What pawn shops do you go to where you find guns like that? All the pawn shops I've been to around BR carry the crap (Lorcin, Hi-point, Jennings).

The Steyr SPP is evil and a good gun for what it is! I used to have one. I put it on consignment at a local gun store right around when the AWB ended.
Please take some advice. The SPP has no stock, which doesn't make it very practical. Buy a Colt AR 9mm 6540 or maybe even one of the RRA versions that are coming out. You will enjoy it a whole lot more! If you're buying it for the collector value, then I guess I'd say go for it. I know the AWB ending has nothing to do with the SPP's availabilty. Scott |

Would that be considered an import ban item? |

I have never seen a pawn shop with inventory I would consider buying. Same with musical instruments and other items, junk.
I go to gun shops to buy guns. |

Probably would have steered clear of anything AMT. The G17, Delta Elite, and Kimber were great choices.

The problem with the Delta Elite, as explained to me by AJohnston,is the poor barrel fit. If the barrel was fit properly, apparently, frame damage would not occur. Some are fit right, some are not. YMMV.

Un-evil version of the quite awesome Steyr TMP Edit: I don't know why the TMP was considered so evil, simply by veritue of a much larger mag and a vert foregrip, but it was.

The Steyr TMP is a sub machinegun The SPP (semi auto) can use 30 round mags, but can not have a vertical grip because it would be a NFA item. Just like a HK SP89 can not have a the vertical "K" grip without paying the NFA tax.

A REAL Steyer TMP is a hoot to shoot, but otherwise not really good for a whole lot. The European attitude toward police officers or military troops is still pretty much the same as it has always been...namely that they are cannon fodder for the "elite' (some French Police officers patrol on rollerblades now, for God's sake!) and that ANY firearm will do, since most bad guys are not armed with them at all.
I have a friend who is a well known and very well respected German Polizi Canine trainer and handler with many, many...did I say MANY?...serious arrests to his credit over more than 20 years, who does not even know what type long guns his station has on hand if things go in the shitter. (we finally figured out they were G1's in 7.62x51...he has never fired one and neither have any of the officers at his station that he is aware of...he is not ex-military) He last fired his H&K 9mm about two years ago for qualification...30 rd...and is completely unconcerned about that! |
