INDIAN special armed forces use GLOCK 17 as their secondary arm

INDIAN special armed forces use GLOCK 17 as their secondary arm..
glock pistol is Austrian origin and is not detectable by metal detectors as it is made of plastic (exclude rounds)
It is a series of polymer-framed, short recoil operated, locked breech semi-automatic pistols designed and produced by Glock Ges.m.b.H., located in Deutsch-Wagram, Austria.
These are also used by US law enforcement agencies and other security forces across the world.

Operating mechanism:

The Glock 17 is a 9mm short recoil-operated locked breech semi-automatic pistol that uses a modified Browning cam-lock system adapted from the Hi-Power pistol. The firearm's locking mechanism utilizes a linkless, vertically tilting barrel with a rectangular breech that locks into the ejection port cut-out in the slide. During the recoil stroke, the barrel moves rearward initially locked together with the slide approximately 3 mm (0.12 in) until the bullet leaves the barrel and chamber pressure drops to a safe level. A ramped lug extension at the base of the barrel then interacts with a tapered locking block integrated into the frame, forcing the barrel down and unlocking it from the slide. This camming action terminates the barrel's movement while the slide continues back under recoil, extracting and ejecting the spent cartridge casing. The slide's uninterrupted rearward movement and counter-recoil cycle are characteristic of the Browning system.

Variants:

  •  9×19mm Parabellum
  •  10 mm Auto
  •  .45 ACP
  •  .40 S&W
  • .380 ACP
  •  .357 SIG

Glock pistol is simple in construction with just 33 parts. Almost 80% of the gun is make of polymer which makes it a light weight pistol and easy to carry. The metal used in only barrel and trigger mechanism. The plastic used serves under extreme conditions ranging from -40 to +200 degree Celsius. 

 As plastic is used it is rust free and the metal parts are covered by polymer. Dismantling of the pistol is very easy and can be easy maintained.

Snap-lock , Snaphance and flintlock

Snap-lock, Snaphance and Flintlock These three fire arms work under same mechanism. The difference is the protective measures development  in each of the fire arms. The order of the fire arms is snaplock snaphance flintlock percussion cap Mechanism: The operation works on the old concept of fire sparks ( when two rocks are rubbed against each other the friction between them causes a spark and eventually fire when the sparks are in contact with a dry grass or to be more precise, a conductor which ignites under a slight high temperature). The firearm consists of a flint material and a steel plate placed against each other. When the flint is held with a spring, potential energy is stored in the spring. When the trigger is released the potential energy is transferred to the clamped flint and the clamp moves forward and strikes the hardened steel producing sparks. These sparks flash pan travels through the touch hole and ignites the gun powder and boom. ...

GLOCK 43 - the effective concealment

GLOCK has launched new GLOCK-43 9mm pistol few months back  #thebackupgun #pocketgun   This Glock pistol is similar to the GLOCK 42 but is slightly larger in its length. Even it can be operated with 100 grain rounds which makes its recoil less. We can obviously use 230 grain standard rounds. When it comes to the design its slim and compact. And the distance from the grip and the trigger is same as the larger GLOCK pistols, which makes it fit for all kind of users. Its grip is different from that of GLOCK 42 and it is recommendable for tight grips while targeting. Dimensions: overall length: 159 mm Slide length: 154 mm  Length between sights: 132 mm weight: 509 g width: 26 mm Slide width: 22 mm Height: 108mm For further reviews you can visit the following links: thetruthaboutguns policone.com americas1stfreedom.org singlestack9.com

It is believed that the gun powder technology has spread to the west through Silk Road. Europe and Arabs have been using them in 14 th century, and japan has started mass producing them in 1543, but they know about the gun powder in the beforehand. After the gun powder was invented by China the advanced firearm was introduced by Portuguese in 15 th century. These were used until 1720 when they were replaced by flintlocks. The evolution of firearms is shown below: Hand cannons (14 th century) Hand locks- hand gonne (15 th century) Match lock Wheel lock (15 th century) Snap lock Snaphance (1550) Dog lock (17 th century) Flintlock (17 th century ) Percussion cap...
