Glock in Massachusetts

[graphics2code]

Hey guys,

I've tried to figure the answer to this one, but can't.

Upon looking at the Updated (4-11) handgun roster list I see the GLOCK.

http://www.mass.gov/Eeops/docs/chsb/firearms/approved_firearms_roster_04-2011.pdf

However most people are saying its not possible to buy a new GLOCK in MA anymore. Whats the deal here, who is correct. If its not legal, why is it on the list?

Thanks,
M

They are on the approved EOPS roster yes, however they do not "comply" with the AG's Regulations regarding Handgun Sales in MA.

Oh, how lovely.. okay, thanks man. I appreciate the help.

Now, what would you recommend as a "glock alternative". I really fell in love with it last Fall in CO.

Thanks again.
M

You can find a Pre-98 glock or buy a post 98 glock on an FTF transfer. You can get a Gen2 Glock 19 with 2 mags for about $500 if you look around.

Would there happen to be a guide somewhere for a first time buyer on how you would get a Glock, either FTF or pre-ban? I am new to this so sorry for all the questions.

I'm confused too, but I would suspect it's where the unstoppable force meets the immovable object? I'm just skimming the website, but does it have anything to do with the AGO requirements on sales, in spite of the EOPS list? I'm just thinking out loud...

Four Seasons (In Woburn) always has a ton of pre-98 Glocks. If you want a third gen/new glock just look in the NES classifieds, they are often expensive (versus pre-state prices) but you can always find them.

Okay, thanks so much guys.

Now, I have family/friends in Florida and CO, is it legal to buy from them since its on the EPOS but not legal for sale here? Wow this is friggin confusing.. and another reason I became a GOAL member, this needs to change.

Answered my own question, seems they would have to move here and then they could sell it to me.

+1 I've bought five Glocks from Four Seasons, one from Bob's & one face to face (G36).
