Book of Glock: A Comprehensive Guide to America's Most Popular Handgun

In this fully updated and revised edition, Robert A. Sadowski showcases all of Glock’s handgun models, from the first model, the Glock 17, which premiered in 1982, to the latest models, and educates firearms enthusiasts on the history, features, and specifications of each model.

Book of Glock references all Glock pistols available in the United States with in-depth information on all models—history, serial numbers and letter prefixes, rare Glock variants, conceal carry models, cutaway sales models, and more. Sadowski worked closely with Stanley Ruselowski Jr., the president of the Glock Collectors Association, to bring readers information and photos of rarely seen Glocks.

Each chapter is dedicated to a different model. Sadowski provides a timeline of the company’s evolution and a close look at how Glock redefined the combat pistol. Other chapters touch on rare models, commemorative editions, and Glock tools and accessories.

Whether a firearms collector or a new enthusiast, anyone can enjoy Sadowski’s analysis of Glocks throughout history.
