The Glock is manufactured in several locations around the world, and has been exported to at least 50 nations. Five models of Glock pistols are currently in production: the 17 pistol, 19, 22, 23 and 32. The 17 and 19 are polymer-framed models while the other models are steel-framed.
Famous Glock 19 Air Pistol
The Glock 19 Gen 3 CO2 BB Air Pistol 177 Caliber Airgun was designed by Gaston Glock after he conceived of a simple, inexpensive small handgun that could be efficiently manufactured by anyone. In 1979 it was introduced to the public as a more efficient alternative to the popular Colt Government Model .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol).
Since its introduction, its popularity has continued to grow worldwide. The high reliability and robust simplicity of the Glock have made it the world's most popular pistol by a wide margin, with approximately 6.5 million units sold as of January 2009. The Generation 3 (Gen 3) models tend to be more highly regarded than those of the previous generation.
Designed for simplicity of manufacture, maintenance and operation by the military, law enforcement, security and civilian users, it has spawned many imitators worldwide.

Modifications have been made to the Glock 19 Gen 3 CO2 Pistol by the player base, which are described in this article, along with some suggestions on how to increase its performance without breaking the bank.
Glock 19 Gen Pistol’s Description:
The Glock 19 Gen 3 CO2 BB Air Pistol 177 Caliber Airgun is a semi-automatic pistol that comes in three different options – the standard version, the G19 Gen 2, and the G19 Gen 3. These guns are popular among airsoft players because they have a great form and function.
The standard model adds an external safety lever, being locked by pushing it into the "fire" position. Many players find this feature valuable because it ensures safety should one accidentally fire the gun.
The regular model has a metal slide with a polymer frame that offers you a comfortable grip with which to aim while shooting and even mount accessories, such as reflex sights or flashlights on your weapon without affecting its weight.
Glock Gen Pistols: Safety Features!
The G19 Gen 2 model, on the other hand, does away with external safety and replaces it with a trigger safety that locks the gun in place when it is pulled. This is also found on the G17, G22 and G23 models, but it's different from the standard model in how it works. The Gen 2 version has two modes – semi-automatic and co-witness.
The Gen 3 removes both of them as well as some hardware, which makes it lighter and easier to carry by removing some parts of the frame. Another feature this gun has is its ability to use a single magazine that holds 27 BBs instead of 20 like other models.
