With its lightweight plastic frame and large-capacity spring-action magazine, the advantages of the Glock pistol were recognized immediately. Created in 1982 by an Austrian curtain-rod manufacturer, the handgun is now used by two-thirds of American police departments. Barrett’s history of the Glock’s technology and marketing covers corporate and political battles as well as this country’s pervasive gun culture.
