The gun, as designed, can hold 17-round magazines — two more than the Glock 19. But the NYPD had the manufacturer customize the Glock 17s to carry only 15 rounds so it would be consistent with the interchangeable Glock 19 magazine.
This is the part I liked:
Some idiot actually paid Glock money to put a mag block in so they could use the new mags in the Glock 19s? Holy cow, stupid runs deep in NY!

Especially when G17 17rd mags work just fine in the G19. Ha!
It's the only way the city council would approve the purchase. They did not want to give them guns that were "more deadly" than the ones they already had. Insanity.Most of us pay for larger capacity mags yet they pay to get "customized" lower capacity mags?
That's odd.

Also, why $525 for an officer to buy one? IIRC a G17/19 with night sights is around $450 on the blue label price list. I'd imagine an agency as large as NYPD would get a break on pricing.

"Not everyone has $525 to make a purchase like that" LOL. Now I'm starting to understand why they think anyone with more than 8 guns is a super gun owner
Maybe this explains their 20% hit ratio? I used to think it was just poor trainingThis is the police department that banned Kahr pistols as off-duty or back-up guns because Kahr couldn't or wouldn't make the trigger pull inordinately heavy. The NYPD wanted the extra-heavy trigger pull because that's was the their solution to unintentional discharges.
