I emailed Glock about a possible G25 purchase and got the following info today.

"This pistol and the G25 is only available to Law Enforcement Agencies, paid with public monies. It is not available to individual officers.

I am including the law for your information..

.380 ACP

The .380 ACP models are primarily intended for markets which prohibit civilian ownership of firearms chambered in military calibers such as 9x19mm Parabellum. They are not offered in the United States, due to the characteristics of the gun making it unable to pass import restrictions.[55]
