Summary: Best Book on Glock Pistols that I've found.
Review: A great in depth look at all the elements of the Glock Pistol. I just wish that he (Kasler) would have available an update on such things as Models that have been added since the last writing and the updated list of police and governmental agencies that have adopted this gun since the writing. I know a large number in my own state that are not included so the total must be staggering. Good Book.

Summary: Outstanding and well written
Review: After reading this book I wanted to do two things: sell my revolvers and buy a Glock with the dough, and take my G27 apart and clean it (now that I know what's going on inside). There's nothing quite like learning from a master... and that's what Kasler is: an expert.While it's clear from the beginning that he is biased towards the Glock, most of what is presented is fact (and verifiable), not opinion.

Summary: A great book by a great man
Review: An outstanding technical reference, this book also delves into the history of Glock (both the man and the gun), the myths, the political hysteria, and the practical reality of this remarkable device. I had the good fortune to count Mr. Kasler among my few close friends. Pete passed away April 16, 2001.

Summary: GLOCK: The New Wave In Combat Handguns
Review: I bought this book last year, it was a hell of a read! It's unfortunate that the author, Peter Alan Kasler, passed away last year. My respects go out to his partner & family. This book gives excellent reviews & history of one of the best pistols currently on the market, regardless of calibre. Peter Alan Kasler writes from a great deal of experience & understanding. The book - on hindsight - could've shown picture's in colour; black & white photo's never really did any firearm justice - perhaps just me being slightly picky? The book wasn't meant to be a massive catalogue covering every model 'Glock' manufacture, although I wouldn't have said NO, but it did cover the essential information that anyone, like myself, who has more than a passing interest in them would find extremely useful. I liked it. I recommend it wholeheartedly!!! Buy it.

Summary: Must Have for Glock Owners
Review: I'm an avid handgunner with an extensive collection of handguns. It was only quite recently that I got turned on to Glock Pistols, the so called "plastic guns." This book provides in depth information on Glock handguns from history, firearm performance, and modification. This is a must have for every Glock owner.

Summary: Slightly dated, useful nonetheless
Review: Published in 1992, before the advent of the full line and subcompacts, this is a useful resource for Glock devotees, critics, writers, and perhaps most of all, the media. The "debate" about Glocks still rages and misconceptions still abound more than a decade after it was written. Covers the genesis and history of Glocks, the media fiasco, early law
enforcement resistence, the original 9mm models, Glock pistols from the inside out, how they function, maintenance, design features, operational advantages, early accessories and a small resource list. Useful both for the casual owner and the aficianado as well. You should come away with an understanding of how ignorant Glock bashing really is.

Summary: An exhaustive history of the Glock pistol
Review: This book is a pretty good read as you may have gleaned from my 5 star rating. However, it is also quite dated already and does not have sections on the relatively new Mini Glocks like the Glock 26 9mm Parabellum that I own. This book is just waiting for a revised edition to fit our need for current information. However, as an entertainment vehicle, it can't be beat.
