And two of the pallbearers will be required to push the casket in the hole, as it's not "drop free"

I just hope they didn’t have to pull his trigger to make the center post fit.And two of the pallbearers will be required to push the casket in the hole, as it's not "drop free"

I agree that he did change the game!
Would we have the M&P striker fired pistols, XD series, Sig striker fired pistol, or even the Taurus G series, if we didn't have Glock.
Oh lets disregard the fact that there was poly striker pistol on the market for more than a decade prior to his pistol..
Obviously not as popular, but it showed we were already headed in that direction.

I would have 10 Glocks if I'd kept every one I ever owned. 4 is a good balance for me, although it's not altogether impossible that 4 may very well turn back into 5 or 6. I feel like there is something fundamentally wrong with having a full, compact, single stack sub compact G 9mm's and not have the 26. It was my favorite, why did I let it go? It may not happen though, I used to think the 19 was too big for CC. That's since changed.
What I love about Glocks is that you can choose between like 60 different Glocks that are all the same

Not disagreeing with that. Glock's marketing and pricing for a reliable Law Enforcement carry, shortly after the FBI was pushing high capacity pistols. Made it the easy choice.
The other companies needed to compete with Glock for the next several decades...

This.
Anyone remember when Coca Cola decided to innovate the recipe for Coke?
Gaston Glock’s passing reminds me of when Enzo Ferrari died. Lot’s of people said things about him. Good and bad. Someone had once said about Ferrari, ”He was a great man but he was not a good man.” 
.
I didn’t know either one of them so I don’t have an opinion.
I’m impressed with Glock for making a reliable design with so few parts. There are several newer, over complicated designs with more parts that are less reliable.

A brilliant businessman who knew enough to be modest about his knowledge and consult and hire experts.

Right design at the right time. If it had come out twenty years before, no one would have accepted it, and it would have missed its market twenty years later.
Credit for good engineering and business aptitude. He had an eye for design, just not ergonomics or aesthetics.
And I never thought I'd say it, but somehow the simplest most reliable design came from a man that spoke German.

Yeah, that was real marketing genius.
