My three .40s were bought used (HK USP 40, Sig P226, Early Gen4 Glock 22). I bought my Gen4 G-21 new from the latest shipment that my LGS had received from Glock.
The H&K always runs great the way I bought it. The Sig needed a Hogue Monogrip put on it to help control the snappy recoil. I also needed some gunsmith work to get it to run reliably. The Early Gen4 G-22 needed the ejector upgrade and also had a little gunsmith tune to get it to run really good. But I now have more in this used Gen4, then a new Gen4 would have cost in the first place. The Gen4 G-21 has been a winner since day one, I would not change a thing on it the way I first took it out of the box, it shoots great with cheaper, dirty Tula ammo that I will only shoot in .40 out of the G-22.
On future gun purchases I think I'm better off going with new & cheaper guns in warranty rather than used & expensive pieces that I need to pay my gunsmith to get right. I feel like I would need about a $75.00 discount off my next used gun purchase, to cover the cost of having it thoroughy gone over by my gunsmith. What are your experiences?
