Glock 17 1st Generation

[big mo]

Question for you Glock gurus. I have a few Glocks but far from an expert on them. I have a 98%+ G17 1st Gen and I was going to trade it for another handgun. A friend is telling me that would be a mistake because they are becoming rare and will be vaulable collectibles very soon. Talk to me guys let me know your view. If you all think so I will hold onto it....Thx

I'm no expert either but I don't think the 17 is rare or becoming rare in the next 100 years.

Maybe they are thinking about the GLOCK 7. Now that is a rare collector's item!

I agree with nsnate. 1 gen 17s are becoming less common with respect to being handed across the gun counters across the land, but they are by no means rare.

Keep it...shoot it...enjoy it. Anything trading you will do will end up costing you more than if you bought something else outright.

I'm with you guys. I did not think they're rare guns. But I did want to be safe than sorry that I let it go. Another thing that confused me was what this guy is allowing me on the trade. Much higher than what I thought and know it's worth. Just didn't know if he knew something I didn't know. And just for the record he made me the offer, so I'm was not trying to beat him.

how much did he offer for it?

how much did he offer for it?

He's allowing me $550 and $75 to boot. For his HK USP.45. I only have $375 in the G17. Needless to say it will be a done deal soon as he gets off today.

Yank his arm off,you are the one getting the better end of this trade. 1st Gen 17s are pretty common but 1st Gen 19s you don't see many of.

[Guest sling]

Uh yeah. Please trade the 17 in for the USP45...

I'll shunn you forever if you dont take that hell of a deal.

But seriously. Dont be a foo. Grab that USP. You're getting more gun.

Good lord MO...JUMP ON IT!

[big mo]

He gets off at 4:00pm. I talked to him 5 mins ago and now he's throwing in 225 rds of .45 ammo for $30. I will be sitting in his driveway before he gets there. Trust me I know this deal does not come by often. I'm on it like stink on sh*t. Todays must be my day, I'm going to buy some lottery tickets.

[Smith]

Hmm, sound to good to be true........ just saying, I'd go for it it, but I'd also be carrying just in case.

[big mo]

Nate, If I did not some what know the guy I would think about passing on the deal. But he's a semi-retired doctor and we've played golf a few times. The deal on the ammo is because he does not have another .45. Never the less I'm packing when I sleep. Ok guys I've got to go close my deal!!!

So...what.. he operates on people when the time is right?

wtf.

I hate doctors with all my heart and soul.

[Guest price g]

I think you mean 2nd gen, no finger groves or picatinny

[hillbilly justice]

You better trade. I wouldn't give $550 for a brand new Glock! But. different strokes for different folks. HJ

[Guest m14man]

you dont have a 17 long slide do you now that one is a little harder to find.
