Скачать или смотреть NRA Gun of the Week: Glock P80

On this week’s “Gun of the Week,” American Rifleman staff examine an exclusive Glock recreation of the pistol that won over the Austrian Army back in 1982.

When the Austrian Armed Forces requested, in 1980, a replacement for its Walther P38 service pistol, Glock answered with a revolutionary and winning design, the Pistole 80 (P80). Though Glock wasn’t the first manufacturer to show its ability of advanced engineering and use of modern, space-age materials, it was the first company to receive contract for its “plastic” gun. Now the Austrian maker, nearly 40 years later, is offering a modern rendition of its original P80 service pistol.

Distributed exclusively through Lipsey’s Guns, the P80 from Glock Inc., is a Safe-Action striker-fired pistol built on a full-size, black polymer frame and is chambered for 9 mm Luger. The sub-25-oz. pistol is a throwback commemorative reminiscent of the first-gen G17 pistol, featuring a flat extractor and single-pin frame. The front and backstrap are smooth, too, and the grip features Glock’s pebble-style texturing pattern.

The Glock Pistole 80 features P80 markings on the steel slide that is topped with polymer front and rear sights. Vertical- and wide-cut cocking serrations are included at the slide’s rear. Glock provides its DLC finish to protect the carbon steel components of the slide assemebly. Fitted within the slide is a 4.49” barrel that features the famed polygonal rifling of yesteryear’s Glock pistols.
