Strange coincidence

[rabidmonk]

So I got my first Glock 17 about 3 years ago. Fast forward to today when I pick up another G17 after the 10-day wait, take it home and see that the serial number is one digit lower than my old G17. So by random chance I now have 2 consecutively numbered Glocks. Go figure.

Buy a lottery ticket now!!!

Heck yeah. Put $20 on it even...lol.

So, how did that happen? Did it sit in the store for three years waiting for you or is it a used gun?

[sealocan]

wow! that's amazing I think you should probably sell those as a matched pair and then buy yourself 4 more glocks with the profit you will make. Don't worry those will probably be consecutive numbers as well.
but seriously that is the 1 in 1,000,000 type coincidence I don't know what it means but it means something.

Got it as a used gun, but the seller did get it at the same shop as I did. I know that ups the likelihood, but who would have thought the pair would be reunited after 3 years?

[trigger945]

Wow. Good find. Congrats. Yeah, sell both as a pair and get 2 more G17's AND 2 additional G19's from the proceeds!

Actually, that's not surprising at all. One reason Glocks are cheap (I mean, uh, inexpensive) is that they only use three different serial numbers for all of them. Saves on stamping costs. I have two with the same serial number. A collector I know has two sets of G17s, each with all three consecutive numbers.

Disclaimer: This is a joke. I know it's not true! A joke!

Jeez!

That is pretty cool! Great find and obviously valuable.

Now we're going to need to see a picture of you shooting them, "gun-fu style", firing one in each hand!

[JeremyS]

That's cool! What great luck.

the local police are looking for you. you have a glock with the serial number that was used in multiple homicides . now that is a joke.

[bsg]

congrats on your 'new to you' G17, and great that you've got consecutive serial numbers on the pair.

Group buy?

PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!




That's pretty wild if it did though.

Nice! Keep them both and get a left handed drop holster and a right handed drop holster for them and dual carry them. lol
