I believe that you'll find that the Glock is manufactured in Austria (at
least originally). I would not _conclude_ that the Glock is more advanced
weapon than the others, but it does use a more advanced material for the
majority of it's components (Slide, Reciever, Magazine, etc.).
The Glock has a radiply growing number of fans, and has had a number of
highly favorable reviews recently. It may be the wave of the future but
all of the weapons above (and many others - Such as the Browning Hi-Power,
Beretta M92F, Taurus PT-92 & PT-99, H&K P7 Series, etc.) have advantages
and disadvantages when compared to one another. I would say that the Glock
is an advanced weapon and it compares favorably to the other weapons
mentioned.
