All Glocks are made in Austria from what I know. It may show Smyrna, GA because it's imported from Austria through Glock's US subsidiary. I have 2 and they are 100% reliable.

Glocks are as safe as the user makes them.Hi guys, need a good advise as I want to switch from SIGs with DAO to Glock 17, 19 or 34( have no experience, but heard all Glocks are not safe and dangerous due to any safety feature which I don't think it's true ? ). WAnt a Glock 9 mm with a short, easy trigger pull ( different from SIGs). Any advise ? Thanks. SIG
Some Countrys do not want to purchase goods (Pistols) made In Austria/Germany! Those Countrys get the made in Smyrna Ga. pistols. The difference, and there is one distinctive one, is the finish, you can not import the chemicals in to the US, for this finish. So the finish is the same one as S&W use (I believe) Melanite? The Austrian models have Tennifer, but that is the finish under the black finish you see, so if holster wear is starting to show through the finish, you are now seeing the Tennnifer, which is almost as hard as a diamond.hi,i bought my g23 here in Philippines,but it was made in u.s,is there difference in quality and performance

Now how many parts are still made in Austria? Barrels, springs, slides even? etc, I dont know. So whatever it says on the pistol, it is good to go.
