Glock 18<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Glock model 17 was the company’s first handgun and to this day stands out as one of the company’s most successful handguns. It kickstarted the entire polymer service pistol industry, and even now sets the standard that all other polymer striker-fired handguns must live up to in order to be taken seriously as guns fit for defense, duty or sport.<\/p>\n

It would be the first gun on this list but after Glock made the 17, well, there seemed to be nowhere else for Glock to go. They needed that extra push over the cliff, they put it up to 18. Exactly one better. Other companies would have just made different models of the Glock 17, but Glock\u2014Glock took it up to 18<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Developed for Austrian counter-terrorism units, the Glock 18 is one of the coolest select-fire machine pistols ever made. Sure, real Glock 18s are made of unobtanium and the closest most people will ever get to one is seeing them on-screen. But with the invention of the Glock 18 came something else: Glock 18 magazines.<\/p>\n

SEE ALSO: <\/strong>Glock\u2019s G44: Tupperware Goes Rimfire<\/a><\/p>\n

Hugely popular wherever they are sold, Glock 18 magazines have a standard capacity of 33 rounds of 9mm goodness and are compatible with all other double-stack 9mm Glock pistols. These magazines are more than welcome at any range and while maybe a bit clunky for self-defense, are just right for all sorts of Glock-pattern pistol-caliber carbines. And that is what makes the Glock 18 so very special.<\/p>\n

Glock 43<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While it’s true that in the absence of a single-stack 9mm Luger Glock pistol entire companies have established themselves as industry leaders in the concealed-carry handgun market for consumers and law enforcement, and yes, it’s also true that this was despite huge, vocal customer demand for a single-stack sub-compact 9mm from Glock users around the world since the Glock 17 went mainstream more than two decades ago, the Glock 43 remains one of the most remarkable Glock pistols ever made.<\/p>\n

With the Glock 43, Glock proved that it doesn’t matter that they took their time working on the design; they’re such an influence on the market that they can sell polymer-framed, striker-fired single-stack 9mm pistols to people who already own<\/em> polymer-framed, striker-fired single-stack 9mm pistols.<\/p>\n

It’s an amazing accomplishment for any company to drop into an existing market\u2014one that’s saturated with many proven, modern options\u2014and instantly establish themselves in the span of weeks.<\/p>\n

Almost overnight a complete aftermarket sprung up and today nearly every part and accessory a Glock 43 owner might want is available, and with multiple options to choose from. There are guns that have been available for decades with less market support, and that goes to show what a powerhouse Glock is.<\/p>\n

Glock 22<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What, a .40? Glock sold America on the concept of the polymer-framed wondernine and the .40 S&W Glock 22 played a big part in that.<\/p>\n

The rise of .40 S&W coincided\u2014downright collided\u2014with the passage of the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994. Police departments across the country had or were looking to upgrade to the newer, more powerful cartridge; when the FBI adopted .40 S&W as their standard round everything snapped into place.<\/p>\n

Glock took advantage of their new position in the service pistol market to sell Glock 22 pistols to law enforcement agencies, police departments and security firms across the country, freeing up tens if not hundreds of thousands of precious “pre-ban” Glock magazines.<\/p>\n

The dry spell is now over for most Americans and there are plenty of magazines to go around today, but in the ban years it was these trade-in magazines that kept a lot of shooters shooting.<\/p>\n

And now that a lot of these agencies are switching back to 9mm, they’re surplussing their Glock 22s which can be found pretty easily for a lot less than a new Glock handgun, making easier to be a gun owner in America to this day. And some of these older Glocks have features that make them more desirable in some ways than newer pistols, which brings us to…<\/p>\n

Glock 19 Gen II<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you can only own one Glock pistol it should probably be a Glock 19. It’s the quintessential Glock. It’s chambered in 9mm, it’s small enough to carry concealed and it’s still big enough for service and home defense. While the standard 15+1 round capacity is towards the low end compared to most full-size double-stacks, it’s a Glock, which means you can use it with any size magazines you want.<\/p>\n

Stick with 15 in the magazine for concealment. Drop a 17-, 22- or even 33-round magazine in there for nightstand duty. At the range and have a drum magazine? Have fun, that’s what you do.<\/p>\n

And if you can only own one generation of Glock…Gen II is where it’s at. It’s true, newer Glocks sport a few features that make them more appealing, especially on paper. It’s not about what the Gen II has that makes it special, it’s what’s missing. The Glock 19 Gen II has all of the core strengths of current-production 19s, minus<\/em> the accessory rail and the fingergrooves.<\/p>\n

If it were any other gun, the lack of an accessory rail could really be seen as a shortcoming, but when it comes to Glock, there’s no shortage of ways to stick a light or laser sight on one with it, if you think any of that is necessary.<\/p>\n

It’s still compatible with a majority of the remaining aftermarket parts and is smoother on the draw with nothing to catch on your clothes. And while the fingergrooves may add a touch of control, they also promote “Glock knuckle” and for a lot of shooters, aren’t going to be missed.<\/p>\n

So what could possibly be better than the Glock 19 Gen II?<\/p>\n

Glock 7<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nothing stands out more about Glock than how they’ve shaped culture. Not just shooting culture\u2014although the Glock pistol radically changed how people think about using alternative materials, making a completely different kind of gun today’s norm\u2014Glock also digs deep into American culture.<\/p>\n

This holiday season people everywhere will gather with friends and loved ones and celebrate by watching the greatest Christmas movie of all time, Die Hard<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And it’s in Die Hard<\/em> where many people saw their first Glock pistol, the Glock 7. Sure, it’s not real\u2014it’s not even realistic\u2014but it cemented Glock’s image with pop culture for decades to follow.<\/p>\n

“That punk pulled a Glock 7 on me. You know what that is? It’s a porcelain gun made in Germany. Doesn’t show up on your airport X-ray machines, here, and it cost more than you make in a month.” \u2014John McClane<\/p>\n
