Milling our current slides will void Glock's warranty and is both cost and time prohibitive; and WHEREAS, the most cost-effective method is to trade in our current handguns to receive credit and purchase new Glock MOS handguns with compatible holsters from LC Action, of San Jose. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby authorize the purchase of 90 Glock 17 Gen5 firearms with Holosun sights and compatible holsters from LC Action, of San Jose, California, in the amount of $95,000.
