[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 3423203, member: 684"] I started my LE career in 1989. I bought my first Glock (a gen2 model 22) in the summer of 1991, so I missed the AWB...then. Fast forward to 1995. I am so sick and tired of the entire cops & robbers life, I turn in badge, sell my gun and vow to NEVER, [I]EVER[/I] do that despicable job again, for as long as I live. Well...after a few short years of office talk, working with spiteful women and the hum of fluorescent lights I reluctantly got back into law enforcement. Just like Larry, my blue label G22 came with three mags, but if I wanted a couple more (and I did) I had to fill out another 4473. About a year or so later, I figured I'd pick up a few more. By now, the Glock 22 was probably the most popular firearm in existence, at least with the LE crowd, and regular Joes were selling the mags for over $100 each! I called Jason at OAS to see if he could send me some more. He said he could only sell me three, and again, another department letterhead AND another 4473 was required. Furthermore, he could only mail them to my agency, NOT my home address. I'm so glad we don't hafta deal with that crap anymore, and I hope it stays thataway. At least for the next 4 years. However, I did kinda capitalize on the ban. I had purchased two Beretta 92F mags for about $15 each and sold em at Wannamakers for $100. The guy saw em, said "how much?" I told him 100 bucks, he threw a C-note at me, snatched up the mags outta my hand and scurried off, disappearing into the crowd. I reckon I shoulda told him 100 bucks each, cause I'm sure that's what he sold em for. [/QUOTE]
