What is so special about a Glock?

Glock handguns are known for being easy to use, reliable, and accurate. Glock pistols have been used by law enforcement agencies around the world since they were first introduced in 1982. Glock has also become a favorite among recreational shooters because of their ruggedness and ease-of-use. They are popular with many types of people — from hunters to competitive shooters.

Are Glocks legal everywhere?

Glock handguns are legal in most cities in America but some locations do have restrictions on firearm ownership or may ban certain firearms entirely depending on local laws. Glock handguns are legal in most cities and states but Glock does not have a distribution center in all locations so it is best to check local laws before purchasing one.

However, Glock also offers .22LR conversion kits and Glock suppressor sights for Glock pistols that can be used at any location where firearm use or possession is allowed. The .22LR kit comes complete with the slide assembly of your choice, barrel assembly, magazine housing and three 25-round magazines.

While some people purchase Glock brand firearms because they want a gun that has been approved by law enforcement agencies around the world — other people buy them just because they like how easy Glocks are to shoot! Many Glock owners say that Glock handguns are as easy to use as a point-and-shoot camera!

What is the difference between semi automatic vs full auto Glock pistol?

A Glock can be fired either as a semi automatic or fully automatically like military weapons such as assault rifles which shoot continuously when you hold down the trigger. Glock handguns are manufactured by Glock in three different configurations;

Glock 17 — semi-automatic pistol Glock 22 — .40 caliber, full size Glock 21 — .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol), compact Glock 31 (.357 Sig) and Glock 32 (.40 S&W), subcompacts

The larger the number for each model designation is generally considered to be a “full sized” handgun while numbers ending with a 0 indicate shorter models that may also have smaller dimensions than other variants of their same line can vary depending on calibers they fire. For instance, you might see both the G17 and G22 referred to as either Compact or Full Size Glocks but keep in mind that one shoots at standard velocity ammunition while the other shoots .40 caliber ammunition at higher velocity.

For Glock handguns, you should refer to the model number printed on your Glock handgun for specific information about its size and firing mode (semi automatic or automatically).
