Title: Glock Slides
Post by: Mudinyeri on July 28, 2011, 04:11:40 PM
I know we have several Glock armorers on the forum.  I've been toying with the idea of "building" a Glock.  What's a good source, other than Glock themselves, for Glock slides, barrels, etc?  I came across a Gen 2 G17 frame (I really prefer the Gen 2 grips) and thought it would be interesting to "build" a Glock.  Used Gen 2 G17's seem to be fairly plentiful for under $400 so I don't want to spend more than that.

TIA

And you really shouldn't pay more that $300, and certainly no more than $350 for G2 or older.  At least I would not.

Are you talking about the frame or the whole gun?

The whole gun.

The whole gun. 

Most places I've seen the police trade-ins have been at $349-389.  Any suggestions on where to find them for $300-350?

As Dan stated, Pawn Shops, CDNN, occasionally will see one on Gunbroker, as well as Cabelas.  I say Cabelas as they had police buy back G22s recently for about $389.   $389 not too bad IF and I mean IF very good condition WITH good night sights.

Last 3 Glocks my family bought used from a a local pawn shop, the highest priced was around $350 for a G17 with 2 mags   One G19 has a lasermax unit installed and was only $325. Plus I recently ought a G26 from a board member for $400 with 3 mags and it was as new in box with a small number of rounds fired.


All gen 3 BTW

Interesting.  I stopped by a local pawn shop last week.  There was a Gen 2 G17 with a single mag in the case.  The guy behind the counter was "tired of looking at it" and offered it to me at $400.  I didn't even bother making a counter-offer since I was relatively confident I could get one through one of our NFOA member dealers for less.

They had another G17 in the case that looked pretty worn.  Maybe I should've made them a two for one offer.  :lol:

Most of the pawn shops in Omaha want $475 and up for a used up Glock of any sort.

If you have the frame already, watch Gunbroker.com for complete uppers being sold.

I ended up not buying the frame since I didn't feel like I had a firm handle on a good, inexpensive supplier of complete slides.  The Gunbroker watch is a good idea though.

I may just go back to the pawn shop in a few days and see if those same two Gen 2's are in the case ....

Wow, you guys must frequent better pawn shops than I do.  Every one I go to wants new prices for used guns.

Express Police Supply AKA OMBEXPRESS.com has Gen 2 police G22 trade-ins for 299.99 right now. They are out of Kansas. Also if you want to build a Glock Lone Wolf Distributors has some sick slides and frames they make @ lonewolfdist.com     ;D

Thanks.  I'm specifically looking for Gen 2 G17's.

I don't think you will find a decent Gen 2 Glock 17 for less than $400. As for the G22's the market is over-flooded with LE trades and you can't give those away. Express PS has been trying to give them away for $300 since they quit selling Glocks 2 years ago........ I just got in a Gen 2 Glock 17 today that will go on Gunbroker to start at $400....... If I sell it locally, I have to add sales tax.
