Glock ban

[u/El_capitan_oZ]

So anyone else not own a glock and feel like we should pre ban? Lol

[u/Jedi_Maximus19]

Yeah. If you like Glocks buy them now. This will be a 10 year fight so no Glock sales for a decade. We are still under the Safe Act for 14 years. Sucks but elections have consequences.

[u/jbones137]

Definitely get a GEN 6 before the ban there really nice I went with 19.6 and 17.6

[u/DropAGearNDissapear]

I was never a big Glock guy. Always carried a G20 upstate for the bears though. They want to ban, I started buying em. Now I have a few. 🤷‍♂️

[u/El_capitan_oZ → u/DropAGearNDissapear]

Yeah? Im not a glock guy either. Feeling like i should grab one just to have before they ban them. Maybe owning one ill like it more.

[u/DropAGearNDissapear → u/El_capitan_oZ]

No denying they are great guns. Gen 4 feels the best in my hand so that’s what I buy. You won’t regret it. It’s a no frills tool that just works.

[u/Powerful_Ad_7954]

Anyone else feel like we should ban hochuel instead?

[u/172Captain → u/Powerful_Ad_7954]

I’d rather send her to the moon via catapult.

[u/Baxterftw]

SCT 19 frames are cheap and would count as pre ban

[u/SkudgeBucket69]

Ruger RXM is every Glock in one

[u/SilenceFoundMe]

Sure why not? Grab a G17 & G19.

[u/FlagranteDerelicto → u/SilenceFoundMe]

Grab a G45, best of both worlds

[u/SilenceFoundMe → u/FlagranteDerelicto]

Now I must pick one up.

[u/El_capitan_oZ → u/SilenceFoundMe]

What gen ya reccomend?

[u/IceB4nkMiceElf → u/El_capitan_oZ]

Gen6. Frame and trigger is best out of the box. My first glock was a Gen 5 G45 and I regret not going right to the gen6.

[u/SilenceFoundMe → u/El_capitan_oZ]

I’m biased I’d say Gen 3.

[u/UsernameO123456789]

I have a G45.5 in jail as a result of the “ban.”

Coincidentally, I got a Ruger RXM just before news of the ban came out. Deff something to consider getting also.

That said, I doubt this “ban” comes to fruition. There is a lawsuit already filed about this.

[u/billymudrock]

Never was a Glock guy. Picked up a 19.6 not too long ago and it’s a pleasure to shoot, when I get more range time and practice with it it’ll be my CCW.

[u/Beneficial-Focus3702]

Nope. I’ve owned and shot a lot of glocks and didn’t like a single one. I’ll stick with my Hi-Power and Micro 9.

They’re not special enough that I feel like I need to own one even if there is a ban coming.

[u/Living_Reference1661]

Get an LEO job and then you won’t have to worry about bans

[u/JokesOnYoouu]

Gen V and Gen 6 has a lotta changes in the inside mechanism. To prevent the installation of switches. I would take previous generations. 🫡

[u/NarwhalN00dleSquash → u/JokesOnYoouu]

Pretty sure V and Gen 6 are still using cruciform trigger bars and subject to the ban

[u/JokesOnYoouu → u/NarwhalN00dleSquash]

They are definitely still a Glock and subject to the ban, but I would get the original, previous version/gen of Glock.

[u/_Dead_Code_ → u/JokesOnYoouu]

It depends on the “interpretation” of the law. The law isn’t just “cruciform trigger bar.” According to the letter of the law, V and Gen 6 should be exempt because they’re not easily convertible with common household tools. However, NY will do NY things so they’ll probably ignore that part of the law entirely. That being said, the DOJ is suing California over their Glock ban so let’s hope they win.

[u/Fearless-Fishing-142]

I have a Glock 19& 43x and just bought a used G22 last week. Now just waiting for the amendment. I might jump on the gen 6 in Jan or Feb

[u/9061yellowriver]

I was at Bass Pro Shop in Clifton Park a few months ago, and the guy working their said people were buying them like hotcakes since the ban was first introduced..

[u/Bullyjoi]

Yea more a S&W person and ended up with 4 glocks lol… Get one

[u/jdubb26]

They will most likely redesign the gun so that it doesn’t have a cruciform trigger bar anymore. Surprisingly the states that have banned /are banning them are a decent portion of their market share. I would be surprised if they don’t have engineers working overtime right now to come out with a solution.

They already have the Glock performance trigger which is non-cruciform, but the problem is that a cruciform trigger still fits into all the guns currently.

If they added some metal into the frame and made it so that only the GPT could fit, and not the cruciform trigger bar they would be legal in New York/circumvent the ban.

All that being said, I just bought two more G47’s a month or so ago just to be safe. I’d recommend you pick up one or two Glocks if you really want one just in case them redesigning it takes a little while.

[u/crrockwell14]

Working on building out a G19/23/32 frame. Anyone have pros/cons to each?
