Try as I may to think of something comparable, I can’t come up with anything to match the staggering surge in popularity of the AR-platform rifle over the past few years. Glock comes to mind, but the Austrian polymer gun took at least a decade (starting in 1985) to solidly grab the law enforcement handgun market. The 1911 is another possibility, but the growth in sales of Old Slab Sides has been incremental, not like the recent rocket of the AR.
