Message: <blockquote data-quote="poopgiggle" data-source="post: 1325651" data-attributes="member: 6406">I don't think losing Gaston Glock or Eugene Stoner would have affected very much. Glock's only contribution was marketing polymer pistols effectively to law enforcement, leading to their widespread adoption. HK had tried polymer pistols before Glock but they flopped. Without Eugene Stoner...direct impingement wouldn't be as popular. Whoop-de-sh**t.You're right about JMB though, since as I understand it the short-recoil tilting barrel design was his idea originally. Who doesn't use a variant of that design? I don't think the Beretta M9 does, but that's the only example I can think of.</blockquote>
