The Glock 9 mm semi-automatic pistol is regarded by many as America's favorite handgun. Using the right Glock accessories can make shooting easier. First, it is essential to understand the basic principles underlying all firearms. At its simplest, a gun is a closed metal tube with one end open and the other end, which is rounded, drilled with a tiny hole to accommodate a flammable length of fuse. Gunpowder, a mixture of potassium nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur, is placed into the closed end of the tube (the breech). The earliest functional model of this apparatus was the cannon.
Lighting the fuse ignites the gunpowder, a mixture of charcoal, sulfur and potassium nitrate), which suddenly generates a huge volume of gas, exerting a tremendous amount of pressure on the cannon ball to fly out the bore of the metal tube. It is the product of the mass of the projectile and the acceleration due to the gas pressure that blasts the target to Kingdom Come. More portable firearms in the form of flintlock pistols evolved out of this same principle. Now, they use detonators instead of fuses.
The disadvantage of early handguns was that they could fire only one shot at a time, after which the shooter had to clean and reload before firing the next shot. Next, came the revolver, which only needed to be reloaded after five or six shots had been fired. The ammunition, called bullets, rested in a revolving chamber until needed, when they advanced into the firing chamber.
Revolvers were great, but people wanted to kill each other even faster. This is where the semi-automatic pistol comes in. In these devices, the ammunition sits in a holder called a magazine residing in the butt (handle) of the gun. Some of the larger magazines were capable of holding up to 15 bullets.
The pistol had the advantage of a lighter trigger action than the revolver, too. However, semi-automatic pistols had a disturbing tendency to jam at the most inopportune moments, something to which the revolver was not prone. Automatic pistols remedy this by feeding bullets into the chamber automatically.
The Glock is a semi-automatic pistol developed in the late 1970s by an Austrian engineer named Gaston Glock. The Austrian army found itself in need of a new sidearm and so invited manufacturers to submit designs in response to a 17-point request for proposals (RFP). Glock owned a manufacturing company and led a team of engineers and designers to put together a design incorporating a plastic frame as well as metallic components.
The Austrian Defense Ministry approved of the design and initially ordered 25,000 of the semi-automatic plastic pistols. Made in all major calibers, the Glock 9 mm has become America's most popular hand gun. One of the most important accessories for the weapon is the magazine. Glock magazines are designed to hold more ammunition than other gun designs.
In Europe, the magazine is designed not to just drop out of the weapon onto the ground partly loaded. It's not the done thing. The magazine comes out at the press of a button. American soldiers, on the other hand, don't like to waste time prying out a spent magazine, and prefer it to drop out of the weapon of its own accord.
