Glocks are not approved for sale in MA....Couldn't have one if I wanted one. I did get my claws on the top place gun though. It's now my primary carry![]()
Yup me too jmcd. I have the Sig P365 in micro and the XL Optics ready version. I also have the G26 mentioned in the article, but it's a Gen 3 versionCouldn't have one if I wanted one. I did get my claws on the top place gun though. It's now my primary carry![]()
Hate these States that have lists of approved & disapproved firearms.Glocks are not approved for sale in MA....![]()
Yeah, I could see that Annihilator. The 40, especially in that size, is going to be snappier that the G26 9mm. The Glocks I own include G19, G20, G21, G26, G27, G29, G30S, G40. If the G27 is snappy, I can't wait to feel how the G29 (10mm) with hot loads will feel. I also have the S&W M&P PC (V1) Shields in 9,40,&45. I was really surprised on how snappy the 40 was.Serious note, I got a Gen3 G27, with my wrist issue, it just sits, it was real snappy on recoil, not enough grip to actually get a real good hold on.
Private sale only. An FFL can't transfer them to us civilians. I believe we are the only state (Commonwealth) in the country that has that ludicrous honor.Glocks are not approved for sale in MA....![]()
Because people want them! Massachusetts will do anything to screw over any gun owner they can. All firearms sold in MA have to be on a state approved roster which is very limited.Ok, why can’t you get a Glock here? What is the reason?
Back in about 1997 they came out with this idea that all handguns need to meet certain safety requirements. Without boring you of the long list of requirements, guns have to be tested so that the can make a "roster" of "safe" guns that can be sold. The short story from what I have heard is every manufacturer has to supply a number of any particular gun to the state to be tested and approved for sale, at a considerable cost. Glock was unwilling to change or modify any of their "safe action" pistols in order for them to "approved". Although they are on the roster (because many police departments have them and use them as duty guns), they can only be sold to police\military through an FFL. No civilian sales unless it is post October 97. (So that would be Gen 2 Glock or prior) You can sell them through private sales. I have heard this same story from multiple sources but it could all be speculation. It would make sense for this state though.Ok, why can’t you get a Glock here? What is the reason?
Why not get a 9mm BBL to put in it ? Then you could at least shoot it from time to time.Serious note, I got a Gen3 G27, with my wrist issue, it just sits, it was real snappy on recoil, not enough grip to actually get a real good hold on.
I wonder if it's because Glock doesn't make any with manual safeties (like the 1911's, etc). Maybe Mass. doesn't think Glock's trigger safety mechanism is "Safe" enough. Just a thought. I've seen many manufacture's websites, have different models Indicating Mass. compliant, Cali. compliant, etc. Never really looked into these models, as I was fortunate not to live there.Back in about 1997 they came out with this idea that all handguns need to meet certain safety requirements.

I do know for certain that no FFL sales to civilians and private sales are ok. October 1997 and prior are "grandfathered"
I do have a Gen 2 Glock 19. Very picky on what I feed it.
