As a company driven by a commitment to perfection, relentless innovation and disciplined precision, GLOCK was seeking a spokesperson that exemplifies the same characteristics and principles. The parallels between GLOCK and Norris deliver an authentic, fun and legendary alignment of brands.

We couldn’t be more excited about this partnership.”

Why do I carry a Glock?
Because Chuck Norris is too heavy.

Chuck Norris loves the concealability of his Glock 26.

Mr Norris stated in a recent interview, "I always carry my G26 with me when I am out these days. Whether fueling up at 7Eleven, having a footlong at Subway, or buying my groceries at Home Depot."

So, Chuck Norris finally pussed out, eh?

That has got to be one of the most badass and smile-inducing things I have ever heard. Chuck Norris is not just a legend and a folk hero, but he also has no part in any of the elitism and nose thumbing that is so prevalent amongst other movie and sports stars. He is truly a man of the people. And that makes him deserving of all the respect we can give. Much kudos.

I agree. A true Texan. People make a lot of jokes about him (like I did) and he has done a lot of corny movies but behind the camera he has done quite a bit that very few other "celebrities" have. Not even including his martial arts achievements (which are rather lengthy).

This is great!

 

[Cheyenne Bodie]

Kinda pissed it's Austrian Glock, but then I think of all the custom 1911 companies in the US and then I'm actually thankful it's Glock.

Even Glock knows reliability, it carries a Chuck Norris.

 

[Novak77]

This has been my happy thought since yesterday.

 

[101stinfantry]

That's a stroke of marketing genius for Glock, I can't think of a better fit since Ermey passed away.
My favorite Chuck Norris joke is: Some magicians can walk on water, but Chuck Norris can swim through land.

I'm not a Glock fan. I'm more of HK, SIG and 1911 guy, but Glock has always been very very good at marketing their guns in the US. That's how they took a major part of the LE market from S&W, SIG and Beretta back in the days when departments were changing from revolvers to semiautomatics. While all the other manufacturers were sitting on their past history with their guns, Glock was working the police departments for their business. If you have a chance to read the book about Glock, do so. It's a good read. My favorite story from the book as I recall, it's been awhile since I read it, was when they started setting up at Shot Show. They saw all the the Shot Show girls and decided they needed one there. They went to their Gentlemen Club that they would wine & dine all the PD bosses and firearms guys to when visiting Glock for a BUSINESS meeting. They picked a pretty girl, trained how to shoot and sent her to the Shot Show. She was a great shot from what I remember.

"Back in those days" Glock offered a real reliability and weight advantage combo as well. So really they were the right product paired with the right strategy which created the perfect storm of gun sales.

Chuck Norris is one of the few people that appeals to a younger generation while being relatable by an older generation. So it's a great fit for both of them.

Will there be a Norris edition of the 26 in the future?
