Does Glock still do ballistic fingerprinting on guns they produce?

In a 2003 interview with 60 Minutes the head of Glock said they do......cannot find anything more recent.

Am curious if Glock maintained their ridiculous stance, or, was forced, under pressure, to change it.

Glock never "fingerprinted" any gun.

On 60 Minutes, a head of Glock showed *some* support for a national ballistic fingerprinting system.

Either way, ballistic testing and matching a bullet fired from a polygonal rifled barrel (like the one Glocks have) is near impossible.

I thought the issue would have ben settled and there would be more followup information to a 2003 story.

BTW, I am not a fan of Glocks....was merely curious.

As said. There is no issue. Glock does not keep "records" of Ballistics.
