Just saw that Gaston Glock just passed away. I only own one of his guns, a G32 in .357SIG but I like it. Love his guns or hate them, but he did leave a big mark on the gun world.

He is well represented here. I don't know how many I have. RIP Sir you made a difference.
Surely did have a good run. RIP sir.
Hopefully the new management won't foul things up.
RIP
God rest your soul in Valhalla, may the ammo be unlimited ..
He revolutionized the industry and was copied by many others. RIP
Especially the trigger. Royalties alone to S&W.
@yoshmyster from S&W
"The Sigma series pistols were so similar to the competing Glock pistols that Glock sued Smith & Wesson for patent infringement. The case was settled out of court in 1997, with S&W agreeing to make alterations to the Sigma design and pay an undisclosed amount to Glock." Wikipedia
Yeah. That thing.
RIP to a legend.
He didn't design the first plastic framed pistol, but it was the most successful.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
