A young woman from our suburban NJ town attending college in Memphis was killed by a “stray” bullet while walking in a park week before last.
I’m trying to understand the advantage conveyed by a Glock switch in a standard configured pistol. Must be they are using some sort of cobbled extra extra long magazines that extend down and out of the hand grip? Otherwise, whats the point?
Thank you.
Who can afford this level of ammo expenditure anyway?
You’re right…it was Nashville. Sorry.
Thank you for sharing your insight and experience.
