[QUOTE="svtfocus2cobra, post: 16042915, member: 21786"] Same goes for Glocks. The Glock 17 was the 17th patent by Gaston Glock and so on. There's a good story with Glock and S&W too so hopefully I dont butcher it. S&W was getting killed by Glock since their rapid rise so S&W attempted to create a new corner of the market by creating the .40 S&W. They hadn't released their dedicated pistol for .40 yet but Glock had caught wind of this new round from his rivals. So while at the Shot Show that year, Gaston Glock went to the S&W booth and grabbed a handful of samples of .40 from their booth to take with him. He was not a well known figure yet so he figured no one would recognize him or know who he was, and he was right. He took the .40 samples he had and went back to his workshop to build a Glock that was chambered in this new .40 S&W. He discovered he could just slightly modify the existing Glock 17 which he did, and he had the Glock 22 being produced and to market soon after chambered in .40 S&W before Smith & Wessen even had their own pistol to market chambered in the round they created spicifically for themselves.
