yakdung 2,926 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) I took a trip to my favorite gun store in the Tomball Texas. I was told by the owner that Glock High Capacity magazines are not longer being allowed to be imported into the United States by the BATFE. The shooting in Arizona was the reason why. No Saiga12's to be found, but they had one in .223. I was also told that their cost for the 12's went up by $150.00 in January due to demand. I also managed to pick up three 30 gallon food grade plastic drums made in the USA for $19.00 for water storage from another source. Hurricane season is upon us.

MT Predator 2,294 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 So calling a pawnshop is going to verify a ban on Glock mags? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yakdung 2,926 Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) So calling a pawnshop is going to verify a ban on Glock mags? Do what you want with the information I could care less. Tomball is a full blown gun store. I did call Bachman in Dallas and asked the same question. I was told "just because I haven't heard anything doesn't mean it hasn't happened". Yakdung Edited June 8, 2011 by yakdung Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yakdung 2,926 Posted June 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) I just spoke with the guys at Jim Pruett's Guns and Ammo and I was told "Glock has voluntary taken them off of the market. I can no longer get them as well". He also thought that if the BATFE did this, it would be a selective action and all high caps would have to be targeted. Sounds like some under table dealings to me. I believe this to be the correct version. Vendors on this site should be able to run this up the flagpole and check for verification. It may have to do with this bill in congress as well. If this is the case, I find it kind of interesting because the KTI Korean version are unaffected. http://thomas.loc.go...hp?n=BSS;c=112| Yakdung Edited June 8, 2011 by yakdung Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Butzbach 1 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Ironically, there is no telling how many lives were saved that day when his high capacity mag jammed. After a performance like that if I were Glock I would take them off the market too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

After a performance like that if I were Glock I would take them off the market too. I don't recall reading of a jam in the Giffords shooting, if that's what you're talking about. Rather, I read that a woman close to the shooter grabbed the long mags as he tried to use them to reload the weapon. Edited June 8, 2011 by Jim Digriz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gshack 2 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Not trying to question the validity of your source, but a quick check shows the factory Glock 33rd mags in stock at several of the usual places. The prices seem to be what they were a few months ago. Also, the clone magazines are made in Korea, so if there was a true import ban I would expect it to affect these mags also. They appear to be available for the usual prices at a number of internet sites. Based on this evidence, a BATFE ban seems unlikely unless it is true and nobody else knows about it yet so the panic buying has not yet begun Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The BATFE thing is not so certain as there could be some under table dealings or leaning on Glock due to military contracts or some such. Yakdung Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you are searching for complete information on the Internet, Google would not be the search engine of choice. Yakdung. Where would you go then? If I search for Glock magazine ban on Google there are only links to old discussions for 10 round magazines. There are no news articles, no discussions of any new ban, absolutely nothing to suggest that anyone even guessed there would be some ban on them. News like this would travel like wildfire across the internet. Arfcom would literally be on fire. It would be EVERYWHERE. It would be kind of a big deal. There wouldn't be no information about it. In fact, if you Google search for "Glock importation high capacity" the only link that even suggests anything of the sort is the very first result, leading to this thread.

SOPMOD 254 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Since Rabin was killed in Israel and subsequently assault weapons other than pistols were banned for personal ownership the Glock with buttstock and 33rd mags has become the most popular option for serious self defense In a place where ALL of the badguys roll with AKs,RPGs and Explosive Suicide Vests nobody turns their noses up at the "Mall Ninja Glock" setup and I don't think anyone here should either. I own 24 of the "Donkey Dick" mags and I plan on owning a lot more especially when they work out the LRBHO for the Glock Mag AR15 lowers. If they ban them I will be pissed to the max! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SOPMOD 254 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Was the original post referring to 33 Rounders or anything more than ten rounds? The reason the 33rd mags are being mentioned is because they were used by the wingnut in AZ and would most likely be the primary excuse for any import ban. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
