Glock 42 Price check....is $410 a good deal?

[Randall53]

Someone in the Chattanooga area has a Glock 42 for sale on Armslist for $410 with "50 rounds through it" as they say. I don't know who the person is or anything else, but does that sound like a good price? My wife is thinking about one. Has box papers etc...

Id say so. They are still in high demand. Glocks hold their resell value pretty well. You'd be getting a basically brand new gun less tax and/or FFL and background check fees.

Go for it. I would.

Yup

Maybe, but a LGS recently sold a slightly used one for well under $350.00. I'd think with the release of the 43 one could negotiate a better price for the .380 ACP.

I think you may be correct. I just saw new ones are selling at Academy Sports for $429. Demand must have dropped a bit. Shoulda looked there first I guess. I could still save $40 in taxes and $10 in B/C. I might still take it.

I have no issues with the Glock 42; I have shot one. However, .380 ammo is only slightly more available than 22lr. I mean finding ammo, much less self-defense ammo, is a challenge. I don't think I could justify anything over $400 for a Glock 42, especially since you can find a Shield for that.

[Randall53]

Thank you Patton. That is exactly what I offered.

I paid $400 for mine new, but had to pile tax and TICS on that.

I think that ad only listed one mag as well. Not a good deal.

Thanks for all the replies. The wife is having foot issues and can't walk anyway....I'm gonna hold off a month or so.
