We salute a fellow giant in the firearms industry - Gaston Glock has passed on

Yes, this IS CZF, but even we can salute the passing of a man who revolutionized the handgun world, and lef to developments of guns we now own and love that bear the CZ logo. RIP, Mr. Glock.

While I was never a fan of his firearms, I had great respect for what he brought to the industry. Arguably one of the heaviest influences on the modern firearms industry. Second to JMB, of course.

If you ever get to visit Glock in Smyrna, GA they run a nice video of the developmental history in the lobby while the techs update your pistol for free.
