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.
Here’s a message for the NY Slimes
A spike in Glock sales
http://www.cbs6albany.com/news/glock-1281911-shooting-sales.html
‘Before they tighten up the state laws, I’m buying more guns’
I suspect Gaston Glock’s reply will be “Eat me!”
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.
“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.”
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.
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.
Thanks
Hanginge.
Another idiot with a stupid opinion he can’t back up with facts.
Thirty round magazines are for beginners.... How about 100 round drums!

I prefer my 1911A1 Springfield.
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!
