Since the ban has been lifted I see they have brought these onto the US market.

Any thoughts?

I thought they just didnt market that one here.

How were they affected by the ban?

? IIRC the .380 Glocks the G25 and G28 don't have enough ATF 'import point's to be imported according the the 1968 gun control act. Something that has nothing to do with the 1994 assault weapons ban nor the 'crime' bill.

You will in any buyers guide or website NOT AVAILABLE IN U.S. MARKET it is made for the European police agencies ( small calibre fixation, don't understand ) as well as South America where it is illegal to possess a calibre used by the military or police

That's my understanding as well.

Yup, they're "saturday night specials"

Oh well, they make 9mm/40/357sig in the same size so there's really no reason to get one in 380acp anyway.

you are right.
they just changed where they said not for the US market on the site so I didnt see it.

Why is that?

Absolutely! The .380 is a pathetic round. You run the risk of assuming you are actually armed if you carry a gun in that caliber.

Maybe they sell it in Europe where 9mm is banned as a "military cartridge"? Some european police forces carried .380 acp pistols for years, but their pistols are more "badges of authority over the sheep" than anything expected to be used in a fight, I think.

There are Glock 17s floating around Europe that are 9x21 to meet the ban on military cartridges.

Glocks in .380 don't have enough points per the 1968 GCA to be imported.
