Unboxing the Glock P80

Glock’s P80 is a retro remake of the pistol that kicked off Gaston Glock’s impressive firearm manufacturing career. During the 1970’s Mr. Glock was manufacturing military hardware such as knives, grenade cases, machine gun belt links, etc. However, in 1980 when the Austrian military decided they needed a new service pistol Glock jumped at the opportunity and decided he would make his own pistol for the competition. By 1982 Gaston Glock had been awarded the contract by the Austrian military and his entry was designated Pistole 80 or P80.

This year, Glock decided to pay tribute to the original P80 by re-releasing it in a limited quantity.
