Hi guys. I'm from Australia and own a Glock 17A Gen 4 (one after the bugs where fix) I have been shooting since 06 but have in the last year and a half started getting into the full on pistol thing and it has taken me that long to start shooting with my own gun due to our laws . So I hope I fit in with you poeple from the holyland of firearms :p Not sure how many if any other aussies are on here but I hope I can be part for the forum...

Welcome! So are you allowed to conceal carry over there?

No. We are only allowed to use handguns at a range for sporting use. And we must shoot a minimum number of shoots per year in Order to keep our handgun licence. Some farmers and hold a CAT H ( that's what we call our pistol licence here) an only a small few for dispatching live stock but again the handgun must not leave the property it's registered to unless for going to the gunsmith/shop or been handed in to police. No huntin with handguns for us :-(. We are also restricted to barrel length of no less then 12cm for s/a and 10cm for revolver then comes the caliber resections. No cal over .38 unless we shoot metallic silhouette and get a high cal endorsement on our licence. @ happysniper it says made in Austria.

Congradulations on your Glock but sorry there are so many regulations, it is almost like California....
