Well the additional receivers and barrels they'd sell would add to their income nicely.

"If true, this is a total sellout of gun owners in America."

Well, it wouldn't be the first time...or the last.

if true, all I can say is
what a fool

[John Jorsett]

The heck with what Glock did. I'm burning with curiosity to know if Michael Jackson appeared to defend himself. I won't be able to sleep until I know.

(/sarcasm)

Glad I didn't go Glock.... hopin the new Springfield takes their market shares.

[FreeInWV]

Dang, and I was thinking about buying one. Oh well.

Maybe they should ask S&W if this strategy works.

[Noslrac]

Maybe he is the VP for a reason. Are you sure this is the position of Glock or just the opinion of some guy who makes management decision? BTW glocks are wonderful firearms.

[Sgt_Schultze]

Doesn't Glock have a mfg. plant in MD - which has a ballistic fingerprint requirement? Sounds to me that they are geared to comply and are looking to squelch the competition.

[isthisnickcool]

A couple of things: 1) There are millions of hand guns they will never "fingerprint". 2) The smarter crooks who use autos have a habit of picking up their brass anyway. 3) Revolvers don't eject the casings.

You may recall that Glock and Ruger were ready to go lock-step with Smith & Wesson to sell out our rights -- until they heard the fan motor loading up . . .

[Billthedrill]

Must be fate. I busted my Glock today for the second time - the "indestructable" Glock, right? Trigger return spring. Crap.

Well, Mr. Kimber hasn't let me down yet.

I'm not a gun nut, and don't even own any guns at the moment. (I also live in a densely populated suburb, Greenwich, CT, where most murders are done with golf clubs by Kennedy cousins, but I digress). Anyway, how hard is it to change the "fingerprint" of a barrel. Could you do it with a coat hanger? just ham it down the barrel to make new striations? Or would it require more?

[Dan from Michigan]

Knowing this, I'll stick with my 1911.

[Blue Collar Christian]

It's a shame to see this. S&W, Ruger, Glock...who's next?

I don't own or would not by a Glock. They might well be excellent guns, but uuuuuglyyy!

I do own lot's of S&Ws, Rugers, Colts, Brownings, Remingtons, Winchesters etc., and would hate to see more treacherous behavior like what S&W is now trying to rectify. That's just not good customer relations.

[coloradan]

FYI.

[zx2dragon]

Very old news. A couple of years back the Glock annual had a thing about ballistic fingerprinting and how they worked to prove that it could be effective.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Didn't Glock hear about what happened to Smith & Wesson when they turned their back on the Second Amendment?

[jpl]

The worst part about the (hit) piece was the "experts" who laughably tried to assert that violent criminals wouldn't bother going to the trouble to alter their weapon's ballistic signature.
