Glock set to work, producing a plastic-moulded weapon that was lighter, more reliable and capable of holding more bullets. The Glock semi-automatic pistol took the world by storm and within a decade had become the favoured sidearm for Nato, the FBI, most of the US police — and gun-toting gangsters.
With business booming, the Glock family moved from their home on the outskirts of Vienna to a stunning mansion overlooking Lake Worthersee in southern Austria. They knew nothing, however, of the Gold Club in Atlanta, an exclusive strip joint where Glock executives allegedly entertained police gun-procurement officials.
Glock rubbished such corruption claims as fantasies dreamt up by disgruntled former employees. Now, while he rubs shoulders with celebrities, his daughter runs a pet shop, Gaston Jr has a clothing business and Robert owns a restaurant chain. Glock spends much of his time in his fortress-like mansion in Velden where, despite the stunning views, he prefers a basement room from where he can oversee all aspects of the property from a Bond villain-esque control panel.
