Zoogster, You'er just a little off on your info
I don't see anything inaccurate I was saying. Bad guys are using exactly what law abiding citizens are, particularly the carry market. The time to crime of many guns means what was most popular some years ago will be the most common with criminals getting them second hand.
The types used by people for concealed carry with higher capacity are exactly what the bad guys want because they are capable and easy to conceal. As I said plenty of larger guns are also made use of with higher capacity because they obtain them during their criminal thefts robberies and burglaries, but you know they will prefer what is concealable and has high capacity and is good for being in a gun fight and winning against others with guns shooting back.
What info was innaccurate?
Glocks were one of the most common carry guns particularly a decade ago before a lot of manufacturers started making many models specifically for concealed carry, and are still quite popular. Being the most common handgun magazine type is likely a plus for criminals, but also is a strong selling point for many law abiding citizens too with many handguns or pistol caliber carbines that use glock magazines being purchased precisely because they use glock magazines.
Which is exactly what you would expect with a time to crime average of 9-10 years per the ATF.
A lot of guns popular about 7-10 years previous that are suited both for concealed carry and being in a gunfight with other armed individuals.
Giving some time after said thug or criminal group obtains it before it ends up in law enforcement possession linked to a crime which could be anything from 1-5 years.
Most common threads and people wanting guns are 'what gun does X best for the lowest cost'. With a smaller percent looking for the top quality first. Meaning the bad guys and the most common firearm owner are also buying the same thing. Not the top of the line, but reliable concealed carry pistols that will not be seen when worn with regular attire, suitable for being in a gun fight without running out of ammo before it is over.
So all you really see in the list is a regional snapshot of exactly what law abiding citizens preferred some years prior in the area they were obtained.
Exactly my point in the previous post. Criminals and law abiding citizens now seek firearms with almost identical features, as concealed carry did not used to be the primary driving force of handgun manufacturing and purchases, but now is. Going small and inexpensive used to mean .22, .25, .380, and often mass produced by inexpensive manufacturing processes less suited to more powerful calibers by companies that made mediocre firearms.
Today the market is flooded with similar dimension firearms with higher capacity and more effective calibers meeting exactly those same criteria built by better manufacturers, because those are the criteria and selling points to the concealed carry crowd. So what is a perfect gun to win a self defense gunfight, meaning first to win you have the gun with you, not someplace else because it was too big or uncomfortable to carry, and second it has enough power and rounds to get through the problem without the limiting factor being the tool, is exactly what the bad guys seek in a handgun too. Many bad guys are not going full scale war with eachother, that brings down a lot of heat and shuts down or interferes with their drug related business. Which is exactly why long guns often preferred for full offense and certainly still obtained in plenty of burglaries at a similar rate to handguns by thugs and organized crime, are still represented in very few murders a year. They are instead robbing others or defending themselves from robbery when the shooting starts and then takes place with the handguns they are carrying concealed.
