Starting tomorrow Cabelas has a sale on law enforcement trade in Glock 22s for $359.99 with two 15rd mags and a hard case. I looked at two today (which were Gen 2s) and put a hold on one to pick up tomorrow. Internally they looked very good but do have holster wear on the slide. Of course the one with the best internals and barrel had a lot more outside wear but I chose it anyway.
Anybody bought a Glock LE trade in? Anything else I should look for before buying? I was impressed how little wear the mating surfaces had, slide/barrel/frame. The bore looked excellent.
I'm curious why these pistols are traded in in the first place if they work properly. Maybe the officer wanted a Gen 3 for the dust cover rail which the Gen 2 doesn't have. Or maybe lots of officers are moving to the new Gen 4s? Or they want a more compact pistol?
Anyway, this seems like a fair price and I've been wanting to buy a full size Glock. Also have been wanting to try out the 40 S&W. I've long had 45ACP and 9mm pistols and the 40 S&W seems like a great compromise even though I've heard the S&W stands for Short&Weak.
Any comments would be appreciated!
