IMPD Shooting Glock Switch

[BiscuitsandGravy]

Hickock45 made a number of YouTube videos several years ago in which he had an FFL licensed friend/acquaintance bring a Glock 17 with switch and then a Glock 18 with a pile of 33-round mags to his range. He could control it some, mostly shooting 3-4 round bursts -- using both hands, but nowhere near semi-auto. He's a highly experienced competitive shooter. I've little doubt he also did quite a bit of practice with them before shooting and editing his videos. Following his channel off and on is where I first saw a Glock Switch. Didn't think much of it at the time . . . and then I started seeing news reports about in the hands of gang-bangers several years ago in 2018 or 2019. Deja vu kicked in with the videos I'd watched on his channel.

I had personal experience handling an M14A1 and an M16A1 reliably firing in 3-round bursts. Took a magazine or two on the range as it is an acquired skill with trigger timing. You aimed slightly low and let the muzzle rise. You weren't going to drill them all into a 2 MOA circle or anything close to one. Getting all three onto a 2/3 silhouette at 25 meters was doable.

Glock 17+Glock Switch -- about 5-6 years ago -- IIRC on supervised loan from NC Silencer.




Glock 18 -- a year or two ago -- supervised loan from Silencer Central. His first video with it resulted in a broken slide near the end.

There is a reason they call it the 'giggle switch'.

And it gets sillier.

OMG, that is some ********!!
So what are the rules on tiktok? I refuse to download or check that app out. I have enough spamware on my phone and laptop.

Having read through the whole thread, I'm left with two questions:
How many full-auto rounds can a standard glock handle before it can't?
Are the criminals doing extended mag full auto dumps stealing their ammo? I realize their profession allows them to get their money for nothing and their chicks for free, but that's a lot of ammo whether bought or stolen.

Glock G18 is sold as a select fire pistol it’s just a G17 select fire.

Used mainly in the EU with a rate fire of 1,200 rpm!

Whats an "AUSA"?

Whats an "AUSA"?

Assistant U.S. Attorney I believe.

 

[freedomenthusiast100]

LMAO someone used the term "assault pistol" here. I agree full heartedly with the fact that police resources are far over stretched but with the ease of manufacturing nowadays and the availability of information relating to such it is an unwinnable cause to police weapons properly.

Lol. You'd have a better chance of that being true under Trump. That was the brief period when you could get one guy/one gun crimes in because for all his faults he did push the AUSAs to file on gun toting criminals. Now, as in right now today, we could hand them several people dealing multiple switches still under investigation or already going through state courts but the AUSA has zero interest because it's too small potatoes.

I believe you in that is generally true, but look at this case.
Guy was arrested of may of last year with a firearm and weed. Feds pressed federal charges.

Ban on marijuana users owning guns is unconstitutional, U.S. judge rules

A federal judge in Oklahoma said that the government could not argue that the "mere status as a user of marijuana" justified stripping a person of their "fundamental right to possess a firearm".

If the "switch" gives you a cyclic rate of the Glock 18, the whole neighborhood is in danger. Without a stock that 1000 rpm would spray everywhere.

With a lot of in-experienced firearm gang-bangers, the 'spray-n-pray' response is part of their mantra anyhow!!!

The best people in the world that's what they are, and the more levels I get the better they are.

In a report released this month, the ATF said it collected five times as many machine gun conversion parts between 2017 and 2021 than it did between 2012 and 2016.

Wonder what these are?

Drop-in full auto sears for the AR15 platform and the Glock switches. Those are what we are seeing more of. Glock switches are the vast majority though.

You mean the cell phone stands? My client has presbyopia and further inquiry is a HIPPO violation.

Collected “in the field/crime scene” or intercepted enroute via post office etc?

This is an important distinction.


Unless you are trying to obfuscate just how dangerous these are(n't).

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Either or both.

Almost a daily trend...Glocks (.40 and 9mm) with switches and 30rd mags. Almost as common as the Glocks, AR's. Pistols and rifles, .223 and .300 blackout Now with brass catchers installed. Rare they are reported as stolen.

Silver lining...people are still using .40 and .300 Blackout.

We've been seeing a lot of 10mm Glocks lately, with and without switches.
