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.

I do agree that Glock should stop SELLING the weapons. They should have a large scale giveaway like the Liberators of WW2.

Every good American should know how to use firearms safely.

I plan to purchase a short frame 29 this weekend. Intend to use it for a carry gun.

Is it any wonder there’s been a massive “run” on Glock pistols in recent days?

On FOX earlier....gun sales up since shooting, particularly in the southwest and particularly Glock 19s

Yep....Agree. I carry an ASP Baton and a 29 round variant of the 32rnd Glock 18 magazine in a combo IWB carrier when carrying my Glock 35 or Glock 31. As you stated....if primary carry mag didn’t get it done then the OMG stick mag is yer friend. Even when packing a 1911A1 I carry 2 spare Wilson Rogers 10 round spare magazines along with the primary 8 round Wilson Rogers mag in the weapon. Go big so ya can get to yer shotgun or rifle is my plan A.

Just what I do....

Yeah and as an astute businessman, Mr. (Anton?) Glock will certainly shut off that part of his market.

It's Gaston Glock.

The Glock 19 comes with a 17 round magazine. So that 30 round extended mag was bought somewhere else. You can get them everywhere. But I don’t want to confuse our author with the facts. LOL!

I scored a Glock 19 (3rd gen) last month. Glad I did.

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

Or the equivalent in the German language which is probably something that's anatomically impossible.

Glock himself seems to be an amazing old guy. HERE I'll make a guess that military and police sales are much less than half of Glock's business. I don't think he's going to throw away his company because of a NY Post editorial.

If they ban Glocks then we’ll all have to buy 1911s. Please don’t throw us into that brier patch!

What I find interesting on this thread is the concerns with what this fruitcake paid for a pistol, mags, and ammo to commit murder.

Does anyone think he went into the store and asked the clerk, "Hey buddy, I want a cheap 9 mm pistol with hi-cap mags and a box of ammo to shoot some people next week."

I doubt seriously the magazine was made by Glock! Even their normal capacity mags are expensive. If they even make a 30, the cost would probably be out of sight.

Nope. Made by Glock, and (as such things go) not all that expensive.

There's a place locally that has them, wants (IIRC) over $60 for one. Can be had from Internet vendors, in normal times, for considerably less.

Banned here in CA 10 mag is max allowed.

That's a relief. It's lost on all these clowns that had Uncle Fester been packing a 1911, Gabby Giffords would be very dead.
