Why shouldn't Chuck stump for Glock? I would if they asked me and I don't even like Glocks. Beats a gig selling Depends or something. Glock is a good weapon and they've been popular here in the US for decades now. As I think about it he'll be a good face for Glock. Chuck is an icon for a lot of us. I remember him fighting Bruce Lee himself in Return of the Dragon. He did study under Lee. How many action guys extant can say that?


I say you go Chuck!

Why is his heart in the wrong place? Are you suggesting that he is doing something wrong by being the face of a legal safe product that is used and enjoyed by responsible adults round the world?



Do you have any issue with Mathew McConaughey being the pitch man for Lincoln SUV's a potentially dangerous product that if used in an unsafe manner by irresponsible adults round the world can be deadly?





I say good for Norris and good for Glock to have him.

I don't see the problem. It's better than Terry Bradshaw and his walk in bath/shower commercial.

I'd say his heart is in the perfect place.


In 1990, Norris established the United Fighting Arts Federation and Kickstart Kids. As a significant part of his philanthropic contributions, the organization was formed to develop self-esteem and focus in at-risk children as a tactic to keep them away from drug-related pressure by training them in martial arts. Norris hopes that by shifting middle school and high school children's focus towards this positive and strengthening endeavour, these children will have the opportunity to build a better future for themselves.[53][126] Norris has a ranch in Navasota, TX where they bottle water; a portion of the sales support environmental funds and Kickstart Kids.

He's like a dinosaur in the industry, been going on for ages it seems.

Didn't know that. I really don't care for Glocks, but now that I know that, I'll go pick up one. More of a Sig, H&K guy.

Who is Chuck Norris?

Tell you this much. Anyone who made money for decades and still has to pimp themselves out is short on brains in some sense.

Our ex-Presidents make money pimping themselves out for millions in speaking revenue.

It’s really not as uncommon or unflattering as you think.
