I have a 1983 era G19 from waaaay back in the day.
I have had grip reductions done on the all the glocks i own (hate the hump) cept the 19. Will i be destroying any collector value this gun holds if i have the grip reduced? Thanks in advance! |

What's the SN, and do you have pics? |

Don't touch it!
post a pic please! If it's the smooth style Gen 1 frame, it's very valuable. Gen1 19's are extremely rare. 1988 was when the Gen1 19 was introduced. Serial # start with "AN"? If it's a real Gen 1 19, you could have one exceptionally rare gun that could be worth thousands. |
There are only 20 or so GenI G19's in the country. In excellent condition, it would easily fetch thousands to the right collector. Whittling on it would be like taking a WWII Remington Rand 1911 and sending it out to be chrome plated. It's sacrilege. Your call though.

My serial # is BV6.. and it dosnt have the smooth grip, So I'm assuming it aint worth thosands. Does it hold any value other than a regular old 19? A Serial number starting with BV6 would indicate a Nov '88 gun and probably a gen2 frame. That being the case, there is nothing all that special about it so go ahead and do what you want with it. |
