P80 Pistol / Caliber 9×19 Glock®

The Origin of a Global Icon

The Austrian manufacturer Glock^® is one of the most recognized names in the firearms industry—both among professionals and the public. Yet few realize that the now-legendary P80 pistol—later known as the Glock 17—was the model that sparked the global success of the brand. First introduced in 1982, the P80 won the Austrian military contract and introduced the world to the revolutionary Safe Action^® system, becoming the first pistol to feature a polymer frame.

Revolutionary Design and the Safe Action^® System

The genius of Gaston Glock led to a pistol with groundbreaking features: a polymer frame, Browning-style tilting barrel, pre-tensioned striker, and a 17-round double-stack magazine. Its unique Safe Action^® system—comprising three independent internal safeties—ensured ease of use and minimized the risk of accidental discharge, even when dropped. This safety concept remains a standard today.

Lightweight Construction and Superior Shooting Dynamics

Instead of refining outdated norms, Glock chose to innovate. The decision to use injection-molded polymer for the frame significantly reduced the pistol’s weight while improving recoil management and handling. The result was a weapon that not only felt lighter in the hand but also offered exceptional shooting performance.
