My Unicorn Finally Slayed! Glock 32 Gen2

[runco]

Yes, I am pumped!  I finally acquired the gun that I had missing from the little gen2 collection that I have got going on.  I don't why this became such a obsessive journey for me.  I guess when you want something, and can't find it, but you know there is one out there, it just eats you up.  Nothing really special about this gun, other than ~2,000 were made, and it has stamped on the slide "357 Sig".  All gen III and gen IV have only "357" stamped.  I guess Mr. Glock didn't want to advertise Sig on their glocks.  Thats like buying a Ford Mustang from the dealer with Chevy Camaro emblems! 

 

The one I purchased, not the one from Armslist I wrote about a month ago, was found coincidentally about a week later on Gunbroker, unfired new in the box.  The transaction was from a individual, but ran smooth.  Don't ask about the price, it was a premium is all I am going to say.

 

First, this!

I found one a couple of years ago on gun owners club but the guy had it refinished, it kind of ruined it for me.

Nice! Just curious, but does that complete the Gen2 collection?

[runco]

I don't have a 19, 31 or 36. At this point I'm not interested in the long slides or the 2.5 gens. The 19 will be acquired when I find one at a reasonable price. The 31 and 36 though rare, will be acquired when I run across one and at a very reasonable price as well. I'm not just as obsessed now, the 32 just has ate my lunch for about 2 years now.

Getting what you want: PRICELESS!!!

19s pop up every now and then but can say ive seen a 31 or 36 for sale.

I have had a search engine on GB for close to two years now for the 32, 31, and 36 gen2, and only one hit has been made and that was the 32 about 3 weeks ago.  I also have a search engine on Armslist. 

 

I know there are some that laugh about collector value of Glocks, but that wasn't my goal to have a pristine collection, but rather something simple and on a redneck level.  Well, maybe not a redneck level like a Jennings or Lorcin level, but a respectful level like Glock, but shooters and not safe queens.

I do not think there is a true Gen2 Glock 36. Other than an OD frame I am pretty sure all Glock36 to this point have been the exact same. The Glock 31 Gen2 probably is the most rare of all the Gen2.

I hope you are right, I dont like the 36.

Doing a little research using this link:

• Looks like the 36 was first issued in 2000 in both a Gen 2.5 and Gen 3.0, see serial number DTH & DUK.  Looks like I can drop this one from the plan.
• Looks like the 31 was first issued in February 2007 as a 2.0, see serial number CDZ.  In April 2008 it was confirmed at 3.0, S/N CRK.
• Looks like the 32 was first issued in February 2007 as a 2.0, see S/N CEA.  In April 2008, it was confirmed at 3.0, S/N CRL.

Refinish a Glock??  Shirley you jest.

Wow, I didn't know they made gen 2 32's. My first gun was an early gen 3 32 which I thought was a new model for glock...Guess not!

Just wanted to connect the dots:
