Thinking about getting a used Glock 19. HELP ME!

[hyeg35]

Hey guys, I was at my local gun shop the other day and they had a used Glock 19 in the case for $350. It seemed to be in really good shape. It was a Generation 2 Glock. I have a G22 and I was thinking about adding this to the arsenal. What do you guys think? Good price? Anything to look for when buying used?

Thanks in advance.

Look at the slide rails. The point of contact between the slide and the frame. There should be 4 points of contact.

2 on the left 2 on the right

Check to see if the frame is cracked.

Push down on the front end of the frame, pull up on the front end of the frame. Look for cracks in the polymer. Check the locking block area for stress cracks.

If you do walk away with it, have a Glock armorer give it a once over.
Hope this helps.

Just look for cracks in the polymer and the rails. You already own a Glock so should know what the internals are like.

You can get a brand spankin' new one from GSSF for $398.20.

Dont think so anymore greg. My G22 RTF2 was $440. They upped the price april first I beleive.

I think 2 gen. are better anyway

Good deal but IMHO I would just save up another $100 and find a gen 3 here on the classifieds.

My G17 was when I got it recently. Some GSSF vendors don't know about the price increase.

Ah mine did , dangit lol. Ordered it on the 11th.

I think that's a pretty good deal if the gun is in good shape.

And plus 9mm ammo is cheaper than .40, so you can practice with it as well. And it doesn't hurt to have more Glocks.

Lots of good info here guys. Thanks

Went shooting today and I shoot best with my Glock Fotays, I'll probably keep my G17Gen4 as a safe queen.

Get the Fotay:

Actually all of them do now because either way even if the shop didn't know of the price change that started in April to get the old price you had to have the old certificate, which GSSF stop issuing mid Feb. The new system which I am sure all stores participating know about only requires your GSSF membership. LC Action was trying to charge people the higher price before the April 1st deadline even when customers had the old certificate. You might be lucky if you happen to have an old certificate but I doubt that since there were only issued for two months.

But back on subject. $350 is not a bad price for a used Glock. Used Glocks rarely drop below the $300 mark especially in CA so as long as it is in good shape it is a decent deal. That being said for $425 if you are already a GSSF member you can get a new one. If you are not a GSSF member its only $35 more and it is well worth it even w/o the discount because of the awesome noob friendly matches they have. I attended one match and won a 2 year renewal of my membership. I didn't account for the DROS and Tax because either way you have to pay that.
