LOL. Wroooooooong. That's merely a stamp saying that the pistol in the picture was assembled in Smyrna, Ga, parts made in Austria. The Austrian assembled Glocks have GmbH stamped there instead of Glock Smyrna.
"...Glocks are shipped into the country as finished parts from Austria, including the slide which is already tennifered. The Glock facility in Smyrna assembles them and test fires them and sells them.
Sometimes when the demand here is too high and they don't have enough guns to meet it, they will import guns from Austria that have already been assembled and proofed, hence the Austrian marks and also the import stamp which is on the bottom of the trigger guard."
That Ga gun has some bad mill marks in the slide groves?
Last but not least, Austrian Proof Marked Glock engraved import mark....notice it says thr exact thing as is molded in the side of the other Austrian manufactured Glock....except it is engraved instead of molded.

Let's break this down, since you're having trouble. The import mark is NOT the "Glock, Smyrna" stamp on the frame, it's the Austrian eagle with (closest relation to) the NPV stamp on the right side of the frame, the right side of the slide, and the top of the barrel. That means that the pistol in question was fully assembled in Austria and imported to the U.S. The one that have the "Glock, Smyrna" stamp on the frame with no markings on the slide, barrel, or G.m.b.H stamped on the frame ARE NOT technically imported. The parts are imported, and assembled in Smyrna, but not considered a fully assembled imported gun.
Did it take much practice to be that wrong. The proof marks are not import marks, nor do they have anything to do with the United States in any way shape or form.
So what you are saying is Glock bothers to put adjustable sights on the slides of the parts they are importing so that the parts have enough points to be imported as a complete gun.....even though they are imported as parts and not complete firearms? Is that seriously your argument?
In other words, you habe no idea what you are talking about.
The "Austrian proof marks" are actually required marks for the guns to be sold on Austria. Again, nothing to do with importing.
