The NASGW is comprised of wholesalers, manufacturers, and independent sales
reps - both national and international - all of whom are primarily involved
with hunting and shooting sports, equipment and accessories. The NASGW
Meeting/Expo provides an unmatched educational, marketing and communications
opportunity for the hunting and shooting sports wholesaler, manufacturer and
sales professional.

The RTF2 finish was developed after direct feedback from the United States
Special Operations community. There are many instances where the environment
offers difficult to manage wet and humid conditions. In order to continue
providing cutting edge solutions, GLOCK developed the RTF2. The newly designed
frame incorporates hundred of "polymids," or miniature spikes on the front,
rear, and sides of the grip resulting in a definite increase in traction. 

"GLOCK has heard its valued customers.  GLOCK knows it must continue to evolve
in order to remain relevant in future markets.  These new pistols demonstrate
that fact," commented GLOCK, Inc. Vice President Josh Dorsey. "Additionally,
GLOCK will introduce the 'next generation' of GLOCK Pistols incorporating our
customer's demands at the upcoming SHOT Show; come visit us at the GLOCK
booth."

The G19 and G23 are two of the most popular GLOCK models. The G19 9x19 compact
is widely used all over the world. In addition, the G23 in .40 caliber is
quite popular with both law enforcement and private individuals as a back up
or concealed carry firearm. Adding the RTF2 finish to these compact models
increases the options for law abiding individuals and organizations. Along
with the new RTF2 finish, each of these GLOCK pistols have the same time
tested "Safe Action" system, durable exterior finish, cold hammer forged
barrel, durability, reliability, and light weight that GLOCK is famous for. 

GLOCK, Inc. was incorporated in 1985 and employ over 180 at their United
States headquarters in Smyrna, Georgia.
