Love it. I can...
Love it. I can literally fit it in my T-shirt pocket but with a clip draw I can easily clip it anywhere but it's usually tossed in my Patagonia sling. Light as a feather and obviously packs a punch; with buffalo bore ammo.

Eats anything I've...
Eats anything I've shot so far, including FMJ round nose reloads. It's a mini Glock, what do you expect?! Concealability and minimal recoil is a great combination for a perfect CCW. 3 o'clock IWB or pocket carry is slick and easy. Although 380 isn't the optimal caliber, the ease of carrying this Glock is better than not carrying at all. Thanks again to Buds for fast shipping even during the holiday rush!

A: Hi Dustin, just add to your cart - Select Checkout - Select your FFL - Select Checkout option "Layaway" - Select checkout method for min of 20% down payment - Once down payment is made your layaway is complete. Within the 90 day period you can pay little by little or all at once at the end. (Remember check/e-check/Money Order or ACH Bank Draft gets the cash price. Credit/Debit Cards add 3%). You can pay little by little or all at once anytime during the 90 day layaway period.
Author: James G.
A: Layaway is a payment option at checkout. Its 20% down payment (about $84) and 90 days to pay it off. Make regular payments or just one big one at the end (its up to you how you pay). If you decide to cancel it, there is a 10% fee. If you go past 90days, they keep your money and your gun. So don't let it expire.

Q: Is this allowed for shipment to my local FFA dealer?
Author: Daniel B.
(3) ANSWERS
A: Unfortunately this is not on the California state roster. So sadly this one will not ship to California. No American made Glocks can ship to California. And no modern handgun without a safety will be approved either. The diqualifing factor on the Glocks is because they have no manual safety.
Author: Jason T.
A: I live in CA too. Unfortunately no gen 4 Glock (made in USA) are legal here. Gen 3 made in Austria only, or earlier.
