A message for Glock (Editorial suggesting glock should stop selling to civilians)
NY Post ^ | January 12, 2011

Posted on 01/12/2011 2:35:09 PM PST by lowbridge

Why Loughner -- who'd been rejected by the military for his past drug use and arrested on drug charges -- was free to buy a 30-round magazine is a mystery.

Almost as much a mystery, frankly, as why Glock even markets them: They have no discernible civilian efficacy -- and damned little military utility.

Yet sales of the magazines reportedly are way up around the country in the wake of the Tucson massacre.

Here's an opportunity for the NYPD -- and every big-city police department in the nation -- to help turn this around by sending Glock a simple message: Halt all sales of the magazines to civilians -- or we'll stop using your weapon for our own officers.

If guns kill people, then pencils make spelling errors.

The 33 round magazine is for the G18, a select fire “machine pistol” that is only sold in Europe to military and leos. I did see one at Knob Creek 10 years ago tho. After the second round you are trying to keep it from shooting holes in clouds. They are an NFA firearm, highly regulated, requiring BATFE papers to own. As for the mags, I guess there is a cool factor, although how cool it is having at least 10 inches of mag hanging out your G17 or G19 escapes me, but to each his or her own. I suppose for range time they cut down on reloads.

I imagine with a scrambled egg mindset like his, Loughner had no moral reservations about taking $600 from his mother’s purse.

Yup. I own a couple. Just because. A couple of years ago I think I got them for cheap. Haven't priced them lately.

I suspect Gaston Glock’s reply will be “Eat me!”

“Genuine Glock, IIRC for a G30? that is not marketed in the US.”

Glock does market the G30 in the US. The magazine capacity is 10 rds insomuch as the G30 is a sub compact. The 13rd mags for a G21 work in a G30 altho they do extrude somewhat from magazine well.

And this goes unnoticed. He was able to purchase this weapon because an idiot Sheriff was too lazy/ corrupt to report or prosecute him for his many run-ins with the law, including death threats .

Glock better not listen to these fools. They will be treated like SMith and Wesson after the same type of Clinton blackmail.

I wonder about the utility of a 30 round mag as an owner of a Glock 23 with a CCW permit. It’s bulky enough without the extra long mag. But I recognize that others might disagree and who am I to argue.

You could not conceal a Glock with a 30 round mag in it. BUT you could conceal a Glock just fine with its regular mag, and have the 30-round mag sitting vertical in your spare magazine holder on your other side. My attitude would be, if I'm going out anticipating the possibility of needing to swap mags, I want the new mag to be a BIG mag.

Thirty round magazines are for beginners.... How about 100 round drums!

Well educate thyself FRiend.....32 round magazines originally manufactured for the Glock 18, standard capacity and the plus II magazine bases are cheap an plentiful and at reasonable cost in most conservative red states. Many of my co-workers carry a Glock 19, 17 or 34 with 1 of the spare 32 round sticks as off duty rigs. Comfy combat tupperware per se...

Just sayin......Stay Safe !!

Extended mags for reload make great sense. If you spent one mag and ain’t done, style points for a flush contour no longer matter!

Watch yer knot!
