Amazing Glock models!


 
I have this one.......hand engraved. I am friends with the OG Talo president who has since sold the business. He had everyting hand engraved for a while..............This also has hand enbraved rosewood grips .

Everything is laser engraved these days. Hand engraving cost too much and nobody wants to pay for it unless it's in an ultra high end gun.

My dad was friends with Bill Ruger Jr. We went to the company HQ in Southport many years ago, I'd guess late 90s, and watched the engravers working on shotguns and revolvers. That project only lasted a few years as nobody really wanted to pay for a custom shop Ruger.

I'll contrast that with a friend of mine named George Spring. He was THE master engraver at Colt in West Hartford. He did a set of pistols for one of the Bushes. He said he had something like 200+ hours into the guns.
