How does a Micro Uzi compare to a Glock 18? Which is better? Also were all Glock 18 machine pistols manfactured after May 1986 (making them virtually illegal to own)?

Thanks!

Neither of them rank very high in the 'controllability' department, from what i've heard, though the Mini Uzi does better than the Glock... the Glock apparently requires quite a bit of getting used to.

I'm pretty sure that all Glock 18s were produced after the ban, as i've only ever seen them in the hands of dealers.

Of course, i've never shot either, so take my opinion for what it's worth.

[CleverNickname]

Even if some G18s did make it in the country before the ban, they'd still be pre-May dealer samples. No foreign machineguns allowed for us peons since the '68 GCA. From what I've heard some G17s were converted before the ban, but they're very rare (number is in the single digits).

So, you want a full auto mini-Uzi do ya? :D :D :D

I'd pick the G18 every time. When they're not behaving like a G18, they behave just fine as the excellent G17. Fit in regular G17 holsters, etc.

If my dealer ever gets hold of a G18, (he is trying to do so) I'll con him into letting me fire it and let you know. I've shot the Uzi and it's a bear!!! :eek:

I shot a Glock 17C, converted by a licensed MG manufacturer, last fall. It was loud due to porting, but not as hard to control as I thought it would be. I have a "relatively educated trigger finger," (RETF) and was able to shoot three round bursts from the Glock pretty easily.

I have no experience with the Mini Uzi.

ACP230 YOU lucky dog that must of been a fun piece to shoot.:what:

Full Auto Glocks look very controllable to me. Judge for yourself, watch the videos!:)

I shot a Glock 18 a few years back, it was a lot of fun although I prefer the mini uzi...

I also did a Stetchkin, that was a little more controllable than the Glock.

Scorpions are real nice.

[rakolman]

there is only 2 g18s in the US . I shot a 21 converted with a folder in i and with out . with out you can not control its with toe folder no problem. convertion kits are easys to make but they are agenseted the law.

[MGshaggy]

Having shot both, I prefer the micro-uzi. The G18 I shot had no stock, but the micro had a solidly locking side-folder on it. RoF is about the same, but the micro is heavier (which helps absorb recoil) and the barrel features compensator cuts to aid in controllability.

gotta go with the uzi because its just better and im jewish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11fcg543Jow

When I was in Israel (where 10% or so of the population carries openly) I did see a couple of Uzis, but I also saw a few glocks with stocks. Now that I think about it, perhaps those were g18s! I asked one guy at the wailing wall what the deal with his stock was, but he wouldn't answer my questions.

Hijack 1: I also loved seeing a few guys with m1 carbines as opposed to m4s... it warmed my heart. But I felt like they were considered "beater" guns, which is kinda wierd since they are in the same price range. I think I would take an m1 over an m4, unless I was in a real war zone... which Israel could become at any moment.

Hijack 2: That said, I think the palestianians deserve a little more respect from the israelis, but that's all I'm gonna say on this forum. That place is all too much like south africa in the 80's. But lets not talk about this any more for fear of threadlock.

[Rossshady120]

i noticed that IDF really doesn't use the UZI atleast not anymore. i saw the national park guys packin mini uzi's on slings. all IDF personal was using m4's, m16's and i saw a couple of FN2000's that really got my eye but they were so damn beat. we had a armed guard with a m1 but it looked like it was from d-day

[Eyesac]

I've only shot a G18 once, but was very impressed w/ the manageability of recoil. That said, both can be had w/ a stock on the end, but one will fit in a IWB holster and the other will not. I'd take a G18...

[Evil Monkey]

If a firearm is to be used as a concealed weapon, needed to be deployed in an emergency as quickly as possible in an unforeseen situation, there is NO WAY the Micro Uzi could compete with the Glock 18.

The firearm needs to be as small and concealable as possible if discretion is a major priority. The Glock 18 is far easier to holster and manipulate than the Micro Uzi, thus the Glock would naturally be easier to deploy in urgency. The Glock is obviously far more ergonomic as well.

The Micro Uzi is completely inferior in comparison.

[rfurtkamp]

It's an apple v orange comparison - one is a full-auto handgun, the other is a submachinegun.

The Uzi will not win in concealment, but will in terms of accuracy, portability (if Glock has the stock attached), and durability.

I honestly see no point in something with the G18's cyclic without a stock except as a range toy.

That said, my vote in this is neither - I have a fullsized Uzi and in the 'micro' category prefer my Vector MP5k-PDW clone.
