So I work at a LGS, haven't seen a 19, 43, or 17 in weeks. Backordered out the wazoo. Someone at work mentioned a crate of Glocks being help up at a port on the East Coast by U.S. Customs? Anyone else hear this?

Anyone else hear this? View Quote I'm a licensed customs broker (I clear imported goods through Customs for importers). Glock is a regular importer. They would have all their ATF paperwork, commercial invoices, etc., in order. It would take something extraordinary for CBP to put the goods of a regular importer on hold, unless something was really funky. A "crate" on hold wouldn't create a huge shortage. Maybe an ocean container. I suspect that what you're hearing is just BS. |

I was at a gun show this weekend and Glock 17s seemed to be short. Other than that, Glock all over the fuckin' place.
|
|
There's another thread here where at a bigger outdoors store the story goes that the shortage is due to a mil contract too........

Odd. ALL my local dealers have G17, G19, etc in-stock.....heck, they even have the Vickers Gray RTF 17 and 19s.

Why is everyone is a fuss about a shortage of Glocks. They are popular right now just like every other handgun out there. Barry is a big seller of guns and people are buying. No shortage exist except in peoples minds just because a few LGS are out does not mean anything. From time to time my LGS's are out of certain Glocks that is because people have bought them and the distributor is waiting for more to come in to replenish the LGS or the LGS has not yet ordered more. |

My LGS in Smyrna GA usually has a HUGE inventory of anything you can think of.
When I bought my latest gun a few weeks ago I asked about a shortage of 3 firearms I was interested in buying that they sold out of. They replied between Christmas, black Friday and Obama scaring everyone they haven’t been able to keep up with demand. |

I mean, I work for Impact Guns which is a kinda big online dealer who is supplied from a dozen different suppliers. And they all got nothing to supply at the moment. Looks like some other suppliers got the good stuff.

I heard that they've figured out life support tech for the X-37b and they're gonna send it on longer missions.
Think mars. ![]() |

Pretty sure any Glock 43 shortage is due to the public buying metric assloads of them.

Quoted:
I thought they were all made in Smyrna. View Quote Most of the Smyrna guns are for export to get around countries that won't allow imports from Austria. Some do pop up here from time to time though. Notable exception is the G42, which has to be made here because of the ATF import points system. |

Haven't you heard the delta seal snipers are all getting them first before civilians can have any.

I'll admit to somewhat panic buying a new G17 last month. I'd always wanted one and figured I better get it while I can.

Is anything hard to believe?
Facebook just shut down private, person to person, gun classified ads this weekend. Then the administration went out of its way to state they had nothing to do with it. (probable translation, they were directly responsible) |

Glocks made in Austria may be used for the Austrian and German market.
There is a huge demand among Austrians and Germans due to the many nice people from Syria that have arrived. |

LGS BS.
This from the same guys who told me I better "hurry up and buy a Ruger MK III .22lr while I still can, cause Obama is gonna ban hi-cap rifle caliber handguns any day now!!!" |

Glocks are back-ordered because it's just after the holidays. This happens every year with guns.
