From last year's Polygon article... (Destiny)

by bluerunner , Music City, Wednesday, April 16, 2014, 06:54 (3873 days ago) @ Revenant1988

I read a great book recently on the history and inner workings of Glock. Glock USA was built up in the late 80s by a guy named Karl Walter. He was a genius at marketing the pistols and made Gaston Glock a fortune. Unfortunately, he was overshadowing Gaston, and Glock didn't like that. Plus the other employees in Austria were very jealous of how much he was making based on his commission for each pistol sold. Gaston Glock ended up firing him in the early 90s. Karl Walter was a victim of his own success.
