I thought it was named after their number of patents.

Mr. Gaston didn’t only invent and hold patents on pistols. That’s the story I was told but never verified.

I believe they were all knives and grenades. Glock made other military gear before pistols.

Good question. Seems like I remember a Glock 7 being discussed. It cost more than I make in a month.

Glock was doing some very cutting edge stuff at the time with polymers and other materials. Austria announced it was going to start testing new guns, and Gaston went "hmmm we should make one" with zero firearms manufacturing experience, and voila. Now we are here. He won that contract by the way |

It was his 17th patent. I asked the man himself. Shot his personal Glock 17 and one of the preproduction Glock 40 S&W. Matter of fact I got to shoot 1000 rounds. First and last time I ever shot a 40 S&W

Porsche is similarly numbered at least for car models using a proper number and none of this name BS.
Except Ferry started at #9 - he didn't want his first customer to know he was the first and think Ferry was too new at all of this. So the 356 is actually project #347. The 911 is really the 901 is really 892 but Porsche was sued over a trademark of car names made of 3 digits with the middle digit being 0. |
