would this bother anyone

Nope wouldn't bother me.

Inanimate objects don't retain spiritual "energy", good bad or indifferent. If they did I wouldn't be able to go to work and run certain blood soaked machines, drive on any highways with their carnage, or wear clothes made by 13 year old kids earning piece work wages in Pakistan, India or New Jersey.

<....> I don't think I'd pay that much for a used Glock though...

 

[XD_45ACP]

Not only a little creepy on the gun history, but the seller only has 9 ratings...I personally won't spend over $50 online without hundreds of positive reviews of the seller. I would definitely stay away.

 

[Ronin101]

Not really funny Johnny.

But I agree a bout the cost..why pay new cost for a used gun. I don't get people.

 

[ku4hx]

Well, as many of us have been known to say, "Guns don't kill people; people kill people". With that in mind if I wanted it and had the money I'd give it a good home.

 

[PRM]

Nope... I have owned a number of antiques over the years. No doubt more than one of them was used in anger at some point. It's not uncommon to find vintage military arms with a deep unique type of pitting that usually indicates that blood was on the weapon for an extended period at some point.

 

[Ehtereon11B]

Wouldn't bother me at all. Used gun means it has some mileage on it. Some, like that one, have a bit more mileage than others. It must bother the seller though with all the "must sell."

 

[hawgrider]

Not bothered by anything other than the price. I wouldn't pay that much for a used glock when I could get a new one for that price or less.

 

[armedwalleye]

There are at least 17 bids from other people who aren't bothered....

 

[Wishoot]

How many of you have old colts, martinis, 303s etc.?

Exactly.

Same applies to police trade's.

 

[Deus Machina]

Logically, it wouldn't bother me.
Still, if it's not the only one available, it would be just as easy to look elsewhere.

 

[Sheepdog1968]

Personally I would pass. Kudos to seller for honesty.

 

[blkbrd666]

Nothing wrong with the gun. It's just a gun. Unless, it sat in Evidence for a long time while it was full of blood. From the write-up, sounds like the shop owner is pretty much a weenie so it may have not been cleaned. I don't know if there are any parts in a Glock susceptible to rust or pitting?

I had an Inox Beretta go through the same thing, sat in Evidence for months, first rack sent dried blood flakes everywhere. Luckily, there weren't any parts in the Beretta that were affected.

Seems kinda expensive for a used Glock though.

 

[psyopspec]

Same applies to police trade's.

There's a world of difference between the gun in the OP and one with an 18% accuracy rate.

 

[Sauer Grapes]

Looking for a glock 27, came across this one but for some reason I am hesitant. Would this bother anyone? Http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=332319112

Obviously it isn't bothering some people. [19 bids] Besides, it's not like there won't be another one if you pass on this one.
I would probably pass on it. I certainly understand the husbands reasons for not wanting it.
I wonder why they even mentioned it in the first place.

 

[hAkron]

A Glock for $525 with only one mag? I would probably pass.

 

[The Lone Haranguer]

I can't blame anyone for associating the instrument of a loved one's death with their loss. But to me it is just an inanimate object, that belonged to someone I don't know. I wouldn't let this history affect my judgment.

 

[toejamm]

If you could pick it up for $450.00 or less, I would do it.
Short of that, buy a new one with two mags.

 

[Panzercat]

Meh, not buying it. Likewise, for a gun that's spent its life in a safe or holster, that barrel looks kinda beat up.

 

[CZguy]

would this bother anyone

Nope, not a bit. But I'm not going to buy it, so the real question is, would it bother you?

 

[Inebriated]

The fact that it's Gen 3 is more disgusting than anything else about it.

 

[Chris-bob]

Those that ignore the past are doomed to repeat it, so hurry and buy it!

 

[Thompson9494]

I think it's a bit much for a baby Glock especially with only one magazine. For $535 you could be well on your way or have enough to purchase a newer Glock or whatever you're looking for. I don't think the gun is going to go Final Destination on you or anything, I'm sure it functions perfectly. But still, I'd pass on this one and find a more reasonably priced Glock with a cheerier past, preferably one that only involves killing Mr. Paper Target, Mr. IDPA target, and his distant cousin the paper plate.

Good luck!!

 

[jdex]

I'm passing on it, honestly I have owned a few 27's and always seem to sell or trade them, found a few mags the other day while cleaning up, and decided I missed it. So I'm back on the hunt for a good deal on one.

 

[Bobson]

Interesting the woman used a bullet to do herself in. Most want to go out looking nice and no mess to leave behind.

Agreed. Suicide with a gun is remarkably rare among women.

Anyway, the gun's past wouldn't bother me as much as the price.
