GLOCK introduced the G22 .40 in 1990 and effectively closed the gap between the heavy .45 Auto, and the internationally proven 9x19. GLOCK was the first manufacturer to make this popular and effective round accessible for law enforcement agencies. Today, police agencies across the U.S., and countless others throughout the world, put their trust in this 15-round .40 caliber pistol.

Glock Law Enforcement
It all started right here—in the military. To survive in this fiercely competitive business we had no choice but to raise the bar as high as our engineering skills and advanced technologies would allow. So we did, and we’ve never stopped. Because, if your primary goes down, you can’t afford to have any doubts about your secondary. Durability? Check! Reliability? Check! Accuracy? Check! It must be a GLOCK.
Glock Personal Defense
Defense is personal, and it should be, it’s about invading your space. Our goal is to put serious confidence in your hand for any situation where your safety—or your family’s safety—could be compromised. Your best choice would likely be proportionate to your threat, therefore we make self defense in numerous calibers and many sizes. We hope you never need it, but if you do, a GLOCK is very discouraging to the bad guys.
Glock Sport Shooting
This is where it gets exciting. You can be 8 or 80— compete with your peers—and have the time of your life! We started the GSSF in 1991 and membership will soon approach the 100,000 milestone. With an unbeatable price/performance ratio, you can outfit each member of your family with a GLOCK competitive shooting pistol that’s right for them. A GLOCK may look tough holstered, but in competition, it’s a beautiful thing to watch.
Glock Enthusiast
There may be nothing to tell you about our pistols you don’t already know. Your passion for firearms runs deep, and you’re as committed to owning the right one for the right mission, as we are to providing it. When the conversation turns to critical subjects like safety, reliability, durability, accuracy, simplicity, and low maintenance, your response is more like a reflex: “Just get a GLOCK!” So which one’s next on your list?
Glock Women
You have every right to defend yourself! Women are heeding this message, and the number who own pistols has been growing at a phenomenal rate. Now it’s time to choose the right means. But you won’t find a “Woman’s” model here. If someone crosses that line, you require equal stopping power. You might first look at our Sub-Compact and Slimline models, but with our Modular Back Strap System, any GLOCK is within your reach.
Glock First-Time Buyer
Purchasing your first pistol can feel a little overwhelming. Everyone you talk to, and everything you read, offers an opinion: but it probably didn’t take long until it was suggested you look here. So we built this website with you in mind. Below are initial suggestions for beginners, but you can also click in the category that best fits your intention—your mission. This may be your first GLOCK handgun, but we doubt it will be your last.
Glock Hunting
In the wilderness, a GLOCK provides confidence against unexpected threats. A sidearm must be able to endure any given situation, climate, or environment—no matter how extreme. So it only makes sense that you put your trust in the pistol that has reliably withstood hundreds of torture tests. Going hunting? Bag a GLOCK first.
