The bill takes aim at gun makers who don't put in safeguards to prevent their hand guns from being converted by pistol converters or Glock switches. Myrie's bill doesn't target the switches themselves. His bill instead says "any person, dealer, firm, partnership, or corporation" that sells, transports, or ships "as merchandise a convertible pistol" would be committing a felony, according to the Journal. TLDR: NY gonna NY and outlaw Glocks bc already illegal Glock switches. |

id say theres that whole issue about common use but NY doesnt give a fuck and will do what they want. fucking rats

That'll stop the gang bangers that don't give a flying fuck about laws.

I don't like Glocks, but much the same as I feel about anchovies, I would NOT want to see them outlawed...

Quoted: What’s the point of a 43x in nys? Can’t load more that 7 rounds. Might as well just stick with the g43 View Quote Yes you can,the 7rd thing was squashed years ago Attached File |

well i guess the Glocks will wind up tossed in the same drawer as the brass knuckles, slingshots, and and switchblades.

I kinda called this in a bunch of switch threads. Glocks will be labeled as "readily convertible" by the ATF eventually. They'll be forced to change their slide design. Similar to the way the open bolt Macs and Tecs got changed to closed bolt.

I’d imagine any semi-auto gun could be converted to fire in a fully automatic fashion given enough time and effort.

China is flooding in Glock switches not lightning links or anything else it seems. Also a lightning link would be more specific to the individual AR setup and usually needs to be tuned. Glock switches being essentially drop in. I'll bookmark this thread to see if my eventually right. |

You can just file down the firing pin and even make a revolver fully semi automatic banana clip

As long as the police are banned from having Glocks also.
Think of the shit show that would create. But knowing .gov they will exempt themselves. |

Would other plastic pistols like M&P also be convertible the same way? |

Quoted: Glocks should be outlawed because they’re Glocks. View Quote I like a lot of revolvers, I love BHPs, CZ’s are an obsession. But having a Glock handy with no safety and with a round up the pipe warms my heart. Knowing it will not forsake me or let me down. It will kill wild hogs and it will kill javelins and if a deer tries to get up it will kill that deer. Glocks will kill. |
