Does anyone have any experience with these?
In my mind, I am buying some thing that was a lemon and it was so bad, it needed to be rebuilt in the factory. Am I wrong in my thinking? What would be some reasons that a Glock would need to be rebuilt? Am I better off getting a police trade in? |

Lots of the rebuilds are police unissued trade-in guns that Glock goes through and replaces the trigger group and springs.

I have no reason to doubt you, and I’m not trying to be difficult, but if its unissued, what would be the reason to replace anything? Is it a workaround for selling an unfired gun at a slight premium over a simply unissued gun?

While it took a few years and two armorers schools I would not hesitate to buy a used Glock of any kind that has not had the frame modded. They will warranty everything but frame modification and will replace the frame for a small fee.
The factory rebuild is just an in house armorer confirming it meets specs. Go for it. OR chance a trade in and you might be out shipping it to Glock at some point. |

Is it a workaround for selling an unfired gun at a slight premium over a simply unissued gun? No worries. They do it for liability reasons. Just in case the guns were modified either officially by the department armorer or unofficially by an officer. They won't sell an unknown condition firearm. |

Long ago when Glock was new on the US market it was their practice that any gun returned to them for any reason got all springs replaced.

They also do contract overruns as orange label.
I’ve been told that they get sent back to Glock and in order for them to sell them they need to be inspected. That inspection makes them a rebuild. There recently were a pile of G19M and G17M that were factory rebuilds. I have purchased several orange label factory rebuilds over the years and all of them were brand new in my eyes. I never found a single flaw in them and they all ran 100% as expected. I would buy with confidence. Especially considering they usually come with a solid discount over the standard red label. |

Never and always don't seem to fit from everything I have read on glock factory rebuilt guns.
I've also seen it mentioned before that they can be guns that didn't sell at a vendor show or something like that. But the box was opened/unsealed so... I've only bought 1 factory rebuilt glock.  Attached FileIt looked to have only a few handling marks on it, maybe from a display rack. Otherwise I would call it brand new and depending on where you buy from an awesome deal. |

Just bought a 45. Shoots great. Side by side shooting comparison to my gen 3 19 it’s a far far better gun. Plus it came with night sites and 3 mags total.

Had a gen 5 17 that was from F&W or something like that. Had the badge printed on the slide. |

Thanks for all the replies. I guess when I see the word rebuilt I’m thinking about transmissions that have grenaded. Maybe in my mind factory inspected would be more accurate. AIM Surplus has some factory rebuilt Glocks that I was considering because I do love the Gen 4. But I think for the price, I might just pick up a blue label Gen 5.
