Because I prefer, and go out of my way, to buy American made products, I voted for US made.
From what I've been told by Glock (take that with a grain of salt), they are 100% made in the USA. From a logistical standpoint this makes sense, the US is probably the number one country for sales. Hell, Austrian Glocks are even shipping with Glock USA magazines.
In the mid-2000s Glock USA began making frames and assembling the final pistol using Austrian parts.
By 2010/2011, Glock USA was making complete pistols. Initially these pistols seem to have been intended for export as the only "in the wild" sightings were in the Philippines mostly.
By 2012 the USA Glocks were shipping on the Blue Label program, followed shortly after with regular commercial sales.
For the sake of trivia, the Georgia P proof mark was not used initially and thus early USA Glocks do not bear this mark.

Thanks for that. I didn't check the other blue label Glocks at my FFL when I purchased my 17, (he only had the one on hand in the safe), but that's interesting info.
Don't know if it's accurate info or not but the FFL said the only difference between the Austrian and USA guns was the finish on the slide, as the tenifer process was not permitted in the U.S. by the EPA and so the domestic guns use a melonite finish.
There's nothing civil about this war.
I want to buy American but would buy Austrian if I thought it was better. Bottom line , I want the one that works 100 percent of the time; so can Glock please get back to that.
