Delivering exceptional small arms products to the Armed Forces, we are honored to announce that GLOCK founder and inventor Gaston Glock has received the Ambrose Award for his outstanding contributions to the field of small arms systems.
“When GLOCK experimented in this field in 1980, no one believed that small arms could use polymer as a structural material to resist the forces generated by repetitive firing of small arms ammunition. This revolutionary development forever changed the face of not only handgun design, but also opened up the use of polymers in the design of other small arms and ammunition,” says Sal Fanelli, senior vice president of engineering for True Velocity.
Today, the superior design of polymer GLOCK pistols has been accepted in over 57 countries by special operations forces, law enforcement and civilians as the tool of choice for many.
