This was a for sale thread and it got mixed up with a “new owner” thread.

That bottom one a L1A1? I had a DSA version many years ago.
So I live in the Constitutional wasteland that is California. I just submitted my CCW application last nite. First available appointment to meet with an investigator is February 14, 2023! Now I live in Riverside County, where our Sheriff is pro 2A all the way. Guess lots of people in this county still want to exercise their rights....

Well, at least you got an appointment! Still waiting for mine, and not holding my breath. Cheers from Alameda County.

There's a big difference between CA counties how CCW applications are handled, before and after Bruen.

A lot of people from outside of California like to label all of California together as one big liberal State. In reality that is not true at all. Huge difference between say SF Bay Area and rural counties close to the Oregon border.

True but us outsiders see a never ending assault on gun owners out there.
Seems like every legislative session you can expect a handful of new gun control laws.
It’d be nice to have state preemption on carry laws (which sadly would probably screw a lot of y’all). Texas and a bunch of states have a state standard. This is the law these are the rules, your license is recognized throughout the state, no incredibly long wait times, no arduous paper chase, not ridiculously expensive, etc.
Heck, Texas even had a license for indigent people!
We went Constitutional Carry but we still have licenses if you want. I renewed mine to have reciprocity in other states.

Have to say, as a new gun owner the complexity of gun regulation is just mind boggling.

I used to be in your shoes back in the early 90’s. New Jersey was passing gun legislation left and right. Firearms Owner’s ID cards, apply for a pistol permit just to purchase a pistol. Having to keep everything locked up and separate from ammo. Concealed carry was a complete impossibility. I had enough and left. Texas and most of the country have none of that garbage. Go into a gun store, put your money down, quick Fed background check and you walk out with the gun of your choice, ammo, mags, etc.
The way it should be!

Don't know, but I do have both a Utah and Arizona out of state CCW and they are 5 years.
CPL or CCW holders from Michigan get AZ CPL/CCW permits in under one month online. Fact!

Thought you guys might find this interesting, below is a youtube video from Austria Arms (an Austrian weapons dealer and supplier to law enforcement, military and the general public).

It's in German, for those of you who don't speak German:

  • It's a limited edition of the Glock 17 generation 5 FDE (flat dark earth), with black slide
  • FDE looks similar to the Glock 19 X, but it is different, somewhat darker
  • Only 20 were manufactured, and they have a individual number (this one: 11/20). Separate from the serial number.
  • They are exclusively available to members of the Austrian Jagdkommando, the Austrian special forces (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagdkommando)
  • The trigger pull was adjusted to 2 kg (4.4 lbs)
  • The magazines are in FDE color as well
  • The front sight is customized: it is made of tritium, which lights up in the dark for targeting the dark
  • Interestingly, the rear sight is the standard U sight not made of tritium, the reason being that having a tritium rear sight would light up in the dark and thus make the carrier of the gun hypothetically visible to the enemy. It's not exactly the same as the civilian rear sight, it is slightly canted.

Since we are in CA I wonder if they have a CA "Special Forces" Edition in Gen 3?

My G17 is OD and I love it. I would like a Glock in FDE. Thank you for sharing.

Nice. I like the FDE/Black combo.
It looks like the FDE color they used before the G19X color. Hopefully it makes its way to the US.

This is a special edition, only for the very elite of the Austrian army.

Not coming to you any time soon.

But aside from the cosmetics, if you look at the specs in detail, technically there are only a few changes from the everyday Glock 17 everyone can buy.

Which is a testament to the versatilty of the Glock 17.

It works for everyone, right out of the box. From Austrian special forces to noobs like me.

Stupid and simple.

Yeah, I know.
I was actually referring to Glock making the Gen 5 in FDE color, the old FDE color.
