Association

The Glock 19 is associated with our broader contemporary crime subjects documented throughout our publishing program, particularly FAVELA MÁFIA and FAVELA NARCO PETS, where Glock-pattern pistols with extended magazines form part of the visual language surrounding armed favela factions, narcotics networks, and the Brazilian underworld. Also relevant to HEAVYWEIGHT and other crime-focused titles.

Description

Austrian-made Glock 19 chambered in 9×19mm, fitted with an extended 32-round magazine. Compact, reliable, and easily concealed, the Glock 19 has become one of the most recognizable modern handguns in both legitimate security use and illicit criminal markets.

Glock pistols circulate through the underworld through theft, diversion from legitimate stocks, trafficking, and resale across secondary markets. Their reputation for reliability, compact dimensions, and compatibility with extended magazines has also made them highly visible in contemporary organized-crime imagery, including armed factions operating within Brazilian favelas, where pistols exist alongside rifles and other trafficked firearms within heavily armed criminal networks.

This example also has the factory 15-round magazine and has been permanently deactivated in accordance with European regulations and is retained solely as a reference and collection artifact.

Notes

All required EU deactivation certification, engraved markings, and firearms documentation, accompanying this firearm are included, permitting its lawful exhibition and transport within the European Union in accordance with applicable regulations.

Their possession has been duly notified to the competent Dutch authorities in accordance with applicable legal requirements and submitted for official registration. They are maintained solely for historical reference, education and exhibition, as is common in war and history museums throughout Europe.
