I have researched quite a bit about the supposed "state approved" firearms (Glock is listed as approved) and this so called "AG's list" or whatever which I have found much less info on.
Still can't get an answer to a basic question so I will pose it here: Can you or can you not buy a Glock in this stupid state?

This thread is great but does not clear that up for me. I want a Glock 27.
Thank god I have satisfied UT enough that they consider me renting an apt and holding a resident concealed carry permit as being a UT resident. Would have thought they would have made me get a Utah drivers license but nope. Told me to not even bother sending utility bills or anything with the LTC application "just put your UT address on the app, no proof of residency required". And there you have it, I have an in state LTC and the FFL's let me buy handguns there.
I feel bad for those that do not have that option and wonder what I will do when I leave graduate school and may have to go to a non free state for a job
From my conversations with the owner of one of the largest gun shops in MA, the AG's office never says "yes it can be sold." Either they say nothing, or you get a letter in the mail threatening all kinds of legal action for selling an non-compliant gun, unless, of course, you bend over, take it up the kazoo, and sign this compliance agreement.To my knowledge its just a yes it can be sold or no it can be sold by the AG.

Answer: Yes the Glock is approved and on the EOPS list, no it is not approved by the AG. AFAIK there is no "AG LIST." although we often refer to it as a list. To my knowledge its just a yes it can be sold or no it can be sold by the AG. You can only buy or transfer a Glock from an FFL if it was manufactured before October 21, 1998. You can buy any year/model Glock on an FA-10 from another MA resident.
Would the "New York Trigger" qualify as a safety according to their definition?
I didn't realize Glocks were banned in Mass. That is very annoying.
The AG has accepted the ma**h*** as a loaded chamber indicator. It isn't completely clear to anyone other than the AG and Glock specifically why the AG claimed Glocks were non-compliant.What I don't understand is why are Glock's punished due to lack of a loaded chamber indicator, while 1911's such as those from S&W and Para are accepted? The only LCI the S&W has is a peep hole through which one can see the brass.

I think it is because they are scary looking black guns that are used by bad guys in movies and in rap videos.
-Old magazines will not work. New magazines are required to work in the new guns, but will also work in the old guns. All parts and springs, however, will be forwards and backwards compatible
The reason Glock's being "punished" is probably because the former AG who enacted the insane "Safety Act" in the first place, is from Springfield MA. Now, S&W is also from there and they had next to no problem getting their product on the compliant list and out to gun shops. Strange, isn't it.
booo.
Did that quote come from Glocktalk, I don't see the source. I was reading an article last night in Handguns magazine on the 4th gen and they said everything was backwards compatible.
