IMHO, I would have to say that I don't think that because a directive exists that you can presume that all existing police magazine safeties have been clipped... Some of this model may have been sold commercially and would therefore escape the armorer's hacksaw and file...

and you probably can't find the quote because the collector who made it deleted it several months ago.. <img border="0" alt="[crying]" title="" src="graemlins/crying.gif" />
