Interesting blog post. Claims that Glock is backordered 1.2 million guns, which is nearly a year of 100% production at all three factories.

Glock backordered 1.2 MILLION firearms

I'd have asked if those are civilian orders, LEO, or DHS.

Saw this earlier, if this is true I say we nominate Obummer and Biden for gun salesmen of the year, and for the last four as well.

I still see Glocks in plentiful supply at local LGS.
And they don't seem to be price gouged either.
With something like 50/60% of LE using Glocks I wonder if the back-order has to do with Federal, State and local replacement of service weapons?

Obummer has definitely sold more weapons and ammo than any single individual I can think of.
Having everyone re-evaluate their stance on gun ownership.
And how much they value the second amendment.
Seems like a silver lining to all of this.

For a regime apparently desirous of disarming the people, the whole gun ban thing seems to have been a major tactical blunder.

Pretty much like everything else they attempt.

+1 on that Bawanna. Reminds me of the gang that couldn't shoot straight. Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Reid, Feinstein, Schumer, et al.

The only Glocks I have seen around here for the past 6 months have been very well used police trade in's.

Here, G19s sell as soon as they land. Other models are more readily available.

Around here, none of the 9mm models are ever available. Seeing 10mm, .45, .45 acp/gap, but 9mm is gone the second they hit the display. G19 are non existent, G17 and G26 show up every couple weeks.

in my neck of the woods there's always a glock "something", a few KelTecs, and a ton of Taurii available in every shop. We have more trouble trying to find good handguns around here.

Our LGS Shooters has a whole bunch of everything, but they didn't have the G19 that I wanted a few weeks ago. I was in there today and tried to count the Kahrs in the case... upwards of 40! That didn't include the used ones!

All I bought was a small Glock mag holder for 9/40 double stacks... $11.99 + tax... under $13 out the door. I did notice that a few things that were on sale the last time... hundreds of S&W 15/22's were no longer $399.99 but $529.99 and the once $949.99 .223 version was a few hundred more... at least.

I'm just so happy that I got my sight installation tools from the Glock Store today. Now I can install mine. I watched their video on the Sight Pusher yesterday, so I'm ready to go tomorrow. I just enjoyed a 2010 bottle of Barons de Rothschild (Lafitte) Bordeaux... not too chère at only $13.99... from Total Wine. it went well with my large salad and leftover medium rare tenderloin.:hungry:

Sigh... such austerity...

I stopped in at the local police supplier in Indy last week to see what Glocks they had in. They had 6-7 Glocks in the display case. Got to talking to one of the ladies and she said they were backordered over a hundred guns and over a 1000 magazines and had no idea when they would be getting any orders in. When I ordered some magazines from Glock last month, I got a phone call fron a lady telling me they had stopped selling guns and magazines to armours unless they were military or LE, was I either? told her I was retired LE she told me to fax her a copy of my retired ID and she would get the magazines shipped out to me. Had them about a week later.

Guess I'm lucky in Tampa.
Shooting World had a wall of ARs again.
And stock of just about any standard handgun you might want.
Prices have climbed for sure and mag are less plentiful.
The real shortage in my neck of the woods continues to be ammo.
Local and web based supply is non-existent or highly over priced.

I keep thinking I need to buy more guns and ammo.
But the truth is I'm in very good shape right now.

I'm only shooting range ammo and not mine at this point.
Guess it's time to wait and watch.
See how this mess is going to unfold.

Aside from 0bamacare and bankrupting the country, you mean?
