How to buy a Glock 17

[Qwikdraw45]

oh dude. I sold one yesterday. Seriously.
Gen 4 G17, aftermarket night sights, extended mag release, extended slide release
Maybe 50 rounds through it.
It was one I won at a Glock match, set it up as a backup gun for Production division, but never fired it after setting it up.

Sold it for 550 cash. No paperwork. Took a picture of his weapons permit.

GA? That sounds like "Deliverance" prices (synonym for you-know-what).

OK here is my obligatory Glock speech
Glocks are legal in MA

Dealers are not supposed to sell you a new one

There are creative ways to get one, that involves buying it in pieces, then filing a eFA-10 within 7 days of it being able to fire a shot.

There is the used at gun shop market

then there are private party sales that you will find here on NES.

Do not pay stupid money for a $600 dollar gun.

I like Glocks, in NH used there isn't a used one in a FTF sale that has sold for more than MSRP if still in stock configuration

Tons of them in the 475 dollar range... Gen3 Glocks that are really nice guns

There is no reason to pay stupid money for a polymer pistol, as I said great guns at MSRP or less, more than MSRP there are much better guns out there for the money.

G17? What are you using it for?

The G17 is a brick, and if you are using crippled magazines ( we'll have the discussion about buying over priced 30 year old magazines that the plastic is turning to crap later) then you are carrying a lot more weight than you have to for an incremental increase in grip area and sight radius

Anything in the Sig P365 line is going to be dollar for dollar a better buy IMHO in MA unless you find someone selling for what they are going for in a "free state" like NH, FL, etc.

Lots for $400 in NH - when there isn't a panic going on. A bit more with accessories, extra mags, etc. but not much.

Have you tried being taller?

I carry (AIWB)a G45, and could equally carry the G17. It's not that bad, if you're proportioned for it.

Is that proportioned to be skinny and AIWB, or fat, with padding, to protect against the bumps? Asking for a friend.

Hunh. I thought you were older than that!

I knew a gal that went to NU in the late 80s. She was into guns, explosives and fast cars. She claimed her commute from Metroworst to Boston was like 10 minutes at 120mph. Not entirely sure I believed her, but I'll bet she tried.

Mmmm! Should have married a gal like that!

just because vettegirlma is gay doesn't mean you have to suggest a day that gets bullied in middle school

Nothing gay about that plan, as long as there's a bloody Mary or two involved I'd be in.

Colion Noir says AIWB is for skinny people. John Lovell introduced me to the 300th parallel. I won't claim to be qualified to make statements for others. If it works for your body, it's great; if it doesn't, I hear it's less so. It happens to work for mine. (And I'm still told to eat a sandwich)

I mean, it might be gay. But I'm (almost notoriously) okay with that. He also may have missed our sidebar chat in the thread about the Mill article, so that's okay.

That's not me saying no to Bloody Maries...

I live behind the wall and carry a gen 5 g19 and I didn't have to do either one of those things. Where there's a will there's a way.

The other day Biden stated that trucks pull up in the inner city and park and sell AR's everyday right out of the truck. If you find one of these trucks I'm sure they'd have a few slightly used Glocks for sale.

My first firearm was a Glock 23 back in the early 90's and couldn't buy another one in Ma. for years. Gunbroker is a beautiful thing.

Don't get me wrong, it does great for what it needs to.

Kinda how I ended up with three of them.

I’d love to be able to drive around the neighborhood with ice cream truck music playing and hand out AR15s like bomb pops. My AR15s bring all the boys to the yard.

i didn't call the plan gay, lol. i wouldn't insult gays by linking them to meeting up with middle aged strangers to roll out yoga mats, eat $18 eggs, and go buy a $900 glock that's missing 8 rounds in its mag

I mean, there's that whole Globe article followed by sale of the property, tripling of rent for many tenants and eventual demolition thing. Other than that? Just another Sunday.

I minimize the amount of time that I spend in MA and I don't read commie propaganda rags, so I honestly hadn't heard of it.

 

[Agnotology]

Not sure if serious. There are literally no hoops, you just go buy one. Unless "buying from somewhere other than 4 seasons" became a hoop.

WRT cost.... really? Most of the common polymer framed guns are within a few hundo of each other. Unless someone is trapped in hard poverty a couple hundo price swing shouldn't matter, someone should buy whatever works best for them. Nulling out a glock (or other brand) from consideration because skinflinting is just retarded on, god knows how many levels.

Or just go green and plenty of good sellers will reach out. Gen 5 g17 for $450. G44 for $380.

 

[EJFudd]

Gen 5 g17 for $450.

Sounds like a pretty good deal unless dog-chewed or melted in the sun.

BNIB as a parts kit.

 

[Malodave]

Shooting a Glock is like being trapped in 1982.

Glocks were available in the US in 1986. My GEN1 was made in Dec 1986. I purchased it in the Spring of 1987.

Hmmm... interesting. All Glock® parts? Or Glock® compatible parts?

Even if you don't read any of that s*** they were entire threads here about it probably still alive somewhere. Also to add a pile of s*** to the turd cake.. the town of Littleton also has its new shit zoning bylaw for gun shops.... basically it more or less makes establishing a new FFL in Littleton nearly impossible.

I remember seeing the post titles, but I didn't read any of them as they were about a gun shop in a town I'll never visit.

Actually those threads were about Freedom and Lawful Resistance To Anti-Constitutional Laws--but oh well.

I'd have to had clicked on the thread to learn that. BUT OH WELL

Even the glock parts I didn't want came with it. Namely the trigger and the tupperware.

 

[40 Creedmoor fan]

Whenever someone asks if they can buy a Glock, I tell them "Don't". Better things have come out. Heck, even Turks make better guns now. Go buy Canik @ 1st round or something...

What is better about Canik than Glocks?

Not trying to start an argument, serious question to learn.
