I just saw Gaston Glock passed away.
Love or hate the Glock design you can't deny the G series of guns had quite the impact on the world.
RIP

Re: RIP
I have had several. They are pretty darned good for what they are, even if I never seem to bond with them. He was a fine designer/inventor.
Tommy Smothers died, too.

Wow. That's too bad.
Well said Gunny. There is no denying both he, and his design, have made an impact.

Was 94 when he succumbed to Covid. Interesting footnote- Mikhail Kalashnikov also lived to be 94 when he also was claimed by Covid in 2013

Re: RIP
Never cared for the block-Glock, but admit it is a very useful handgun (just no soul). Sorry to hear any good gun designer dying. RIP indeed.
