$690 for a G19?

Go to Federal Way Discount Guns in the future and avoid all the high priced craziness you get at most other shops in the Sea/Tac area.
You did OK though, Federal Way's price would be maybe ten bucks less.

 

[10-Ring]

Way too high -- even in today's market! Glad you found one at a much better price!

 

[AKElroy]

$550.00 locally, and in decent supply. For $690.00 you should be able to get something made of actual metal.

I work at a sporting goods store in Spokane, all regular glocks are $500, adjustable or night sights, add $50 or so.

p.s.
Go Cougs.

Another UW Student! Just turned 21 myself and picked up a pistol recently. $690 is nuts though. Which stores did you check out? (just so I can avoid them in the future )

Champion Arms was the first store that quoted me $690. I really like those guys, but that price is insane!

I DID end up buying from Federal Way Discount Guns, those guys always have good stuff in stock.

I also called sportsman's warehouse in Federal Way, they said no go on the G19 (3+ weeks wait time).

Nice to see that not all UW students are complete left wing anti-gun crazies

I just talked to Karl from Fed Way Discount by phone after I posted and he said their glock prices had gone up 10 bucks, still a good deal in todays market and they do manage to keep things in stock.
Karl is their gunsmith(and a friend of mine) and if you ever have a problem he'll work on that gun for free when you buy one from them. Not many stores do that.

Outrageous!!!

No Glock is worth more than $500 unless it has numerous bells and whistles.

$500 locally here in Corvallis, Oregon. $690 is highway robbery.

$550.00 locally, and in decent supply. For $690.00 you should be able to get something made of actual metal.

Funny thing is, even if you added another $100 you couldn't even buy an H&K which is a plastic gun

That said, I love my H&Ks!

 

[Ala Dan]

$519.88 NIB, here in cemtral Dixie'Land

 

[prescobd]

bought one yesterday new with night sights, 3 mags - $505.62 OTD.

It was however, from a police equipment supplier, but it gives you an idea of actual pricing.

 

[jdmb03]

I just bought one at Cabela's for $589, came with factory night sights and two 15rd mags.

 

[errickson]

picked up my G19 yesterday that i had ordered from glockworld.com for $469 + $20 shipping. very pleased. local seller (and the local FFL) had one in their case for $599 + 8.25 tax.

$690 for a G19? You're getting screwed!!!

I have no problems with folks making money but the only way to put a stop to this kind of abuse is to refuse to sit still for this kind of gouging...DON'T PAY!!! Go on the Gun Broker site. You'll find NIB G19s in the range of $500 & change. If you keep an eye out you may just be able to get a good used one in like new condition for less than $500. I paid $400 out the door for a used G19 last year that had been fired less than 50 rounds. Only had the 10 shot mags but I fixed that fast enough.

 

[waterhouse]

Wow. $690 for a G19 is up there, even by today's prices.

But I VERY rarely buy from local gun shops because they can't no scratch that they won't compete with academy, walmart, gunshows, or face to face transactions.

You had it right the first time, most gun shops can't compete with places like Academy and Walmart on prices. It's the difference between million dollar inventories and billion dollar inventories . . .the guys who spend billions get better deals and can pass them along to customers.

 

[J99]

for $690 you should be able t get a H&K or Walter

 

[tarrigoni]

That's because you went to Champion Arms.

They're ridiculous.

Go to Federal Way Discount Guns - they're the best in the area.

Champion Arms was selling WASR-10's for $900. I refuse to go there anymore.

nm - I should read the WHOLE thread before commenting.

Good job, though.

 

[dutch552]

$520 locally with fixed polymer sights. $690 is insane!

 

[D!rty H@rry]

$565 is the list price so to speak. shop accourdingly.

Picked up my G19 with Mepro Night Sights and 3 Mags for 489 out the door NIB through Glocks LE/Military discount program.
