Glock 22

[Kruzzzzin34]

Well I was planning on waiting longer to make a purchase, but my sister's car was stolen this morning so I decided to make the plunge. I ordered it this afternoon and it should be here in two weeks. I paid $711.49 including everything. What does everyone think on the price?

[sltdude]

I paid $575 otd 12 days ago...

"including everything"
Does "everything" include $150 worth of ammo and accessories?

[sava]

You overpaid bigtime!!!

David from Going Quiet sells them for $470, shipped to your FFL. The most you should pay for a Glock is $500, before tax.

[Kruzzzzin34]

Everything includes the taxes and DROS. I would have much rather bought used and shipped it in, but hell the FFL's wanted $120 for the tranfer, so I figured that I should go ahead and buy new. I'm assuming it must be the area (Fresno)?

Ouch, I hope you at least got a courtesy reach-around for that price
Too late to cry over spilt milk. You got a great gun, shoot it often and enjoy it.

Ya $575 otd new including taxes and dros u overpaid bro do research before buyin sometimes u can haggle the price down

[sequoia_nomad]

Yeah, that's a bit pricey. What does your sister's vehicle have to do with your impulse to buy a Glock? If you caught a thief in the act and you pulled a gun on them in this state, you would be the one arrested. Unless they have broken into your home and you are "in fear for your life", you don't have much legal ground to stand on if you bring a firearm to a non-violent crime. Not that I agree with it, but that is how the laws work in this sick state.

[Kruzzzzin34]

Did my research but I'm thinking it's Fresno, all Glock 22s that I found here were $620 plus. Next time I'll ask for a courtesy spit for free.

Well while reporting the stolen car we found out that there has been 6 break-ins in our neighborhood since Christmas, but this buy wasn't an impulse buy I've been saving for awhile now.

You could have drove down to Sac. I bought a G19 and a G17 from Going Quiet, and even after the FFL fees it was cheaper than buying it in the stores. Both guns were $450, FFL fee was $60, that puts each gun at $510, which is nowhere near what it would be if I bought it at the store.

Oh well, lesson learned. Next time you might look into different FFL....

Well, at least you have it now.
Congratulations on your new gun.
Now get some ammo ordered before Friday to get some internet savings

Actually he would have had to drive UP to Sac, and it would be an 8 hour day that he would have to do twice...not to mention the fuel. Trust me, I'm not against traveling for something I want, but going twice is a real deal breaker.

But I agree with your point, there should be many shops closer to him for a normal price. In my area he could have gotten one for $495 plus taxes, DROS, etc, and it would only be a half day trip twice.

Which FFL did you buy from?

Your in Fresno and you don't go to PRK?

They have Gen 4's in stock. Even if you got something from gunbroker, there not going to charge you $120.
