Heard a rumor today

[Al-Jim19]

i was told that dark horse gunsmithing and personal defense specialist in south Hadley were both shut down by the atf for reasons related to Glock sales. Can anyone confirm or deny?

 

[LittleCalm]

why would atf care?

 

[Ranger007]

why would atf care?

Correct why would he ATF give a flying F about “Glock Sales”?

 

[gerrycaruso]

First, I don't think the ATF would care about state law and second, Glocks are on the approved list. It's only Maura who doesn't like them

I believe it remember that nice little shop in Dracut?

 

[ProGun]

^I do, good people, too.

 

[mjbff]

A little mouse told me M. H. personally does not like Glock Or anything that almost Rhymes with it

 

[Reptile]

That stinks!

Here is the PDS Facebook page:

Personal Defense Specialists

Said since December, they are waiting for their dealers license to get renewed.

Lol she doesn't like Clocks?

Was told they ran afoul of something the atf cared about - specifically purchasing glocks, splitting them into slides and receivers, and then selling them separately. The owner of the shop said the atf didn’t like that they were doing that.

I’m wondering if there’s someone else out there who’s heard what’s going on with either of these shops. The atf stuff is only half of the story here.

Yes, a broke clock is correct more than she is....

I believe that nice little shop in Dracut got in trouble with the AG, not the ATF. They ultimately opted to stop selling firearms all together

 

[ccm75]

Reminds me of Mike's troubles at Titegroup...

 

[Al-Jim19]

Just to point out too, both DHGS and PDS were great shops - very helpful owners and good prices too.

I think that would be c**cks

Fudds being fudds, glock sales maybe, ATF doubtful.

LOL, ATF can get their ass chapped about some dumb things. Get the wrong agent and things go full retard in a flash...

Why would ATF care about that? As long as you do the 4473 I wouldn't think they'd care.

They don';t normally but depending on specifics and modalities involved it might be something else they care about.

[Lowbird]

If it was a local ball busting. Why didn't they take the deal that other joint took?
Or they were smithing on non serialized stuff?

Re: split Glock frames / uppers...

I noticed nobody is doing than anymore.

I guess the hammer dropped.

Article claims they're awesome but how can they possibly be as good?

Vegetation diet is not natural nor healthy.

 

[Obie1]

I don't know anything about this, but I can confirm they are good guys.

 

[Sentenza]

If it was the DEA I could see it, because only they are professional enough to handle Glocks, especially the fotay.

I applaud the brave souls who do choose have a gun shop in this state...all the struggle and headaches of a small business with the constant threat of .gov deciding to target you and wipe out your livelihood.

Thanks.

you forgot to mention all the potential customers who get butt hurt cause shops don't sell their guns at online prices or match four seasons deals and then post here about how the prices suck but they bought a 4 dollar bag of cleaning patches to "help keep the lights on" before they left.

 

[searoll923]

How does something like this get prosecuted? I wonder if they'll try to go after customers who bought from there (even though legal)
