The G17 was adopted into service with the Austrian military and police forces in 1982 as the Pistole 80 (P80), with an initial order for 25,000 guns. The Glock 17 outperformed eight different pistols from five other established manufacturers. In 1985, after joint Norwegian and Swedish trials from 1983 to 1985, the Glock 17 was accepted into service as the P80 in Norway and P88 in Sweden, where it surpassed all prior NATO durability standards.
