Gen4 Glocks Completely Out now?!?

[koh86]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this site and new to guns in general. I did some research and found that I can get a Gen4 glock through SSE up until 1/1/15. Before I stop my search and just settle with a Gen3, is there really no way to get a Gen4? Buy it from a private seller? Anything? Please help. Thanks!

If it's not on the roster now, the only way to get it is either PPT, or find one in a shop that's a LEO trade-in. I've actually seen quite a few of them hit the shops from LEO's that sold them.

It can't just be a LEO trade in. It has to be sold ON CONSIGNMENT. A trade in is generally not handled as a consignment sale.

Otherwise you have to buy from private party. Be prepared to pay a premium - there are plenty listed for sale in the marketplace here on Calguns.

What are LEO trade-ins and how do they work? I googled LEO and got Leonardo Di Caprio.

Sorry I'm a noob. Wish there was a glossary for these abbreviations you guys use LOL

If you really MUST HAVE a Gen 4, hunt around the Classifieds. You don't really have to wait long as I've seen several. Just be prepared for the.......astronomical asking price.

Thanks! I'll keep looking.

I did not know that - thanks! I've seen a few in gun shops on the "LEO used" section, but I didn't make the mental connection that they were consignment guns (or were not for sale to non-LEOs). I'm not a Glock fan, so I never bothered to ask...

Most want gen 4 because it's "rare." Kinda funny because the finish durability on the gen 3 is actually better than gen 4.

Got a gen 3 and gen4. I thought the back straps of the gen 4 were gonna be some revelation in the way it felt. Nope. In stead of holding a square block now it feels like I'm holding a 2x4. Biggest thing that helped improve the feel of a glock was to get it stippled and the finger grooves remooved. Oh and add a grip force adaptor. I shoot my stippled gen 3 waaaaaaaay more than my gen4.

I learned early in life that anything is obtainable as long as you have the cash and you're willing to pay. If I were rich, I would be buying many off-roster guns from the classifieds.

Are you a time traveler?

Just buy one from a private seller on the marketplace.

This.

Couldn't be less interested in a Gen 4. Sure they're rare-ish - unless of course you travel anywhere outside CA. Me, I'll stick with the proven reliability and durability of the gen 3s. They fit my hand fine and shoot great. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

But to each his own.
