    Glock 17 selling price + Glock 19 brass to face issues?

    Hi guys,

    I'm looking to possibly selling my Gen 3 Glock 17 for a Glock 19. I've been searching the handgun sales forums and browsing previous topics where G17s were sold to get an idea of price but every topic in which the G17 has been sold has the price edited out by the OP. What kind of price can reasonably expect to sell my G17 with about 1000 to 1200~ rounds fired, two 10 round magazines, Glock speedloader, and the standard box and lock? The gun is stock with the exception of added Talon grips. I am ballparking around $400, since new G17s here in the LA area seem to go around $530ish average.

    In regards to the G19, some G19s I've rented at ranges before I bought my G17 had the infamous brass to face issue. I have Google'd extensively on this issue and it seems as it's a hit or miss on current new Glocks that affects both gen 3s and gen 4s, with some people reporting it and others having no issues. Is it still reasonable to expect a brand new gen 3 G19 today to possibly having this issue?

    Thanks in advance

    400 sounds like a decent price, should sell

      400-425 is a good price for a G17 to sell it fast.

      I sure wouldn't dump a G17 then buy a G19. If for some reason you do the BTF problem is 'almost' always solved by getting new followers because the G19 CA 10rnd mag design is poor.

        400 is fair. I've seen almost brand new go around 500. Glock has a strong following. Shouldn't have issues finding a buyer.

          My new Glock 19s had brass to face problems.

            My G19 has no BTF issues, even when running G17 mags and free state mags.

              No issues with my Gen3 19. Bought it in March ? This year.

                  $400 for a g17 in good shape will sell really fast. My g19 has made me glad I always wear eye protection with two casings hitting dead center on my glasses over the years

                      Don't sell it for 400, these fools are just trying to be cheap asses. 450-475$ and buyer pays fees, the gun is barely used.
                      I also recommend Armslists over this website to sell. I've sold a couple firearms on Armslists they go fast, and none on here. This website sucks.

                      I shoot my Glock 19 alot, wear a hat and you won't get brass in the face.

                        I recommend not selling your G17gen3 if it's working 100% for you.
                        Do get the G19gen3, but you may have feeding issues with its 10-round mags and you might have BTF.

                        If you get a G26gen3, I don't expect you'll have any issues.

                        My G17gen3 had the BTF issue, thankfully cured with a 30274 ejector.
                        My G19gen3 was fine with ejecting, however.
