It is obvious the influence the Glock handguns have had on the pistol market. They are timeless, plain, work every dang time designs.
Well with their success came a lot of competitors. S&W, Springfield, Sig, HK, and countless others all have polymer pistols that are as simple, as reliable, etc. In several cases, for even less money. And competition like this has to be eating into their market share.
So let's put you in the CEO seat. What would you do to get Glock back on top? I know there were rumors of a Glock AR pattern rifle back in the day, but maybe that was just wishful thinking.
So what should Glock do? A complete redesign? Expand their company into making long guns, revolvers, ray guns? I would say make a line of "retro" guns, but they really haven't changed in their lifetime besides size and grip shape. Focus on commercial sales, the market they once had with most police and federal agents carrying them?
Or should they just get used to being the Model T of polymer guns?
Thoughts?
