Book of Glock, Second Edition: A Comprehensive Guide to America's Most Popular Handgun

As a gun owner, I firmly believe you should have some sort of reference manual for your firearm. Not only is it good to know the history of the firearm, it also covers technical data and values that could come in handy. I have owned several Glocks in my lifetime and still own a few, and while I will not say it is the firearm to rule them all the Glock is still a reliable weapon used by many nations in the world. And for good reason.This book contains everything from history of the Generations to current Gen 5. There is catalog years for certain serial number runs as well as history on each model to include parts, discontinued versions and unique variants. There were Glock models I never heard of or ones that were exclusive to LEO and military contracts.It is worth the price and while I am sure in a few years a third edition will be out, it is the latest at the moment. These books will be updated as time goes by, but for now, this edition has all that you need. Whether you are a Glock aficionado or just casually uses them for the job, this book is worth putting on the shelf. As a rule, and its mainly my rule, but one I think anyone could benefit from - always have a technical manual or reference book for every firearm you own. Just like you have a maintenance manual for your car, a gun is a tool. A bit of knowledge can save you money, especially now that gunsmithing is pretty expensive.

Very informational

I love this book which is a definite need if you’re a Glock fan. The author has provided images, models and history of each dating back to 1986. Included is a reference guide and a Glock model number decipher which is key to understanding the exact and factory shipped / included Glock options on each firearm as shipped from the factory. Also of importance are the model variations and first sequence serial numbers set(s) that Glock made for each model

Amazing book! The definitive book on all things Glock!

I love this book. I've read it cover to cover, and still peruse it from time to time. I like the detailed history of Glock and the individual write-ups of all the models and variations. The photos are well done and prolific. I don't think anyone can read this and not learning something. The author is obviously a huge fan of Glock and sometimes his prose can sound a bit like an advertisement for Glock, but it's not overbearing by any means.What needs improvement: For the love of Pete, this is Volume 2, why, why, why did not the author, editor, publisher, anyone ever consider proofreading it? Honestly, it's typo after typo after typo. I don't think you can literally read more than a page to two without encountering one. It's honestly a bit off-putting. All the time spent on good prose and awesome photos and no one could be bothered doing a little QC. It doesn't ruin the book, of course, but it does bring it down a star in my opinion.Conclusion: If you want to know about Glocks (a lot about Glocks), this is a great book. I guarantee you'll learn something, and it's an enjoyable read. Just be aware that you'll encounter more typos than Carter has pills (as my Grandmother used to say).

I was very surprised at how much information is contained in this book. All models and generations, load data, customizing, etc. I bought the paperback as I'm old school and would rather read a book than kindle. I love this book and would recommend this to anyone, novice, pro and over 21 (right California?).

When you want a great historical perspective of Glock this book is for you. I have been certified as an an instructor and Glock armorer for years and can tell you that this book is a great read with many unexpected derails

Still reading. But thoroughly pleased thus far. I pre ordered. Money well spent. The colored schematics of the glocks operation is a plus. Really helps the average person understand its function.

Im a massive fan of this book as it has everything you would want to know about Glock. Im not a very strong reader but I can read and understand this book with ease while still getting the same information as I would if it was complicated. One of my favourite parts of this book is the amount of pictures! There is a picture or two for each model which is really nice so that I can visualise what Im reading about and the pictures are very good quality and shows exactly what each model looks like. Another thing I love about this book is the pages, they are such good quality and almost feel like photo printing paper. It is more expensive than a normal book that you would buy but it is such good quality and filled with info that it's completely worth it.If you are a Glock enthusiast, I would 100% recommend this book.
