This is likely a stupid question.
Can I the average civilian, purchase a glock with the hi-cap mags(like 15rds in 9mm)?

Yes, and they are much cheaper since the ban lifted. I don't know what state your in and if there are any restrictions though. 0 -
As long as you do not live in Kalifornia or New York or one of the other states that have a state law aginst hi-cap mags the answer is yes. There is no longer a federal law but the states and local laws may prevent you from owning a hi-cap mag. My 2 cents [8D]

As my profile states, I live in MI. Can anyone give me a link to which states have those laws? A side question: Has anyone shot glock's "C" versions? Do they really reduce recoil tha much, or barely a difference? To the rich, everything is a neccessity. To the poor, everything is a luxury0 -

One thing to keep in mind with compensated models is you will get more muzzle flash, though it will reduce the felt recoil. Best bet is to find a range where you can rent one to fire before deciding on what you want to buy.0 -
I bought my wife a Glock 19C for her first pistol. Even though it was just a 9mm you could definitely tell the difference in recoil between a regular 19. Used to always use it for CC but stopped when I realized if I shot it offhand and close to the body I was sure gonna get some burns to remember.[:D] Dandy 0 -
Here is the cheepest glock mags I have found lately for new ones: http://botach.com/
I have not ordered from this company yet but they have some good pirces. My other favorite site is: http://cdnninvestments.com/. I have spent more money there then I would care to admit, great company.

Thanks, but I don't own a glock yet/maybe ever. I just figured if I were to buy one, especially in 9mm or .380, I would want as many shots as legal to carry. Also, I'm not sure how flash would matter at all in a life/death scenario. I'm just weighing my options like getting a strong caliber without breaking myself somehow, because I DO intend to practice frequently. To the rich, everything is a neccessity.

Bean, this is the second post I have seen from you like this (the first was about the S&W revolvers). Do you own ANY guns?
I don't mean to discourage you at all, I think your questions are sensible (despite the titles). But you seem to be feeling us out as if you are looking to buy your first gun. Am I right?
If so, congrats! Ask away, this is a great forum for getting all the right answers.

Its not a stupid question.
Yes, civilians can own them.
Ironically in my state of MA, Glocks are standard issue for most Police, however they are considered too "dangerous" for ordinary civilians.
Consequently, new Glocks are actually illegal in MA, meaning 3rd generation ones are extremely scarce. However, there are tons of used and factory reconditioned first and second generation Glocks floating around this state.
.380 Glocks exist in Europe, but I don't think any are available in the USA. Even if they were, I still wouldnt buy one. Why bother when there are plenty of 9mm Glocks around that hit harder?0 -
Woundedwolf, you must have missed my MANY posts about the guns I do own. You are correct, this will be my first HAND GUN. Yes, I am "feeling" you all out because I'm hoping to broaden my knowledge about pistols. As I've sorta stated elsewhere, I actually know fairly much about guns in all aspects, too. In a way, pistols are an entirely different worl to me, with different laws, calibers(confusing ones at that), and even uses. BTW, quote:If so, congrats! Ask away, this is a great forum for getting all the right answers.what if what if I wasn't?[:D] To the rich, everything is a neccessity. To the poor, everything is a luxury0 -
Bean if you want to shoot a lot then you should get a 9mm as the ammo is much cheaper then .380, .40sw, and .45acp. With a GLOCK you can shoot(when carried or whenever used for self defense) +p ammo, or at the range you can shoot regular ol winchester white box 9mm target ammo. You can have all the bullets in the world but if you need them all you'll probably already be dead.

Beeramid, I'm not saying I'll shoot everyday, probably not even every week. The cost of ammo doesn't matter much. "9mm only cost .20/round and I would need 10, but .357 cost 1.00/round and only need 1 or 2". I pulled those numbers frm the shady spot but that doesn't make a lick of sense, does it?
