Anyone with an American made Glock?

[Lebowski]

I hear Glock is manufacturing in America now, correct? Are they completely stopping production in Austria or just adding production here too?

Has anyone stress tested two new Glocks, on Austrian made and one American made yet? Are places carrying American made ones yet?

Sorry for all the questions. I'm interested in a Glock 26 for when I finally get my LTCH and am wondering if I should go out of my way to get one made in a particular location or not.

I have seen few on the for sale forums.

I've been looking for an American made Glock 19 at a LGS that I can put on layaway. There's one for sale in the classifieds but it's too far for me to drive and I just don't have the cash right now.

From everything I've read, watched on YouTube, there's no difference in quality or performance.

I have a Glock 17 Gen4 made in GA. I can't tell any difference between the Austrian and Georgia-made ones except for the markings.

What? A US made Glock, I guess I've been out of the loop for a while. When did they start this?

Late in 2010.

Me too (G-4 17) and I can't see any difference either.. Easy to spot, they have 4 letters and 3 numbers in the SN.

Both my Glocks, 19 and 20, are Austrian built.

From what I was told in class Glock is increasing production in the US. an we should soon see more made here.

I am new to Glock's myself, got my first a couple months ago in a drawing; G26 G4 Austria made. I really love the gun, I am not going to replace my S&W's but it is a great gun. "Glock Talk" will give you a lot of information about them and is where I get most of mine. One thing not terribly noticeable different is the slide finish. Can't remember the name of it but it is different because of EPA concerns in USA. Jim.

I have recently been in the market for a new Glock 19, and it seems to me that it's actually many of the newer Austrian made Glocks that have the crappy flat matte finish that scratches easily, at least at the shops on the west side I visited.

I ended up going to C&C Midwest firearms and had them order me a USA made 19 for $525, added another $100 for Trijicon night sights put on. It has the normal finish I like. As others have stated, other than that it's exactly the same except it has USA on the slide and has the Georgia proof marks on the other side of the slide. I haven't got it out to shoot yet, but I don't anticipate any issues.

The wife and I have Gen 2 Glocks...a 19 for and a 23 for me...Austrian built! We love them...and probably wouldn't change anything about them!

The American made version...I would like to see / compare them.

I read an article which said that most of the Glocks sold in the USA would be Austrian made and the USA manufactured ones were exported to places like the Phillipines (go figure). But, that over time they should start showing up on U.S. shelves.

 

[Lebowski]

I was just told that all the Glocks sold inside the US are produced here, surely that is not correct. Right?

If that was correct then why do I only see 'Austria' stamped on every Glock I've ever seen?

 

[SmithGuy]

WestSider, thanks for posting the pic. It is good to see the USA stamp. :-)

Not correct. Glock is still selling tons of Austrian made pistols here.

I just bought this one last week.

Is the slide made in the US and the frame still made in Austria?
Or the slide just stamped "US" in the US and made in Austria?

As I understand the entire pistol including slide and frame is manufactured and assembled in Georgia.
