G19 Homeland Defender Model

[coffman19]

Basically an upgraded 19 with some extra emblems thoughts on Value?

Whatever a regular G19 costs unless you find some kind of collector who might be willing to pay more.

What are the upgrades?

I think it came with a light, night sights, and 3 mags. Plus it said homeland defender on the slide. Pretty much it.

Also has oversized slide release over sized mag release

Wasn't able to do much research at the time of my initial posting, but now have had a chance to look at it.  

 

Seems to be a glock19 with factory night sights, extended slide and mag releases installed, 3 mags, and a light.  Plus the homeland defender logo on the slide.  

 

I'd agree with garufa above with the value.  From what I saw on old pages of other forums, seems like it originally sold for $600-$700, and came out a few years ago.  I wouldn't pay near that for one now.  The extended slide/mag releases aren't particularly expensive, and are easy to replace on your own (less than 5 minutes if you watch the right YouTube video).  The night sites are probably starting to dim and I would be looking to replace them in the next few years, so that value isn't what it would be if they were new.  I don't know much about the light that came with it, but I wouldn't consider it a great deal of added value, primarily because I wouldn't use it.  As far as the novelty of the HD logo ... enh, I'd be just as happy (if not happier) without it.  The one real plus is the extra mag.  

 

All that said, if I was selling one, I'd essentially price it for what everyone else was pricing a G19 for on this forum.  You could add a few bucks for the extra mag and light, or you could list it without the light and only 2 mags.  I would think about $550 would be the most I would entertain giving someone for the entire package, but I'd try to talk you into keeping the light and giving you $500 for the gun and mags.  I seem to see a lot of G19s listed for around that and they seem to move pretty quickly.  

All that being said ... if you believe this post from another forum, this guy supposedly sold one for $1100 a year or so ago ...

I've seen 2 for sale. one was priced $650.00.

The other was $600.00. Both were "NIB" but for sale buy owner not a dealer.

I'd only be willing to pay MAYBE $500-525. As most used G19  are going for $450 or so.
