17 Reasons to Love the Glock 17 What do curtain rods and polymer pistols have in common?

His experience with polymers set him on the path that eventually led to the beloved Glock 17. This gun is trusted by law enforcement and militaries around the world. In the civilian world, it’s also a favorite for home defense, concealed carry, and plain old fun on the range.
