Don't hold your breath waiting for Andrea to change that!I can't wait for this "can't but Glocks in Mass" problem created by Harshbarger/Coakley/Healey to go away.
I look at this the same as putting new rims or better brakes on your car or adding a nice sound system to your TV set up. A couple easy and inexpensive add on’s to a Glock and it feels and shoots a lot better imo.Yep, grip tape to fix crappy grips. aftermarket trigger to fix crappy trigger. aftermarket sights to fix plastic pos factory sights.
He’s speaking to the first circuit currently hearing a case brought by FPC challenging the hand gun roster.Don't hold your breath waiting for Andrea to change that!
it may be partially funny to some, but, in this state, i personally got rid of both g19s i had - as i did not want to buy pre-ban mags for them, and consolidated all magazines to be G17 formfactor, and for a shorter barrel got a g19x recently. i do not need it, so it just sits in a hiding spot.Just an observation
There are now 9 Glock 19s for sale on just the first 2 pages.
What if anything, has taken its place for most people?
Ready, set, flame away.
43x is a snappy sumbich.....but still fun to shoot and easy to conceal.I have a 43x. Certainly easier to conceal than my 19 but also harder for me to shoot well. The 19 fits my hand better.
don't laugh....i have a hogue grip on my 43x and 43 frames....backwards design cues for sure but it makes shooting those snappy suckers much easier on my Palmolive hands.easily fixed with grip tape. I use talon grips.
Same here, I am a Glock fan boy but I ain’t payin $700 lol.If I could find a Gen 5 Glock 19 MOS in good shape for $500 or even $550, I’d buy it. But alas, I live in Mass.
The first sentence of your post tells me you haven't spent anywhere near enough time on here.IMHO, the only appeal for folks in MA is that you can't buy them new from a gun shop. I've had a few and never liked them. You get better ergonomics from a brick. They have no grip texture, and slide around in sweaty or damp hands.
IMHO they're meant to be cheap, but reliable disposable guns to be sold en mass to armies and police forces where they're used, abused, and thrown away like yesterday's garbage, then cheaply replaced.
You could just pay a tiny bit more and get one brand new....If I could find a Gen 5 Glock 19 MOS in good shape for $500 or even $550, I’d buy it. But alas, I live in Mass.
It's more than that at low retail easily. Most people aren't paying that with ride and transfer even from the scumbags like puds. Unless they're on blue label.A new Gen 5 G19 is worth 500.....maybe. Unless you find a sale online.

The 365 is the same size as the 43x, which I already have. The P320 competes with the 19.
I find that the 43x moves around a bit in my hand when shooting and as a result just isn't comfortable for an extended session. In contrast, I can put hundreds of rounds through the 19 in a single session with no fatigue. I just wish the grip angle was different.of course there's the argument that 43x/365x/xl can supplant a 19 but i don't buy it, they're both a little compromised.... and i say that as someone who likes both of those platforms (i carry a 43x mostly because im lazy) but I still don't consider them true peers to a 19. I find the 19 to behave more like its larger counterparts.
The people that overpaid for used Glocks are going to be in the same boat as cab medallion owners.I can't wait for this "can't but Glocks in Mass" problem created by Harshbarger/Coakley/Healey to go away.
You are doing it wrong…Brand new is around $650 plus $40 bucks in transfer fees and 50 miles or so of driving. I keep putting it off, though.
but you will get arrested and will have to prove while your ltc will be confiscated and your house raided.probably get arrested and have to prove they’re preban
That's what crack smokers list things for but that's not necessarily the price it sells for, unless they snag a rube. Years ago I politely negotiated a new HK listed at $1200 down to $900.... as I saw the guys ad languishing for a few weeks. A lot of stuff listed at some stupid price get sold for much less.Have been out of the loop for a while but weren't "like new" G19s selling for like $800 in the classifieds not too long ago? Admittedly, feel like that's what my last one sold for a few years back......
They’re not selling because we’ve also reached a point where people are afraid to use preban mags.
It's more than just cops, you can basically be a town dog catcher or ambulance driver and buy a blue label gun from a remote.... but in reality most of the flippers are not that dumb. Glock could sue them for violating the agreement. (This doesn't happen, though).It's a design of our state system. Cops buy blue label Glocks every year and flip them for a bit of extra lunch money. Easy $1K bonus right there.
