Put the future in the palm of your hand. Glock 17. (1986)

1989 Glock ad

Get a grip on the semi-automatic 9mm pistol as newly designed by Glock. Simpler, lighter, more reliable. More advanced than you ever imagined a semi-automatic handgun could be.

With only 33 parts including magazine components, the Glock 17 affords a new stripping and cleaning ease.

For shooting comfort, its frame is manufactured entirely of tough featherweight polymers, weighing approximately 80% less than its steel-framed counterparts. The Glock 17 weighs an amazing 27.9 oz. loaded, less than most other handguns in its class unloaded.

And you can count on Glock for unparalleled performance. With any type 9mm factory-made ammo. In rigorous tests from 392° F to -104° F, after more than 15,000 rounds, this gun operated without a flaw. There's no question about safety either, Glock's ingenious new "safe action" system has three internal automatic safety devices.

The only thing not advanced about the Glock 17 is its price. It's very affordable! That means there's nothing standing between you and the future.

Someday all pistols may be built and perform like the Glock 17.
