First, I want to make it clear that I’m neither a Glock lover nor a Glock hater. Like many, they’re a manufacturer of fine firearms, all of which have their place.
My question is why all of a sudden for the past year or so are we seeing Glock everywhere? Blog articles, forum threads, videos, magazine articles, television gun shows, and an avalanche of aftermarket parts and accessories etc. I suspect that Glock must have opened their platform and maybe released some patents or had them expire which would explain the parts and accessories but that doesn’t (to me) explain the super high visibility of their guns everywhere, even on television drama shows. Is it money or something else that I don’t know about?
Who can shed some light on this for me?
Thanks in advance.
To answer your final question, not me apparently. My knee jerk response was to say popular music. I asked my friend Google about gun brands mentioned in popular music and was surprised to find that a list of the top dozen songs mentioning brands didn't even list Glock. In Ranker's top gun makes list Glock wasn't in the top 10. (Came in at 12). First time I remember hearing about Glock in some form of media was in Die Hard 2, the infamous Glock 7.
Truly can't figure it, there are deadlier looking, fancier, sleeker, etc. guns out there for the films and tv shows to use, but maybe Glock is paying them for product placement?
