The Mobile County Sheriff's Office, on Wednesday, demonstrated for the local media the impact a Glock switch has on a handgun.
Updated: Oct. 02, 2024, 4:13 p.m.David Robinson has been a firearms safety instructor for 24 years and is about as skilled at using a firearm as anyone within the Mobile County Sheriff’s Department.
The Sheriff’s Office, amid a statewide push for a new law banning trigger activators – commonly called Glock switches – hosted a media event Wednesday to illustrate the danger of altering a handgun into a weapon that has the capability to fire off 1,200 rounds per minute, or 20 rounds in a second. Their usage has soared in recent years. From 2017-2021, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives recovered 5,454 conversion devices. That represented a 570 percent increase over the previous five-year period.
Simpson noted that law enforcement throughout Alabama – sheriffs, police chiefs, and district attorneys – support adding state penalties against anyone caught with a Glock switch.
