When Mr. Glock started to manufacture his first pistol, the Glock 17, all of his parts were not made in house.
As he became bigger, sold more, he started to make parts, like springs, and cold hammer formed barrels, that he used to farm out.
The plant in a small town in Austria, Deutch Wagram, became too small, he bought land built an other plant (Barrel plant?) the electricity supply Authority were going to charge him a fortune to pipe in power!
He bought his own power plant from Japan, I was told he even sells his surplus!
They can not catch up on their orders. Why change? Ten round magazines, they made those.
My philosophy on magazine capacity, if any person, ever needed a bunch of rounds to fight with a pistol, I want a bunch of 9mm rounds ready to go, no reload, in my pistol, hence a Glock 19, with a spare mag, a Glock 17 one.
