The article is dated July 10, 2009 - how would they know what the 1st quarter 2010 sales were?
 
Like WC145 said, the article is dated 2009, not 2010. Seems like that sarcasm might have backfired on you.
 
I love the haters. I wonder if the one on page one has ever owned a glock or actually read up on them. Mine has been wonderful since day one. Not a single ftf or fte. But that is awesome for glock.
 
That's good! Welcome to the brotherhood of Glock.

I only have 2 Glocks but they are so fun to shoot. I have 2 1911s and they are also wonderful pistols for plinking.
 
Perhaps people fear the Gen3s will be phased out and want to buy one before that happens. It is possible the Gen4 is inadvertently boosting sales of the Gen3.

This makes more sense than anything.
 
Numbers may be misleading......most assume 71% increase is because of something Glock has done. It may be that other companies are showing similar increases....which would imply a run on all types of guns.
 
The Gen4s are getting a lot of bad press concerning the new double spring assembly. Glock issued a "fix" for the models who were breaking assemblies or failing to cycle. If you get a Gen4, be sure to find out what models are affected and make sure they have the "corrected" spring assemblies.
 
I would estimate it's due to the Gen4 release

Yes, but mainly because people are buying all the previous Gen guns they can before they are gone. So far Gen 4 have been a disappointment.

people are reporting the same issues with the updated 02 spring too. Your best option To avoid a headache is to buy a gen3.
 
Interesting on Glock sales. Might be sales to LEOs, local, state, and federal.

I do know CCW licenses are up so maybe that's part of the demand.

I haven't bought any recently (but then I have a good selection already of them!)

i have a glock 17Long and a Glock 29 . For the 29 I purchased a 40 S&W conversion and the 10MM lone wolf . so i can shoot lead in either caliber. I am so pleased with my Glocks can see no real reason to keep my two 357 revolvers, one 38 special revolver.
 
Did anyone catch that Glock is going to be manufacturing guns in the US? Know what this means? No need to deal with stupid import compliance laws -- so Glock can finally compete with Kahr if they want to. Hell yeah.

Great idea....could very well have influenced the sales also
 
I noticed a price spike as well, I was seeing new ones sell for $489, now they are $550. Lots of armed American citizens out there, its a beautiful thing.

the gen4's have always been a little more expensive in my area, but the gen3 prices have remained the same.
 
Love Glocks. Own many, shot many, and observed many being fired. In the thousands upon thousands of rounds fired by myself or others I've observed, I've NEVER witnessed any problem (except 1, caused by an overpressurized handload). No failures, no jams, not anything but flawless mechanics and accurate shooting.
 
Own two glocks . no reason for me to every buy more guns. unless the fever hits.


Someone mentioned how some get angry and rude when they see disagreement with their version of truth about a hand gun. Very true. on a different forum commented on a 32 cal make and how it was picky about ammo. Got cursed out as much as can be done online, and called many unwelcomed names.

figured they were getting stroked on the side or just nut cases.
lots of biased people in the world of hand guns.
 
For the folks with the "Glock factory In the US" thoughts...

Pardon the Glock noob, but I thought that unless the EPA changed their rules (arsenic acids) , the Tennifer process was illlegal to use on US soil, rendering any Glock factory here a pipe dream.

Would Glock deal with shipping the parts after the Tennifer process, to assemble in the USA?
