I finally joined the gen 1 Glock club

[Mark from MA]

What makes Gen 1 special. I remember when my dad had new sights out in they were kinda impressed by it at the shop.

Nothing really......except some people think because it was the first real plastic pistol of popularity, the early models might be collectable.

Plastic means nothing to me, I'll take the new gen5 for the same money and shoot it all day long.

Glocks as a safe queen is just weird to me.

Have we actually reached that point where Glocks have become collectible?

Yes. I'd never own one b/c they are slippery as F. It's like shooting a bar of soap. LOL

It's also EXTRA valuable in mASS. ROFL!!!!

Obviously didn't get it at 4S, would have cost you $800

some people are willing to pay retard money for that fish gills RTF Glock. Not sure standard ones will ever get rare enough, but they are "RaRE iN MA" i guess.

$800 for a gen 1 is a good deal

Agree, but there’s definitely worse, less useful things to collect.

I had one. Sold it for normal money.

I bought My Gen1 new in 1987, has a build date of Dec 1986.

Local shop had this baby for $480 out the door. Staff claimed it was a gen 2. I said sure it is and here’s $480. serial # puts it around late 1988 production. Internals look great. it has some dings and scratches. Cleaned her up and sealed in an air tight bag with desiccant. This one is a collector piece for my boys.

Who else has a gen 1 story to share?

Haha.... I actually did that. Back when I first got an LTC, when I got skeered cuz Obama got elected. I went to FS and bought a Ruger 22 (the one that is impossible to reassemble) and a super beat up G17 they charged me $700 for. Sites so crooked, that WWII German gun that shoots around corners is probably more accurate.....Noob!

$700 in 2009. I never shoot it. I ran the serial # years ago..... Gen 1, originally owned by Detroit PD. For years I've been like " I've gotta send that thing back to Glock for a free facelift. Maybe they'll basically send me back a brand new gun." Just never got around to it.

So now you're telling me it's"collectable "?

Are ya sure? I mean, if this gun were a car, homeless people would be living in it.

I am a believer in "Never sell a gun" but... If I could flip it for a new gun...
