If it's completely glock compatible then it's a glock as far as I'm concerned.
1911s don't need a license to be manufactured, Glocks do.
quite so.
But legalities and licences aside...

The Suffolk rifle glock copy's frame hasn't got grip angle 100% correct apart from that it's striker fired (very unusual for .22lr pistol ) or could just have a consealed single action hammer! Thinking about that it wouldn't be striker fired not for a Rimfire replica consealed single action hammer and no real glock parts then it's a clone / copy

I have also been looking at the Glock from Suffolk arms as I have a second slote on my ticket. My only issue is that the Glock is not a factory specification Glock and cannot be called a Glock as they have not agreed. The "Glock" is all 3rd party manufactured parts.
So is it a Glock or not ??!!!
At least the Sig is all Sig and approved by Sig.
How did you justify to plod for wanting two long barrel pistols of the same caliber ??? I thought after dunblane they put a stop to that
One for Open one for Standard division and if doing serious competitions, a spare for each, so that's 4

The lad i shoot with who has a problematic Sig has only been able to contact him through text message. He's still abroad and apparently his email and fax line over here have crashed, hence no longer responding to emails.
(He last got a text from him 8th August so info slightly out of date)

This is not good for businesses he could lose customers over this no contact ! Not even "out of the office until " on his website which you would of thought would be standard practice

Read on another forum that Icon Arms are returning deposits as they can't fulfil orders. Any truth in this?
