Several branches of the Austrian Executive use the Glock 18 today.It was originally developed at the request of the Austrian counter-terrorist unit EKO Cobra
The Glock 18 doesn't have a forward grip and is not designed for one. It has a dust-cover-rail for lights. Some aftermarketers make grips for that rail, but the rail wasn't built for that, so these grips are pure nonsense (as you can see on the video above).That's the forward grip that was formerly attached to the Glock.
he told me 2 G18's were made/slipped in under/or otherwise legal per the 1986 law. I forget his exact wording.
Completely false. There is no Glock 18 that was made before 1986. The weapon wasn't designed yet nor even in a prototype. Furthermore, the Glock 18 (all of them) are made outside the country, therefore subject to the GCA of 1968 which banned imported machine guns for civilian possession. Only SOTs and government/LE can possess them.My last purchase was from a class 3 dealer. FWIW, he told me 2 G18's were made/slipped in under/or otherwise legal per the 1986 law. I forget his exact wording.
According to him one was made available some time ago and brought over $150,000. Dunno if its tue but thought I'd share.
