Import restrictions on Glock 25/28

Post by paadams »

Was discussing guns at work with a friend and he asked my why the .380/Glock 25/28 are not available in the US except for LEO. Any one know why those particular guns are restricted to import? I've done some brief searching but thought i'd post a question why i continued to search the web.

Scroll down to the answer to this question: "What is the BATF points system and how does it affect Glocks?"

It is also worth mention that the 380 sizes are the exact size specs as the 9mm models.....there really is no advantage to them unless you have more money to spend on ammo! :shock:

:iagree:
But we always want what we can't have... the folks in the countries where those Glocks can be bought are most likely very envious of the weapons we can have here.
