The Air Force did issue them to pilots at one point, although I don't know if they're still in use, or if they were replaced with the FN 5.7 as announced.

What is the difference between glock US and glock austria?
The companies, or the firearms? Glock USA is an importer. Since Glock pistols cannot be shipped as is due to the provisions of the Gun Control Act of 1968, they have to be shipped with adjustable sights in order to be importable. Glock USA receives the pistols, removes the adjustable sights, and replaces them with the standard fixed Glock sight, manufactured in the US. The firearms themselves are pretty much the same, except American Glocks are sold with American made sights. The only other difference is that the .380 ACP Glocks - the Glock 25 and Glock 28 - are not available in the US as they cannot be made to meet the criteria of the Gun Control Act of 1968.

How come gun dealers in the US do not sale the Glock 25 Glock is a manufacture in Austria?
The Gun Control Act of 1968 set forth certain criteria which firearms manufacturers must meet before their firearms can be imported for resale on the US civil market. Even the Glock pistols which are sold in the US must be shipped with adjustable sights, which are then replaced with fixed, US manufactured sights once they arrive. The Glock 25 does not meet the criteria sufficiently to be allowed for import onto the US market.
Where are glocks pistols made at?
Austria and the US, although all are stamped AUSTRIA. They're stamped Austria because they're all made in Austria. The "US" pistols have to be shipped with flimsy adjustable sights in order to be legally imported into the US.. all the US division of Glock does is replace these with US-made fixed sights.
Was glock 17 ever entered into military police service?
NoAdded: I believe that it was among many types and other manufacturers that were tested by the military, but the US military ultimately chose the Beretta 9 mm as the chosen service pistol.Interestingly enough, certain "special ops" groups are authorized to be armed with pistols (and other firearms) of THEIR choice without regard to the Beretta.
Why does my Glock 19 have a usa marking and not austria?
If I were to take a guess as to why you have one in the Philippines with US markings.... If it's a service issue weapon, probably because it was delivered through a US military/law enforcement aid programme. When such funds are distributed from the US government, it's usually with a stipulation that it be used to buy materiel from US companies, and, in order to purchase Glock pistols with these funds, it would be required for them to go through the US subsidiary, rather than direct through the Austrian one. Looking at a brief rundown of gun laws there, it seems to give the impression that individuals authorised to own such firearms have the ability to have them imported, as well, although I could be misreading it.
