I just finished, and very much enjoyed, \u201cBook of Glocks\u201d Second Edition by Robert Sadowski. It lives up to its subtitle: \u2018A comprehensive guide to America\u2019s most popular handgun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bob is an enthusiastic Glock shooter and collector. \u201cCollector of modern guns\u201d sounds like a contradiction in terms for some, but there is indeed a Glock Collectors Association, the president of which, Stanley Ruselowski, Jr. wrote the foreword. Rarity, not just age, makes things collector-worthy, and there have been a great many Glock variations over the decades, some of which I hadn\u2019t known about until I read Bob\u2019s book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He details how some of the major agency and world power adoptions of this gun came about. I knew of some of the variations Glock had produced with manual thumb safeties, but not all of them; Bob\u2019s book brought me up to speed on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have accused my wife, the Evil Princess of Podcasts, Pixels and Polymer Pistols, of owning more Glocks than the Austrian army. A while back I got her one of the Mariner variations for her birthday, and she liked it so much I got her another one for the following Christmas. We knew there weren\u2019t many of that uncommon G19 variation out there nor whom they were originally made for, but didn\u2019t have the exact info on that. Now we do, thanks to Bob Sadowski\u2019s book. A definite \u201cshould read\u201d for anyone who owns a Glock pistol or is thinking of buying one, and a great gift for anyone who fits that profile.
