[Dean C.]

Gaston Glock has passed away according to Glock, love or hate the guns they changed how modern pistols are designed and manufactured for ever essentially. Figured handguns was the most appropriate place for this one.

Well, with that a Gen 6 isn't looking good.
He will be forever know as, The Man that Invented The Dingus.

God Speed Gaston.

Poor guy. Designed a pistol so utterly worthless it made him a billionaire.

 

[DataGeek19]

In the world of steel, he crafted plastic, begun,
A gun that echoed, each model, virtually one.
Dollars amassed, his fortune did run,
To a younger bride, his heart was won.

Perfection sought in every little sum,
His legacy built, his victories won.
Yet amid the fame, the wealth, he spun,
A tale of a man, his journey, and the sun.

Self inflicted wound while cleaning a Glock is my guess.

Unlike most 1911s, at least it worked.

I heard he had started carrying a Sig 320 cause all the cool kids did. If only he knew more about them.
(assume Purple for the Sig boyz)

I heard he had started carrying a Sig 320 cause all the smart kids do. If only he knew he could get rid of that trigger dongle.
