02/02/2004 - Glock Pistol Converted To Automatic Firing

Gang members in Florida and California have been converting Glock pistols to have fully automatic firing capabilities. In regions of California, police are treating any Glock they encounter as a fully automatic firing weapon.

Conversion is fast and simple requiring no technical expertise. The Glock part involved is the slide cover plate. The original Glock slide cover plate is made of polymer but the bootleg piece is made of steel. By simply switching these plates, which takes less than 15 seconds to do, the conversion is complete.

On the modified Glock the polymer edge of the trigger housing mechanism, which sits forward of the cover plate, has to be partially cut away. It is apparent without having to remove the slide plate that a significant amount of material has been cut away, leaving a large void visible through the notch.

Finding a Glock modified in this manner should be considered a clear indication that the weapon has been altered to function in a fully automatic mode.

Assume all gangs across the country are aware of this simple conversion and approach with extreme caution.

Well that will just make those glocks less effective. The cops should be rejoicing. It takes quite a bit of practice to do well with a machine pistol.

I doubt the gang bangers are going to go practice their tactical full auto drills.

I remember reading this memo in my LE daze about '98. Only 6 six years old. Not bad for THR. Now we need posts about bears with full auto Glocks.

Hey, it was just posted on policeone.com. I thought it was news.

Just kidding.

Std single shot fire ..... WAY more dangerous in even partly skilled hands.

Whereas ... ''BRRRPPPP'' .... is a quick waste of ammo - if a tad intimidating!

This reminds me of back when the nation was so worried about terrorist attacks. News reporters would go and expose holes in security or even suggest possibilites for terrorists...

Its mighty nice for them to tell them it can be done easy and basicly what to modify

sounds scary to me...hot flying lead is still hot flying lead. I think that it is cool in a "woah that was amazing" kind of way just because I think full auto would be cool to shoot, but it is scary that dirt bags are doing this. I hope they can stop it.

To put an end to all this Glock would just have to mold a chunk of steel into the rear part of the lower frame where you need to cut the polymer away. Aren't these ghettofied full-auto Glocks dangerous? They are basically slam firing on full-auto. I think the design for some of those replacement backplates just has a piece of metal that holds the firing pin forward so it is always sticking out.

Considering that the Modern Gangsta Technique involves canting the weapon at a ridiculous angle, a full-auto Glock would be very good news for the potential victim.

Innocent bystanders, however, would be well advised to seek hard cover ASAP.

full-auto glock

A more complex select-fire addition was patented. As a result, you can get the patent drawing, schematics and discussion on how it works. In short, build it yourself. I found it on-line no problems.
