Where have all used Glock 17's gone?

[Sniper 79]

Two reasons. If someone has one they love it and will never let it go.

Other reason is they are now old and collectable. People pay big money to add them to their collection especially if they have any police roll marks.

The model 17 is the original Glock.

The ONLY Glock that ever fit my hand and felt comfortable was the original Gen 1. I know they are very rare, so I have been on the lookout for a beat-up Gen 2 that I can modify. I had a Gen 2 Glock 23 for many years and it kinda fit my hand. I sold it when I consolidated calibers and got rid of all my .40 stuff. If I had kept it, it would have been modified to better fit my hand.

The Gen 3 and Gen 4 absolutely do not feel comfortable to me. They are nice looking pistols, and because of this, I would have a very hard time using a sander to smooth out the grip. Especially on a new $500 pistol.

I am not on the book of faces, so that option is out. My next stop will be to post a WTB thread. I was just curious why a couple of years ago, we seemed to be awash in used Glocks and now, they are very hard to come by?

I sold a Gen 2 19 and a Gen 2 23 last year at a gun show. They didn't stay on the table very long. I had already upgraded all my Glocks to Gen 3's. Can't stand the Gen 4's. I can see the love for a Gen 2, they feel very nice in the hand.

I'd say your best bet would be gunbroker, arfcom exchange, or wait on Lady Luck. Gen 2 pistols don't sit around much, find a g22 and grab a conversion barrel.

There's a Glock 17, gen 4, listed on armlist today.

I just picked up a police trade-in Gen 2 G17 from AIM Surplus a few weeks ago. I had been on a lookout for one for a little while and apparently had selected "notify me when I'm stock" who knows how long ago. A few weeks ago, I was just minding my own business out to dinner with a couple friends and I happened to look at my email to show one of them an old message, and lo and behold, an AIM email. Had no idea what it was about, but it said "your recent product inquiry" so it caught my attention. Bought it on the spot that evening, and they were sold out when I checked again at noon-ish the next day.

Not it to rub it in, but so far, it's been awesome! Pretty decent condition as well. The gun shop said it was nicer than any of the trade-ins he'd seen through his shop lately.

Funny, because to me the gen 4 Glock is the only one that feels like a real gun. It's mature. The other ones just feel like crap to me. Even the gen 3s (which I have) and comparing it to the gen 4.. It's like the gun progressed 20 years.. And 100 year progression from the gen 1 and 2s. Everyone has their own preferences and reasons though. Not knocking yours. Just saying.

Would love to find a nice clean gen one 17, with the Tupperware case.

 

[Double T]

AGS had a used gen 2 for 317. Almost bought it. Glad I didn't because I got myself an MOS 19 about a week later.

 

[OVERTHEHILLGUY]

Used Glocks in good condition sell quickly.

 

[Brandon]

I bought a gen 2 G17 about 3 or 4 years ago for $350.
It won't be leaving any time soon.

 

[Sniper 79]

If given the choice Gen 4 is the way

 

[IndyGlockMan]

I just scored a gen2 19 with good night sights for $360.
The deals are out there...

 

[Skullglide]

I just checked the safe, my gen 1 with 5 character serial # and proof marks is still hanging out. That is one gun I will never let go

what are the first 2 letters of the serial??
Always interesting looking up the production date of those early G17's

 

[Skullglide]

CP. It was a police trade in from keislers I bought it in 1997 when I worked in a gun shop here in town. It has a retention holster mark on the slide. Finish ha a good patina. I have well over 25,000 rounds out of it. Runs like a champ.

I was originally looking for a Gen 2 G19 but everyone was wanting $450 or so for them, I was not going to pay over $400 for one. I ended up buying a new Gen4 G19 from our local LE Glock Dealer for the Blue Label price of $455 with night sights. I could not get myself to pay for a Gen 2 for the price I could get a Gen 4.

Is there still sales tax on top of the Blue Label price?

 

[Skullglide]

Yes blue label is still taxed.
