Who is in on a $51,000 glock?

Glock 19 9x21 Very Rare for sale (933504805)

What in the world is a 9x21 anyway? I've heard of 9x23 and such, but only that IMI had a 9x21 for a batch of UZI's.

Even at 1 of 3 made, I'd never even consider it. Looks like it sold though

And the seller had no feedback. Gutsy move.

It is sold, but 51k….wow. That is all.

Beretta makes a 98 version of the 92 in 9x21 since Italians are not allowed to own military rounds. Would guess Glock thought about doing it to see if it would sell in Italy, but with only 3 made, looks like it didn't pan out.

Seems like it was popular in some shooting sports for awhile. Kinda like the .38 super, you saw them in competitions but nobody ever actually carried it for self-defense or duty use. As far as why that is, I have no idea.

Get off my lawn.

Take a 9X19mm, stretch it out 2mm because 9X19 is a banned caliber in your country, behold, the 9X21.

omg that's crazy!! I couldn't c myself ever spending that much on a gun.. well I guess it would depend..

 

[87iroc]

OH, thats not a link to our classifieds. I missed that.

Only difference is the 38 super is around. I know 2 people that still carry a 38 super.

 

[mattinindy]

38 super is a really good round. wonder why it never became popular. Les Baer carries a 38 super

This kind of makes that $7100 Wilson Combat 1911 look like a deal now.

The really funny part is the 9 X 21 (9mm Largo) is actually a military caliber used by the Italians during WW2. I have an Astra 400 that is barrel marked 9MM/38. I purchased a few boxes of 9mm Largo (9mm X 21) surplus rounds. I took a few apart and weighed the bullets, then fired several rounds through the Crony to measure velocity, I compared the loads to the 38 Super in my loading manual and it was identical to the 38 Super loads. I measured the brass & found they are within spec for a 38 super, I have reloaded and fired several rounds of the "38 Super" through the gun with no issues whatsoever. I do remember seeing ads in magazines from the 50's advertising the military surplus guns using the 9 X 21 as "9 mm Magnums".

This is from Glock Talk regarding a G19 in 9x21
"9x21 G19
Perhaps the rarest of all Glocks is the 9X21 G19. Three special agents of the US Naval Investigative Service were being stationed in Italy with some work being done incognito. Since it is illegal for civilians to carry standard 9mm (9X19) weapons, Glock produced 3 model 19s chambered for the 9X21 cartridge. The pistols are marked with the new caliber on the frame and barrel and have serial numbers EN260US, EN261US and EN262US."

Kind of neat. Worth 51K? Not really, but if it is the story is right, I think it is pretty neat.

 

[IndyGlockMan]

Definitely neat with a cool story, not super cool, but 1 of 3 is a pretty darn rare pistol.
$51k is what it brought, all I can say is WOW.
Unfired seems unlikely since it was carried by US Naval officers. You'd think they would have to shoot it some, but who knows....
I would be more worried about it being a fake.

The only collectable Glock I would like to have is a Gen1 19 - smooth frame first gen release. They didn't make too many of those either.

 

[zzephaniah]

wow can't believe that sold
