Add a CommentThis EXTREMELY well written book chronicles in a very engaging fashion Glock's rise to popularity through the 80's, 90's and 2000's. It begins with the true story of a small Austrian knife maker who by good luck and perfect timing, replaced the revolvers of the FBI following the Miami shootout. This led to a domino effect with the rest of U.S. law enforcement as they rushed to adopt this rugged, dependable, "plastic" handgun. A must read if you're into guns, and a definite read if you're just curious, as I was.
