Are Glocks manufactured here?

[Guest carter]

carry all your glocks with you too if you end up going... they will go thru them and replace all springs clean it and what not FOR FREE while you wait... now that's customer service... i would love for them to refinish my slide on my g27 ...think that may take more than a visit though

Dave, all of us want more manufacturing jobs back home.  I would love to have  a TV, computer, etc... that was entirely made in the US. If S&W is taking back market share they lost, that is great.  However, I think on this particular case you are reaching.  You are questioning whether Glock falsely stamped their guns "Made in USA" over possible future LE and military contracts.  Come on man.  Do you not think the government has the ability to know whether the Glocks in question were indeed manufactured here?

 

If what you are speculating is true, it may force Glock to rethink their business model if they want to remain competitive in that particular segment.  Perhaps doing something like expanding the Georgia facilities to be the sole manufacturer for products used in North America. 

Mav, I have not accused Glock of misrepresenting anything. Quite the opposite, I said unless someone can provide a link I have never seen anyone from Glock claim their guns were manufactured here. I said the stampings mean nothing to me, they are required by the Federal law and have nothing to do with where the guns are manufactured.

 

I am not reaching or trying to speculate on anything. In several threads where being made in America is important to a buyer, it has been stated as fact here that Glock are made in America. I suspect its BS and not fair to the buyer or to our American manufactures; but I do not know that for sure.

 

Its important to me where a gun is made. If its important to other people I think its fair to get this questioned answered, don't you? If someone posts a fact on here about a gun that is wrong people are all over it. I know that many have posted they couldn't care less where their guns or anything else is made; that's fine, this won't be important to them.

i called glock in smyrna ga on wensday to try to get a definitive answer to this question. the glock rep i spoke to was very open and helpful on this matter. here is what he told me: a) yes glock makes some pistols here in the usa from start to finish, b) at this time they are produced for law enforement sales only due to limited production capabilities and c) when production can be meet they will open these guns to civilian sales also. hope this helps

 

as a side note my son, who lives in atlanta, called to say he took 3 of his glocks to the smyrna facility today and they cleaned and updated them in about one hour. he seemed very happy with the service and how he was treated while there. this is what glock perfection is all about

good question but i didnt think to ask about that. they may have released a few to get people wondering and talking about it. i plan on going down there in the next few weeks to see my son and will go by glock and get more answers if possible.  will post what i find out
