The Glock 18c has been out there for a long time. Most avid Glock shooters should be at least aware of the weapon though I seriously doubt of most of us will ever get a chance to fire one. Thanks for the Vid.

Larry believes there is one and I believe Larry.

 

 

 

Plus I have shot one at one of our machine gun matches in Ohio.

Is Larry talking about the Glock 18 which certainly has been out there a long time or the "c"?

I’m always leery of anyone who claims to be an “expert.” Every firearms aficionado (and I’m lucky enough to know a few true aficionados between auction houses, writers, etc) that I’ve conversed with usually understates their expertise but they’ll forget more in a day than I’d know in a lifetime.

Where did you get to shoot the Glock 18? I would love to shoot one.

I was one of the Range Officers for our twice yearly machine gun shoots. The guys that brought stuff were very friendly about letting us shoot them.

A great time was had by all.  I have shot everything from an American 180 in .22 to a 14.5 mm Russian anti-tank gun at $100+ per round at no cost.

Guys that have this stuff were very greatful for the club hosting the matches as it gave them somewhere to shoot. They would actually say to the RO’s, “ Here, try this one”.

The American 180...……………………..darn, I had almost forgotten about that .22 auto.  I've heard it could eat it's way through a car door on one drum mag. Don't know if that is true or not but it was a pretty cool firearm.

Back when it was pretty new and they mounted some inside briefcases, there was a series of photos showing an American 180 chew up a cinderblock with one drum.
