FYi,
Anyone interested, I found an ammo dealer, HD Tactical that has a good selection & price and only $9.99 shipping & that includes if you only want 1 box of shells -
I bought a box of Federal Terminal Ascent & the shipping was only $9.99 via FedEx & weekend delivery- I bought it Wednesday and received it this Saturday.
Ammo shipped out of Texas. Fort Worth if not mistaken.
HD Tactical seems like a good outfit.

Greetings, please don't enable me into reading this epic thread in its entirety, cuz I will! Has anyone tried & tested the Glock 47 and would anyone be willing to share their opinion on here? Full disclosure, I'm getting my license just to get my hands on one. Does it come in a 47L?

Why do you need a license to buy a pistol?
Where are you?

There are no reviews for the Glock 47 on this thread.

Hi Mac, I'm in Old Europe which is severely restricted when it comes to firearms licensing. Getting a sports license takes about a year and a couple grand and needs the governor's personal signature to be validated.

I did a retro Larue Tactical build after I got a good deal on a Larue lower. I did go with a PredATAR barrel instead of the traditional stealth barrel to save some weight. Balances pretty good, finding all the older parts was fun, but spendy, and I run quad rails on pretty much all working guns. That 13.2 rail is looong.

Upper assembly was a pain as my suppressor mount didn't clear the inside of the rail after I had already cranked it down... other than that the fit and finish are way above par with this one.

Yeah man, congratulations!
That's super nice 😎
Btw, what trigger did you go with?

Thanks, It has the Larue MBT in there. I have a few others with those and for $100 is hard to beat.
