GLOCKS ARE BACK!
Glock has recently issued a New Contract with Ring’s Manufacturing Inc. (BLUEGUNS) to manufacture Glock Blueguns as we have been doing for the past 10 years. This new contract states that Glock restricts the sale of Glock Blueguns to the Public. We are restricted to selling Glock Blueguns to the Police, Military, Trainers, Police Distributors, or Holster Manufacturers. We ask that our customers abide by these rules and refrain from offering Glock Blueguns to the Public on the Internet, Publications or General Catalogs. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your support.

WTF? What in God’s name would make Glock restrict the sale of a truly inert piece of plastic to the general population?

Really? No Blueguns for you! [/soup nazi voice]

Are they afraid that one will accidentally go off by itself if someone who is not an Only One touches it?

It is a shame I do not like Glocks. Otherwise I'd write them and tell them I'd never buy anything from them because of this decision.

stay safe

It is a shame I do not do anything that involves Blueguns. Otherwise I'd write them and tell them I'd never buy anything from them because of this decision.

Not surprising from Glock, not in the least.

One day when people are able to get replicas, airsoft trademarked from S&W, Sig, Walther, and even Colt, it will bite them in the arse.

Airsoft people are already PO'd at Glock. What happens when these teens turn 21 and go to the local dealer? Will their desire to have what they have been denied draw them to Glock, or will they stay brand loyal?

I guess Customs will now have to search Cargo containers for poly training guns from China.

Well, "real" Glocks seem to "go off by themselves" seemingly far more often than any other brand of real gun, sooo, ya never know about a Glock product, no?
