Wow! Glock, and Tommy Smothers both dead in the same week!!
I wonder if Gaston liked Dick Smothers better......IYKYK...

Lets see if they are still around and working, 100 years from now.

Lmao, got one.

 

[MrSmitty]

Why wouldn’t they be?

RIP to one of the best of our timeline!

Fudd lore is the polymer will deteriorate in (insert Fudd lore years here). I mean, it's completely impossible to replace polymer parts of the pistol so the gun just turns to dust.

Hopefully his casket has Walther grips, rather than Glock's...

Think they’ll have finger grooves?

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

Taylor Swift is a billionaire.

Just sayin’

Hopefully they hold up in the long run better than a load of first and second gen magazines. The backs of the early magazines would split on occasion.
I've worked around a lot of plastic injection over the years. Turn to dust, I think not.
Plastic failing over the years, it happens.

You loose, now go and shave off those long curly locks.

Sure, nothing lasts forever. And when the polymer does eventually fail, replace it and move on. Just like if you shoot enough you'll crack a metal frame and it'll need repaired or replaced. I wonder how many 200k+ round 1911s are out there with the original frame?

It don’t rust, though.

Now that he’s passed I wonder what’s next for Glock

A Glock 1911
A Glock carbine
Or another Glock with some “new feature” like, a “undercut trigger guard” or “front cocking serrations” or maybe even “flat faced trigger with a lighter trigger pull and less take up and a more positive reset” (you know, everything someone does to their existing glock!)

Glocks don't rust you say,
Where's my Easy Button son?

He lived how we all want to live, married to a RaunchSpiel (smoke show) who left him alone to play with horses, while he lived a life so large that Business associates sent a large French man to murder him in a parking garage in Luxembourg with a rubber mallet.

As he was laying in a hospital bed, Gaston called the CEO and CFO of his banks and they ran to his bedside to implement the immediate banking changes he ordered as doctors were stitching him up.

Based life. "The attack was the best thing that happened to me," says Glock. "Otherwise, I would have gone on trusting Ewert."
This better be the music at the funeral:



Now, where is my Model 46?

Also, I got this at lunch and all my associate and I could talk about in the epic probate war that this will cause between the daughter and her brothers, Wife 1.0, Wife 2.0, rest of family and his associates and investors.

The sky will turn legal pad yellow.
