Glock 17

Glock 17 is an Austrian semiautomatic pistol manufactured by Glock, which fires a 9mm "parabellum" ("logger") ammunition.
 

Glock 17 is the first gun designed and developed by the Austrian company Glock. The gun is unique in that the production of the weapon and many of its parts has been pioneered in plastic polymers. The gun first appeared in 1980 in the Austrian army for testing and entered the Austrian army under the name P80.

Initial gun reviews presented the weapons as if they were made entirely of plastic, and therefore not detectable in a metal detector. This display is not correct: the stalker, the barrel, and other parts are made of metal and appear in a metal detector. The gun is called Glock 17 because it is based on Gaston Gluck's 17th patent, contrary to popular belief that the gun is named after its standard cartridge carrying capacity.
