They're not. They're made in Austria, and imported into the US. To be able to meet the criteria for import into the US under the Gun Control Act of 1968, they are shipped with rather fragile adjustable sights, which are replaced with US made fixed sights once they're received by the importer.The Glock GmbH did open a facility in smyrna Georgia to produce there polymer frames during late 2004.

What are glocks made of?

Glocks are primarily made of a combination of polymer and steel. The frame is constructed from a high-strength polymer, which makes the handgun lightweight and resistant to corrosion. The slide and barrel are made from steel, often treated with a protective finish to enhance durability and reduce wear. Additionally, various internal components, such as the trigger and firing mechanism, are typically made of metal alloys.

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.
