It states that 65% of law enforcement sales are Glocks, not that 65% of Glock sales are law enforcement.

My understanding is that firearms manufacturers use their LEO sales as a marketing vehicle for their civilian sales, which is where they make their money.

For example, I would be surprised if there weren't significantly more M&P pistols in civilian hands than LEOs. I don't believe there are any Military contracts for M&P pistols, at least not in any significant quantity. It's all about marketing.

Look at the picture on that article. The person's grip is making me cringe.

There's at least one gun manufacturer (a manufacturer of EBRs to boot) who IS leaving CT.
