shortly thereafter, the glock 17 was accepted into service with the norwegian and swedish armed forces, surpassing all prior nato durability standards. as a result, the glock 17 became a standard nato-classified sidearm and was granted a nato stock number (1005-25-133-6775). by 1992, some 350,000 pistols had been sold in more than 45 countries, including 250,000 in the united states alone.
