US made glock or not?

[hpdad]

Where do you find the BOD (Born-on Date)?

I have several new Blue-box Glocks.

Thanks.

I think it can be found on the small yellow envelope.

Now, how to find on the XD9? Mine doesn't come with the envelope with the fired cartridge.

Only about 75 USA Glocks have been sold here. Rare indeed.

can you please tell me where you are getting this stat from? I happen to own one of these (gen 4 G19 made in the USA) that was purchased in Nov 2012. I have a hard time believing I was so lucky to pick up 1 of just 75 sold in the state. Thanks

Neither CA-DOJ nor Glock are being very talkative about this USA/Austria manufactured thing. The Roster page does have red-lettered advice that USA made Glocks are not on the Roster.

I suspect DOJ is not buying Glock's 'It's the same thing' assertion under 32030(b)(3)

(3) A statement, under oath, that each unlisted firearm for which
listing is sought differs from the listed firearm only in one or more
of the ways identified in subdivision (a) and is in all other
respects identical to the listed firearm.

and may be requiring testing under 32030(c)

(c) The department may, in its discretion and at any time, require
a manufacturer to provide to the department any model for which
listing is sought under this section, to determine whether the model
complies with the requirements of this section.

Some Glock FRAMES have been made the US for awhile now. My Gen 3 G17 (2010 manufacture) has a US frame and Austrian slide and barrel. Since the frame is the firearm why would where the slide is made make a difference? Oh wait, this is CA our gun laws have never made sense.....

Here is a pic of my US made glock for those wondering what the roll mark looks like. My understanding is that glock has been making guns in the US for a few years if not longer now but they were strictly for export to countries like the Philippines and others that don't have trade agreements with Austria. They have only recently started selling US made glocks in the US (maybe towards the middle to end of last year).

have seen this several time in the last couple of weeks.

My guess is gun store employees just want to sell what ever they have in stock and discourage people from wanting to wait. We'll see, but that's my guess.

You dont have to agree with it. im just passing on info I got from 2 LGS's...

Well you should stop repeating it.

Consider the source. 99% of the FUD exposed on this forum are told over gun store counters. What your LGS is confused about is the ferritic nitrocarborizing process (tenifer finish) applied to Glock slides. The EPA outlawed the chemicals used in that process decades ago. So, it'll be interesting to see how the US made slides stand up to corrosion and wear in the coming years.

Update.... I purchased a 36 online that's good to go. Thanks to the information here. There wasn't much information about this USA/Austria thing. No thanks to the local gun stores that spoke of a crazy, horrible! Future. A future where T-800's roam, and Glocks are no longer sold in CA.

Now I just need to find out were I can SSE a gen4 23 (orange county area). Seems like allot of places up north do SSE...

Talk to Mike at OC ARMORY. He does plenty of SSE. Good guy as well.

And you are a reliable source...Please.
We can all speculate what is going on but so far there are non to be found..
And non on the Ca roster.. SO you call it what you want.

I work in a LGS, the source is the DOJ, those shops are wrong.

And yes we have more Glocks coming in next, I pre-sold two Gen 4's yesterday.

Exactly, but I suspect their ultimate goal is to make them pay the piper for more testing that won't pass without the lci and mag disco or to just make it difficult for scary evil Glocks to be sold here.

Did you not read librarian above? It's not BS, the USA roll marked Glocks are excluded from the doj's roster. You can look for yourself.

I should have quoted post #3 that I was actually referring too.

"Wow I wonder why most shops in my area (Orange County) Say their not planning on getting any more Glocks. A guy at Field time told me over the phone that, "we won't ever see Glocks in CA again". ?

There have been several of those threads lately.

Not sure you can rely on the frame marking. Here is a 1999 model with both:

Same thing on my 2009 G19
