Gaston Glock presented with the 2022 Ambrose Award for his commitment and contribution to the Armed Forces
By delivering exceptional products in the field of small arms to the Armed Forces, we are honored to announce that GLOCK founder and inventor, Gaston Glock has received the Ambrose Award for his outstanding contributions to the field of small arms systems.
“When GLOCK experimented in this field in 1980, no one believed that any small arms could use polymer as a structural frame material to withstand the forces generated by repetitively firing small arms ammunition. This revolutionary development forever changed the face of no only handgun design, but also opened the use of polymer in the design of other small arms weapons and ammunitions,” says Sal Fanelli, Senior VP of Engineering at True Veloctiy
Today, the superior design of the polymer GLOCK pistols have been accepted in over 57 countries by special operations forces, law enforcement agencies, and civilians as the tool of choice for many.
