To full fde glock or not to full fde glock....

[Fordtough25]

That's just a pic I grabbed off the interwebs

Copy, and while the FDE is nice, I dig it, the black would be better for a cheaper budget for sure. Steel sights then ammo ammo ammo. And a few more mags too. If you have plenty of spare coin I would get the FDE.

If you can't get OD Green, stick with black.

In Post #10, the pictured FDE Glock looks like a Milk Chocolate treat. That was my first reaction. My opinion may change after I have a taste. :>)

 

[WebSnyper]

I like my Glocks big and black.





















Wait, that didn't come out right...

Wow, just ... wow.

To the OP, the FDE is not of interest to me. I'd go with the stock OEM black, and use the extra $$ to pick up night sights, ammo, extra mags, holster, in whichever order you need them most.

I'd go with black. I don't think glock's should come in any other color.

I like colored ones. I have g 19 gen 3 with od green frame. I think it is bad ass. I looked at the full fde gen 4's. If one would have popped up while I was in the market I would of bought one. I'm happy I got the one I did. First glock for me and I love it. Would love to find a 26 in od green.

You need the Stormtrooper glock

Maybe some other stormtrooper white...

I won't lie, those are sexy Cerakote or duracoat?

 

[TaunTaun]

I know the top one was Duracoat. Not sure about the bottom one.

Very cool.

Those look very cool! I have a sheet of white kydex with a stormtrooper image on it that's begging to be a holster for that!

 

[redwingshooter]

I agree with most everyone else, go black because it's cheaper. You can always pay to have the slide ceracoated FDE if you decide that's what you really want.

 

[cerebus85]

Go black and have more mags or sights or whatever have you. Fde won't help you train or need to blend in to anything

 

[cmkaehr]

I'm most likely going to heed ingo's advice. Meeting with the seller of the black one tonight. I suppose another advantage of buying the black one is I won't be hesitant so go after it with my soldering iron!

 

[wtburnette]

Good luck

Did you get it? ... and please don't kill it with a bad stipple job. No issues with a good stipple job, but the bad ones, well you know them when you see them.

Hopefully picking it up this evening. Last night fell threw. If I do try stippling it I'm going to try following bore sight solutions pattern. They're work is amazing, but I'm to cheap to send it to them!

Go on gun broker. For like $550 everything (tax, transfer, fees, all of it) you can have a fde or odg frame glock. Do gen 4 also. Much better feeling handgun. And it comes with as many magazines as you will ever need. Ever. (3) I don't like the full fde ones. Just the frame ones. It'll always be worth more than regular glock also. I wouldn't do night sights.. But that's just me.

Used gen 4 glocks shouldn't be more than $400. Ever.

Personally I have odg frame gen 4 17.

 

[cmkaehr]

Well the guy backed out after running me around for a half hour. So I'm back on the hunt. If anyone in the Fort Wayne area knows a Peter Blake, tell him I said thanks for nothing!

Really, 3 magazines is all you will ever need? Really? No, that can't be what you really said.

Mags are consumables. Buy OEM, Buy Many, Buy Often when you find them for a good price.

Also, no night sights? You don't hear that very often.
