I always buy used whenever it's possible. NGX usually has a good invetory of used pistols. Bought my G19 with glock light and 3 mags for $425 there a few years ago. Got my G17 for $385.
Cheapest place for 10 round mags that I have found is Ebay. Also check Mag Commander. |

Considering I would probably replace every spring and part subject to wear in a police trade in gun, I'd probably pass.
Get the one you really want, even if it means waiting a bit longer. 1 or 2 years from now, the $100 price difference will long be forgotten, but if you buy the used one, you might be saying "I should have just spent the extra coin on the one I wanted." Buy once, cry once. |

Mike you know darn well $100 is nothing in the gun world. Why get a highly used one to save a few bucks? 100% without question buy the new one. Just wait a month or two if need be.

Buy once, cry once. I agree, for $100 difference I would go with the one you really want. As stated above between buying the "CT" mags and spring replacement you're better of starting with a clean slate so to speak. |

$100 difference shouldn't even make you cry. Get the new one.

For $500 you could get a pre ban Glock and for $100 you ban get a threaded barrel. Why buy new?

I like my mp. Side by side with a glock 23 gen 4, my mp 40c had softer recoil and less flip... I do have an apex dcaek on order for it... Trigger sucks.
Every time I see a glock hat or sticker, I can only just laugh at their fanboy attitude. 
Don't get me wrong, they are fine pistols. I just don't like the way they feel. The mp is far more comfortable and it points better for me naturally. For all their own, results may vary. |

I wanted to add Mike, if your already content with your carry gun, think about the G17. I have the shield for carry and I used to shoot the FS m&p9, but have since converted to the g17. I shoot the glock better(still not very good
) so it's replaced the M&P.
There was a time when I hated the way the glocks look, then one day it hit me and I realized how good looking they really are. I'm not a fanboy. I like whatever works well, and looks good. If I was a fanboy of anything it would be; surplus GI

Haha whoops. I didn't realize you had the 17. Now I'm re understanding the thread. You just wanted to know about used vs new and our opinions. Not really about the gun itself

It's always about the gun. I had it in the back of my mind that buying the 19 would basically be a long term rental, as I can sell a used gen 4 g19 for damn near what I paid for it fairly easily. Or I would be struck by the light and see what all the craze is about.
Before long I see myself owning either a PPQ or VP9. The PPQ is problematic because of the mags, and the VP9 looks like goldilocks... Just right. So maybe we just skip the 19, cause I have the 17 and saved a lil more for the VP9. |

Another Glock 19 option may be to go with a new Gen.3. As much as I like Delta, you're probably going to pay more there (I've been guilty of spending extra to buy from them as well). Last time I looked at Hoffman's, they had new ones in a variety of configurations priced at right around or just over $500.

Got a chance to fondle both the G19 and the VP9. Neither felt right. So I went with this instead. Very happy with it. Ordered a Surefire XC1 to be released in something like 8 weeks, next comes holsters from Concealment Solutions. Just fits my hand better than anything else. Now I can stop carrying the wife's M&P 9.

Oh thank God! I thought I was gonna see another fat, ugly Glock when I clicked this link.
What you bought isn't what I would buy, but to each his own. As long as it ain't a Glock it is a good purchase. Enjoy it! |

But I couldn't get to the mag release without shifting my grip. (Had the same issue with third gen glocks) Tried hitting the right side with my trigger finger but my finger was too long to make that angle feasible. Even though I think the mag release is great I just couldn't get my thumb on it the way I wanted. Now the M&P controls with the medium palm swell fits me just right. |

These were the PD turn in Gen 2 Glock 19's I had been waiting for. In case anyone's interested. They go fast at that price.
