The pricey Glock

tightgroup tiger said:

I guess I don't understand what make an old used Glock worth any more that an old use Ruger SR9 or Smith & Wesson M&P.
I've never understood this with guns that aren't rare or special.
The 17 did have an almost indestructible finish on them according to Glock and boasted that you could drop them in a creek and pull them out and they would still shoot. So will any of the other utility guns.
People are so fickle. If these were new in the box guns, that may be a little different.

You can ask any price you want. However, does anyone buy?

Ok, so, the ones for $2749.99 in the Original post aren't new either. They are used as used can be. You may want to rethink the value of your G17.
If your like me you still have the plastic case and giblets.

Shrinking commodities often inflate once production ceases and the inevitable attrition begins. Almost every time a stolen Glock gets used in a crime or an obliterated serial number Glock gets recovered it gets ordered destroyed, original owners die and relatives turn them in for destruction, folks lose interest and turn them in for a $100 gift card, etc. 10,000 becomes 8,000 becomes 5,000, etc. over 30-odd years.

Especially with folks who want to get “one of every model” like some serious Ruger or Glock collectors, S&W revolver collectors, Colt SAA, Lee-Enfield collectors, etc.

Now I wouldn’t place any Glock on the same plane as a nice SAA or a pristine K-38, but the Gen 1 Glock 17 was a trendsetter that has spawned truckloads of Gen 2-5 copies and offshoots made in-house and countless millions more after-patent expiration clones and home made guns like the P-80 and Freedom Wolf series of 80% frames. For many shooters today their entire lifetime was dominated by “Glock” so they’re really into them. (Several who have worked for me over the last three decades admit that the only handguns they’ve ever fired are their issued Glock pistols. Sad, but true.)



Hmmm, I will look for the box today and see whats in there. It has been years since I opened it, I cant recall what it still holds (if anything) off the top of my head.



Cool! Mine is somewhat stock, it only has a replacement front sight, an Apex trigger mod and striker spring kit.
