In 1980, the Austrian military published specifications for a new service pistol. Heckler & Koch responded. SIG Sauer responded. Beretta responded. FN Herstal responded. Steyr Mannlicher responded. Companies with centuries of combined firearms experience submitted their finest designs. A 52-year-old curtain rod manufacturer from a small town outside Vienna — a man who had never designed, manufactured, or even fired a gun since being conscripted as a teenager in the final weeks of World War II — read those same specifications. He decided he would build the pistol. Within three months, he had a working prototype. Within a year, he had humiliated every established arms manufacturer in Europe. Within a decade, he had armed two-thirds of American law enforcement. His name was Gaston Glock. His previous products included plastic curtain rods, window fittings, and knife handles. The Glock 17 contained 34 parts. The Beretta 92 contained over 70. The Glock weighed 22 ounces. The Beretta weighed 34. The Glock cost less than $100 to manufacture. It held 17 rounds. It had no external safety, no hammer, and no decocking lever. It could be frozen in ice, buried in sand, submerged in salt water for six months, and fired 325,000 rounds — and it kept working. This is the story of how a man with zero firearms experience built the most dominant handgun on Earth from a garage that used to make curtain rods. How he beat Heckler & Koch, SIG Sauer, Beretta, FN Herstal, and Steyr in military trials. How he armed 74% of American police departments. How he survived an assassination attempt by punching his attacker unconscious. And how the firearms establishment is still trying to catch up, four decades later. — Sources and further reading: • Paul M.
