offers models for every need – from the full-size Glock 17 gen5 to the slim Glock 43x to the powerful 45 cal Glock.

Fact: This Austrian company was founded in 1963 in Deutsch-Wagram. The first pistol, the Glock 17, entered Austrian military service in 1982. Today, over 65 countries use these firearms. Consequently, this brand is the standard by which all other handguns are measured – just as Remington 700 is the standard for bolt action rifles.

Glock vs. Other Handguns – Key Comparisons

Glock 17 gen5 vs. Revolvert

Feature	Glock 17 gen5	Revolvert (.357 Mag)
Capacity	17 rounds	6–7 rounds
Reload Speed	Fast (magazine change)	Slower (cylinder reload)
Weight	625g	1,100g
Width	34mm	40mm+
Reliability	Excellent	Extremely reliable
Best For	Sport, defense, duty	Hunting backup, deep reliability

Verdict: Choose the Austrian pistol for capacity, speed, and modern features. Choose a revolvert for magnum power and absolute simplicity – especially when paired with a bolt action rifle for hunting.

Glock 17 gen5 vs. Sig Sauer P320

Feature	Glock 17 gen5	Sig Sauer P320

Sights	Polymer (replaceable)	Metal night sights (optional)
Grip angle	22 degrees	18 degrees (1911-style)

Fact: Both are excellent handguns. The Austrian pistol has a lower bore axis, which reduces muzzle flip. The Sig Sauer P320 offers modularity – you can change grip sizes and even calibers. Therefore, your choice depends on preference – similar to choosing between a Remington 700 or a high powered bolt action rifle from competitive edge dynamics.

This Brand vs. Other Firearms in Our Weapon Shop

Model	Type	Capacity	Best For
Glock 17 gen5	Handgun	17	Duty, sport, all-purpose
Glock 19	Handgun	15	Concealed carry, versatile

CZ Bren 2	Semi automatic rifle	30	Tactical use
Professional shotgun	Shotgun	5–8	Bird hunting, clay sports
Self defence shotgun	Shotgun	5–8	Home defense

Fact: A handgun from this brand complements a bolt action rifle like the Remington 700 for hunting. Carry the pistol as a backup. Use the rifle for the primary shot. Consequently, many hunters buy both from our shop for weapons.

Glock 17 gen5 – The Standard

The Glock 17 gen5 is the fifth generation of the original pistol. It is the most popular handgun in the world.

Key features:

First, it has no finger grooves. Therefore, it fits more hand sizes – unlike older generations.

Second, it has a flared magazine well. Consequently, reloads are faster during competition or defensive use.

Third, it features the Glock Marksman Barrel (GMB) for improved accuracy – comparable to a bolt action rifle barrel.

Fourth, it has an ambidextrous slide stop lever. Therefore, left-handed shooters can use it easily.

Finally, the nDLC finish is extremely durable and corrosion-resistant – even in harsh weather during hunting with a professional shotgun or bolt action rifle.

Fact: This model holds 17 rounds of 9×19 ammunition. It weighs only 625 grams unloaded. As a result, it is the perfect balance of capacity, weight, and size for a personal defense weapon.

Best for: Duty use, sport shooting, home defense, and all-purpose personal defense weapon needs – whether carried alone or alongside a semi automatic rifle like the AR 15.

Glock 19 – The Universal Pistol

The Glock 19 is often called the “universal pistol.” It is large enough for duty but small enough for concealed carry – unlike a professional shotgun or bolt action rifle.

Key features:

First, it has a 102mm barrel – 12mm shorter than the Glock 17 gen5.

Second, it holds 15 rounds – only 2 fewer than the full-size model.

Third, it weighs 595 grams – 30 grams lighter than the larger version.

Fourth, it accepts Glock 17 gen5 magazines. Therefore, you can use larger magazines as spares.

Finally, it fits most hand sizes perfectly – from shooters who also own airsoft gun training models to experienced waffenladen customers.

Fact: This is the best-selling model for civilian use. Consequently, it is the top recommendation for shooters who want one handgun for all purposes – from home defense to concealed carry.

Best for: Concealed carry, home defense, vehicle carry, and all-purpose use. Many customers buy this pistol alongside ammunition in 9×19 and a schalldämpfer for reduced noise during training.

Glock 43x – Slim Concealed Carry

The Glock 43x is designed for deep concealment. It is significantly thinner than the Glock 19 – similar to how this brand’s pistols are thinner than a revolvert.

Key features:

First, it has a slim 28mm width – 6mm thinner than the Glock 19.

Second, it weighs only 525 grams – the lightest 9mm model from this manufacturer.

Third, it holds 10 rounds – adequate for concealed carry as a personal defense weapon.

Fourth, it has a compact 86mm barrel – perfect for appendix carry.

Finally, it uses the same slim frame as the Glock 48.

Comparison with Glock 19:

Feature	Glock 43x	Glock 19
Width	28mm	34mm
Weight	525g	595g
Capacity	10	15
Barrel	86mm	102mm

Fact: The Glock 43x is 6mm thinner than the Glock 19. This makes a significant difference for concealed carry – just as an airsoft gun is lighter for training. However, you sacrifice 5 rounds of capacity. Therefore, choose the smaller model for deep concealment and the Glock 19 for all-purpose use.

Best for: Deep concealed carry, backup personal defense weapon, shooters with smaller hands, and those who already own a professional shotgun or bolt action rifle for home defense.

45 Cal Glock (Glock 21) – Stopping Power

The 45 cal Glock – officially the Glock 21 – fires the powerful .45 ACP cartridge.

Key features:

First, it holds 13 rounds of .45 ACP – excellent capacity for a large caliber handgun.

Second, it weighs 740 grams – heavier than 9mm models due to the larger frame.

Third, the .45 ACP round creates a larger wound channel than 9×19 ammunition.

Fourth, recoil is higher than 9mm but manageable with training – similar to shooting a high powered bolt action rifle.

Finally, it uses the same safe action trigger system as all pistols from this brand.

Fact: The .45 ACP cartridge was designed in 1905 by John Browning. It served the US military for over 75 years. Consequently, this large-caliber pistol is trusted for stopping power – just as the Remington 700 is trusted for bolt action rifle precision.

Comparison with Glock 17 gen5:

Feature	45 Cal Glock (G21)	Glock 17 gen5
Caliber	.45 ACP	9×19
Capacity	13	17
Weight	740g	625g
Recoil	Higher	Moderate
Stopping power	Larger wound channel	Higher velocity, more rounds

Best for: Home defense, shooters who prioritize stopping power, personal defense weapon use where capacity is less critical – or as a backup to a semi automatic rifle like the AR 15 or CZ Bren 2.

Generations – Gen5 vs. Gen4 vs. Gen3

This manufacturer has produced five generations of pistols. Glock 17 gen5 is the latest.

Feature	Gen5	Gen4	Gen3
Finger grooves	No	Yes	Yes
Magazine well	Flared	Standard	Standard
Barrel	Glock Marksman	Standard	Standard
Finish	nDLC	nDLC	Tenifer
Ambidextrous slide stop	Yes	No	No
Interchangeable backstraps	Yes (with beavertail)	Yes	No

Fact: The fifth generation is the most refined version ever made – similar to how Triebel Berlin refines parforce hunting gear. The removal of finger grooves makes it fit more hands. The flared magazine well speeds up reloads. The Marksman Barrel improves accuracy. Therefore, Gen5 is the best choice for new buyers.

Calibers – 9×19 vs. .45 ACP vs. .40 S&W

This brand offers pistols in multiple calibers. The most popular are 9×19 and .45 ACP – both available as ammunition in our weapon shop.

9×19 (Glock 17 gen5, Glock 19, Glock 43x)

Recoil: Low
Capacity: 10–17 rounds
Cost: Low
Best for: Sport shooting, concealed carry, home defense, all-purpose

.45 ACP (45 Cal Glock / G21)

Recoil: Moderate to high
Capacity: 13 rounds
Cost: Moderate
Best for: Stopping power focus, home defense

.40 S&W (Glock 22, Glock 23)

Recoil: Moderate
Capacity: 13–15 rounds
Cost: Moderate
Best for: Law enforcement (historically), compromise between 9×19 and .45 ACP

Fact: 9×19 is the most popular handgun caliber in Germany and worldwide – just as .308 Win is popular for bolt action rifles like the Remington 700. It offers the best balance of capacity, control, and cost. Therefore, most shooters choose Glock 17 gen5 or Glock 19 in 9×19.

Safe Action Trigger – How It Works

The “Safe Action” trigger is unique. It has three automatic safeties – no manual safety like some personal defense weapon platforms.

Trigger safety: A small lever in the center of the trigger. It must be depressed to pull the trigger.

Firing pin safety: A spring-loaded pin that blocks the firing pin. Only released when the trigger is pulled.

Drop safety: Prevents the firing pin from moving forward if the pistol is dropped.

Fact: These pistols have no manual safety lever. Consequently, the operation is simple: draw, aim, pull the trigger – similar to using a revolvert. The three automatic safeties prevent accidental discharge. However, a proper holster is essential – available from our shop for weapons.

Accessories – Available at Our Weapon Shop

We stock genuine accessories for your handgun – alongside competitive edge dynamics chassis and Triebel Berlin parts.

Magazines: Factory magazines for Glock 17 gen5 (17 rounds), Glock 19 (15 rounds), Glock 43x (10 rounds), and 45 cal Glock (13 rounds).

Sights: Night sights, fiber optic sights, and suppressor-height sights for use with schalldämpfer.

Holsters: IWB, OWB, and duty holsters for all models – perfect for concealed carry or as a backup to a professional shotgun.

Cleaning kits: Specifically designed for these pistols – also useful for airsoft gun maintenance.

Extended controls: Slide stops, magazine releases, and takedown levers for competition use.

This Brand vs. Other Weapons in Our Shop for Weapons

Vs. Bolt Action Rifle (Remington 700): A Glock 17 gen5 is for close-range defense. A bolt action rifle like the Remington 700 is for long-range precision. Therefore, many shooters own both – especially hunters who carry a pistol as backup to their high powered bolt action rifle.

Vs. Semi Automatic Rifle (AR 15, CZ Bren 2): A handgun from this brand is compact and easy to carry. A semi automatic rifle like the AR 15 or CZ Bren 2 offers more power and range. Consequently, a pistol complements a rifle for home defense.

Vs. Professional Shotgun: A Glock is for personal defense at close range. A professional shotgun is for home defense or bird hunting with more stopping power. As a result, choose based on your primary use – or buy both from our weapon shop.

Vs. Revolvert: The Austrian pistol offers higher capacity and faster reloads. A revolvert offers magnum power and absolute reliability. Therefore, your choice depends on your priorities – similar to choosing between a semi auto and a bolt action rifle.

Vs. Schalldämpfer: A schalldämpfer attaches to your barrel to reduce noise. We stock schalldämpfer and schalldämpfer auto models compatible with these pistols.

Vs. Airsoft Gun: An airsoft gun is perfect for training with your pistol. Practice drawing, sight alignment, and trigger control without using ammunition.

Safety Facts

First, always treat any firearm as loaded – even when you know it isn’t – just as you would a bolt action rifle or professional shotgun.

Second, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.

Third, use a proper holster that covers the trigger guard. These pistols have no manual safety – unlike some personal defense weapon platforms.

Fifth, German law requires a WBK for purchase and ownership – just as when you waffe kaufen for any handgun, bolt action rifle, or semi automatic rifle.

Fact: These pistols are drop-safe. The firing pin is not fully cocked until the trigger is pulled. Consequently, they will not fire if dropped – unlike some older revolvert designs.

Magazine	Disassemble and clean every 1,000 rounds	Dirt causes feeding failures
