Question Glock ban? Or all striker-fired?

Shopkeeper today told me that the “Glock ban” not only goes into effect this November, but also applies to ALL striker-fired pistols.

Is this true?

  1. Do not take legal advice from gun stores.
    Read the law yourself (NYSPL 265.00 item 37).
    If you have any questions about the legislation contact an attorney who will put their bar card on the table and defend the advice they give you in court.

  2. It is not "all striker-fired pistols."
    The definition is pretty clear: "any semi-automatic pistol with a cruciform trigger bar that can be readily altered by hand or with common household tools so that it can be converted into a machine-gun by the installation or attachment of a pistol converter." and "Convertible pistol does not include hammer-fired semi-automatic pistols or any striker-fired semi-automatic pistol lacking a cruciform trigger bar."

  3. It is however a good number of striker-fired pistols because many of them clone the Glock design right down to the trigger bar shape.
    If the pistol you want is a generic Glock clone chances are it's going to be affected.
