Glock 17

The Glock 17 is a semi-automatic, double-action only handgun made by Glock of Austria that is chambered for the 9x19mm Parabellum round. It is known for being the first popular pistol using high-impact polymers in it's design (The Glock is often incorrectly believed to have been the first "plastic pistol", a title that really belongs to the H&K VP70). In every game where the original Glock 17 appears, it carries 17 rounds. The Glock is known for being both extremely simple (with a mere 34 parts) and extremely reliable.

The Glock 17 is also the basis for a wide variety of handguns, all of which are given the name "Glock" followed by a numerical designation. All of these handguns are generally similar, if not identical in appearance.
