My brother and I shot some 40 last weekend. I must be getting used to them because I enjoyed it quite a bit. He is now buying one.

Yep the 9mm retain there value unlike the 40sw. Trying to find a used 9mm is hard. The amount of police forces that use the 22 are much greater than the 17 or 21.
The conversion barrels are cheap enough. I just sold one for my dad since he picked up his 17 and didn't feel the need to have one for his 31c.
Short story buy the Glock :)

Since you already own a sub-compact 9mm you might as well get a different caliber and frame size.
Take a close look at a 1911 in. 45 ACP, and you will own something worthy of passing down to further generations.
With a full size 1911 in .45 the recoil is very manageable, and has been used as a concealed carry firearm for over 100 years with many a different holster available.

I know, it is crazy how many people have used 9mms for sale for more money than I can buy a new one for. ;)
I think one factor is that the G22 is their number one selling firearm, by far, and them being traded in as large lots. G23s usually bring about the same as 9mms. I can sometimes find G17s for good prices as well but are usually sold out fast.
I bought 2 G22s recently. The first one was $333 shipped with night sights, box, 2 mags (1 new). I was a lil disappointed that the sights were dim and had considerable holster wear but the internals were like new. I think it was a factory refurb.
The other one was $355 shipped with nightsights, box, and 3 mags. It will be here tomorrow so hoping it is great. I bought from the same place and they said it is really nice.
I saw your barrel for sale. He should have kept it as it is always good to have another option.

This new gun is going to be a secondary concealed carry for when I feel like carrying something different, for range/fun use and if I ever decide to get into competitive shooting, it would be for that too.
I think I'm leaning more towards the G 41 right now. I kind of like the idea of having a different caliber and it will be a full frame as well.
I'm not dead set on Glock, I'm open to other brands but as far as availability of aftermarket things like sights, magazines, holsters and pretty much anything you can think of is nice.
I've thought about getting another 9mm like the 17.
I think the biggest determination for me will be which one feels right when I hold it. If I decide I don't like the weight of the 41, which is lighter than the 21 I may end up just getting another 9mm in full frame.
And about those police trade ins. Where can I find info on those? I'd definitely be interested in that.

The nice thing about the 41 is your can use you existing small frame glock holsers. So say you have a OWB with a open muzzle the 41 will be a perfect fit where a 21 your will have to get all new holsters for it. As for CC i wouldnt want to stuff anything longer than a 17 in a iwb and owb for cc requires a longer shirt. Nothing that says you can just it is going to be long!
Thunder alley had a 41 the other day. I didnt notice if they still had one or not when i stopped in tonight.
As far a surplus guns go TA gets them time to time. HealthMart gets them also i think. AIM surplus gets a lot but many of them are gen2 19 or 17. maybe Mntman can fill us in!
