Gaston Glock's private life leaves alot to be desired I suppose. See the lawsuit his ex has against him. Why do so many people high up in the gun industry turn into trainwrecks?

Actually it appears they just want to assemble guns in Slovakia because it's cheaper.

Yeah I gathered that from the article, it just seems odd they would go to those lengths, 23,000 pistols isn't that large of a contract.
