New vs Used

[Wheezy50]

There have been a couple 19s pass through the classified section here for around $500 recently. Just keep an eye out

Always an interesting topic. I like the idea of used but it all depends on the price spread. If close in price I will always go new for the factory warranty. Then of course there is the fun of searching out something no longer in production. As for the Glock too many used out there for close to what you can buy new. Stick with new.

First, your poll is invalid because it doesn't offer BACON as an option.

But, I voted for used anyway.
I am just a used gun fan, I guess because of the value.

Used Bacon???

I'm 50/50. Have bought new, have bought used. I find I'm more likely to keep the one I buy new.

I buy mostly used. I'm not worried about used as long as its maintained. Just be patient as others have said. There will be someone trying to sell a gun you like sooner or later. I wouldn't over spend on used Glock either. I'm not a Glock guy really, but they have a good enough reputation that 1k+ down the pipe wouldn't steer me away. Good luck!

I bought new. Never gonna sell it!

Details? Was it at your LGS for ~$600 or did you find a better deal? Have you taken it to the range yet? I've owned a G19 gen 3 since last April and have been going to the range with it every week for the last 3 months. Really like the gun a lot and hope you enjoy your gen 4!

I have a friendly acquaintance with a guy in Hamilton County with his FFL. He sold it to me for $525, plus tax. My LGS sells in Noblesville the same gun for $650.
I haven't picked it up yet, but its mine, it'll be my EDC, and never gonna sell it.
wtburnette, that's some good practice you're making time for.

Pretty nice deal on a new G19 gen4, congrats!

Yeah, I have the G19, G34 and an M&P VTAC I take with me to the range every time I go. I find all three a lot of fun to shoot and I'm accurate with all three. Just trying to get more accurate....lol!

 

[nsheepdog]

The 34 seems like it would be a fun toy. Do you run any aftermarket sights on your Glocks, or just factory?

 

[wtburnette]

I had Truglo TFO sights put on at the Indy 1500 and I really like them. Much better than the stock Glock sights IMO.

Thinking about getting Trijicon HD's for the Glock 34. It has an adjustable rear sight, so it's better than the standard Glock sights, but I'd like to see if the Trijicon's make a difference for me. The G34 is a LOT of fun to shoot and incredibly accurate. It also has very little recoil and has a 4.5lb trigger instead of the standard 5.5lb trigger like most Glocks, plus it feels smoother. All in all it's very nice and a lot of fun on the range.

If I bought a used gun, I would want to know who it came from. If you know it has been taken care of, you could get an awesome deal.

Trijicon sights make a difference. I have had Tru-Glo on another weapon. They last longer and have a better glow. spend the money for sure.
