History and Evolution of the Glock 19 The Glock 19 history really begins with the history of its larger version, the Glock 17 . The Glock 17 was originally released in 1983 as the standard-issue sidearm for the Austrian military. It didn’t take long for the pistol to completely revolutionize the firearms industry thanks to its striker-fired mechanism and its durable synthetic polymer frame that was actually more durable than most metals. Furthermore, the nitrocarburizing finish used on the Glock’s metal parts further helped to improve durability. The Glock 19 was first released in 1988 as the third pistol in Glock’s lineup, following the release of the fully automatic Glock 18. The Glock 19 was a major hit when released due to the fact that it was a compact and easy to conceal pistol with a large magazine capacity, making it equally at home as a CCW firearm as it was sitting in the hip holster of a soldier or law enforcement officer.
