Yeah, I believe the last one had them on as well. Not sure about the ones farther back.

I really can't find anything thrillingly new on the roster.

 

[zzrider]

Straighten me out on something here: all those Glocks on the list can't actually be purchased from a gun store in MA, because they don't meet the AG's requirements, right?

Why does the EOPS publish a list containing guns that they know the AG won't let stores sell?

I hate this state.

 

[News Shooter]

This is not the AG's approved list

 

[Big_Red]

Walther PPS is finally on it but in 9mm. Doesn't this also come in .40?

ya but I think if the only difference is caliber, then they are both approved.

 

[zzrider]

This is not the AG's approved list

Right... there is no "AG's list", correct? Just a list of criteria, but no actual list of what specific handguns meet them?

for one LE can get it with their ID

Man, I've never seen one in a store. Up until now, I thought the AO was the only 1911A1 replica you could get in MA. Are the Rock Island guns any better than the AutoOrdnance's?

Bingo!

Did I mention I HATE Massachusetts?

 

[Big_Red]

Hmm, I don't know about that.

 

[Manomet]

Yes TVI but you don't have Coupe Deval, Barney Frank, Ted Kennedy, etc. etc.

If I ever wanted to give a neg. rep point.....

 

[glide]

Why are the Sig's with the DAK trigger on there? I thought those were still a no no.

 

[GLOCK.Perfection]

Why are the Sig's with the DAK trigger on there? I thought those were still a no no.

they are, trigger pull is under 10lbs

Let's put it this way. In the question: "Are the xyz guns any better than the AutoOrdnance's?" the answer is always "Yes."

Unless xyz = Rock Island

 

[sig2009]

Why are the Sig's with the DAK trigger on there? I thought those were still a no no.

Because they suck with the DAK trigger and no one wants one.

 

[sig2009]

they are, trigger pull is under 10lbs

10 lb trigger pull???? You better swap that out for a 5 lb. one asap.

 

[machocheese]

DAK trigger?
Please explain.
Newbie here.

 

[GLOCK.Perfection]

DAK trigger?
Please explain.
Newbie here.

forget the acronym, but its a DAO trigger, since its dao and the trigger pull is under 10 lbs, its a no no for dealers to sell

 

[Executive]

DAK trigger?
Please explain.
Newbie here.

DAK = Double Action Kellerman type trigger. This is the Sig "light" double action that is pre-cocked and requires a lesser pull than a traditional double action and is not quite the same as single action. (I think.)

Thanks!

ya but I think if the only difference is caliber, then they are both approved.

Regrettably not the case. If they change colors of plastic/metal, even if they only change the model name (happened to the S&W 1911 PD), they must get "re-certified". Some "re-certifications" are allowed by application and others require full-boat testing.
