Glock to sell 30,000 pistols to Iran. WFT???

In the wake of the uproar over the sale of Steyr .50 caliber rifles to Iran, imagine that Glock (last week) just inked a deal to sell 30,000 pistols . . . to the very same Iranian agency that bought the Steyr rifles!

From the article:

VIENNA, Austria: Austrian authorities have approved the export of 30,000 handguns to Iran, local media reported Friday, days after a report that sophisticated Austrian rifles were finding their way into the hands of Iraqi insurgents.

Austrian media reported the pistols had been sold to Iran's interior ministry, which is in charge of the police force.

Austrian economic ministry officials told state radio that their ministry had approved the sale of the "Glock" pistols last month, saying Iranian authorities had provided documentary evidence that they would not be passed on to others.

Flippin dirtbags...

Great :evil:

GAH and i liked glock!!!!

For f sakes....

I guess the one i have is the first and last one i'll ever buy.... hrmm springfield XD's are lookin nice right now :P

does that mean the end of importation of glock?

or do they make that crap here now?

Maybe they're sending them Glock 9mm's?

You know, less than lethal weaponry...

[roll]

:mrgreen:

Well, that leaves a Glock out of my arsenal. I love my XD40 even more now....
Grandma Glock got sold today by the company because it wanted more money.....

I also have a XD40 Tac liked it so much I got the 40SC. I think the glock needs to go.

The link to the article is not working. Has this been confirmed? I did a quick Google search and only turned up other forums. If we can confirm this we need to contact them and oppose it. If it does turn out to be true, I will be selling my Glock.

shall we write a letter to glock? I'll be writing a nasty gram to steyr.
