If we knew how many pistols Glock made this year, both here and Austria, then add in another 10%, at least, for new ones already in stock would get you close to the numbers. The number of NIB Glocks still sitting in dealers cases has to be minute.
Very informative and precise Pluto57.I am going to get battered for the post but oh well... HA HA

Glock has a nearly 65% market share of the handguns in the U.S., according to Rommel Dionisio, managing director at brokerage firm Aegis Capital. Glock, the company’s founder, owns 99% of the business through a trust that Forbes estimates is worth $1.5 billion; neither he nor the company would comment.

The 750 million in profits would go way down if they didn’t sell their plastic guns with plastic sights!

To ascertain the amount of GLOCKs in these United States, venture into the darkness on a stark moonless night. Gaze unto the sky and count the stars.

And yet the general public (especially on this forum) want's to constantly second guess their engineering experience, and modify with aftermarket parts to make it "better".
Plastic sights serve 2 purposes:
1- you can easily knock them out and replace with your personal favorites.
2- keeps the cost down, if you want guns with steel sights, they will cost more for you to buy....pay now or pay later.
When you send in a Glock with functional complaints, the first thing they do is replace all the parts with new original stock components before diagnosis.

Further analysis besides my Post_10 with estimates/assumptions:
Austrian handgun imports to the USA from 2010-2017 was 6,932,517; disregarding other Austrian handgun brands; Glocks made in USA; and Glocks exported out of the USA.
20% (I judgementally estimated to be from Glock) of all handgun imports into the USA from 1986-2009 (as I couldn't find imports just from Austria, would be 369,197.
My 2018 estimate from Post_10: 1,064, 127.
My total estimate for Glocks in the U.S.: 8,365,841.

No idea, but America imported 1.3 million pistols from Austria in 2016. Gotta figure the vast majority of those were Glock’s, and of course does not include US manufactured Glocks.

Took me a 5 second Google search to find the answer, but there are plenty of enablers here that will find the answer for you.

I am not sure getting to Glock's annual sales is an easy search. You have to combine US made Glocks (and remove those exported), Austrian Glocks (and since it is by country only, have to estimate what percentage is comprised by Styr over the many years), and then you have to look at all the data and guess annually back to about 1986, and add it up (with many of those years not having data hosted online!).
There is no public metric whereby one can get the answer. This is educated guesswork using the data we can see and speculating. Glock doesn't publish their data, and the Feds don't share the data we need for an easy answer.
Then please enlighten and enable us. This is not something easily found with a 5 second Google search, for the reasons listed above.
