[ARCHIVED THREAD] - OD Glocks (Page 1 of 2)

| I give up, wave the white flag |
| There's a rumor that Glock is going to be producing a limited run of FDE G21's to be sold exclusively at Bass Pro, for something like $700. Hopefully, they see the renewed demand for these things and start producing them in all calibers and drop the price to normal. |

It is simple supply and demand when it comes to the prices people are paying for OD Glock's. Senecca green Nylon 66's still fetch more than twice what a standard brown one goes for due to the rarity. It seems just about the time Glock decided to discontinue them due to slow sales, guns with polymer frames other than black started getting popular.
Every year at SHOT, I ask the Glock reps if they plan on reintroducing the OD guns. Their answer in 2011 was an absolute no. They said they are selling the black guns as fast as they can make them and to slow things down to do a run of OD frames costs them more money than if they just keep churning out black ones. This year the rep told me that if somebody wanted to place an order for something like 15,000 units, they could probably accommodate them. Take that for what it's worth as I have learned over time that many reps really don't have the most accurate info and really are just looking to sell what they have available. Only time will tell whether or not they will start making OD framed guns again, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did at some point. |
| I bought both of mine when they were still in production and paid retail for them. I have no plans to sell them, so I'd actually like to see them released again. I'd like to see limited runs of Gen4's in OD because I'd like to get a Gen4 at some point in the future, and all the better if it's OD. |

I saw all the exclamation points in the thread title and assumed something really amazing was going on in here.  Obviously nothing amazing going on here, I was just browsing gunbroker and saw a used OD (FDE) 19 with buy it now price of $899 and it was already bid up to $750. I just thought it was amazing how a few knuckle heads with too much money can over pay for an item, that is only different by color, and drive the price up of said color firearm. I say, save a few hundred bucks and Duracoat or Cera Kote it, like I said, just a quick rant. I understand that's the way the "market" is. |

Wow and to think I traded a G38 (45GAP that I traded an Optic to get) for mine... OD19 that is. |

I hope they do re-release them. I was a green 19 to go with my green 26. That way I can pick up a black 26 and have matched pairs. ....or you could sell me your OD 26 to go with my OD 19. then you could still buy a black on and have a matched pair. I thought about that but I couldn't sell it to you. You are a member here and know enough not to pay what I could find some sucker.......errrrr......buyer on gun broker to sell it to.

| I had to call Glock about a parts order yesterday. While I had the customer service rep. on the phone, I asked him about the story I heard about a run of FDE Gen. 4 guns coming out later this year. He said that it was his understanding that a small run of about a thousand guns in FDE were going to be made for Lipseys and that they were going to be retailed through BassPro Shops. He was unsure of the time frame for release but it would be later this year. I did not think to ask what models were included in the run. |

(......and maybe they looked at the EE here to see how much the average OD Glock was going for  )

I will use Aervoe Coyote Brown on your glock frame for the wee price of $300! Seriously though, I think the OD glocks looked sweet as hell, but was unaware they cost much more. Why not just green it yourself with spray paint for $3? As far as I know, when they were readily available, the price was the same as the black models. Demand for the OD models was slacking, so Glock stopped producing them. Places like BudsGunShop actually had sales to get rid of them quicker. Then, once they were all gone from distributors, and no more were being made, because no one wanted them.......................everyone started wanting them. People noticed this, and with the lack of supply, the price rose as sellers tried to cash in on the supply/demand pricing. |

They need to make one in "nude" so that when I buy a shirt and leave it in the dryer for an hour so it shrinks to baby-T length all folks see is... nothing, except a G26 blending into my rippling abs when I reach for something on the top shelf.  Don't worry, your love handles will cuddle and conceal any color Glock as they flow around the pistol.

I had an OD G26 but sold it due to finding other platforms that work better for me.
I think the appeal of the OD color is that Glock makes the same gun, in the same slide/frame color with the only variations being caliber and size. If you look at the other poly guns you have OD/dark Earth/Black/Green frames, stainless slides and some with other further enhancements. Let's face it, Glock=gun. It's simple and does what it needs to do, like a grocery getter car.Nothing special, but it gets the job done. Having nothing but a pile of the same black gun in different sizes and calibers is boring, but that's Glock. Many people like it and that's cool, but it's nice to have something a little different now and then. I think they should come back out with the OD and introduce a few other colors like green, grey and dark earth for starters. I'll probably buy another Gen 3 G19 someday just to have that basic gun in the line-up again.

| Yeah, I guess it happens when something is threatened to be removed or is removed, it seems everything comes full circle. I'm sure we're all nervous for election time and what will happen to our beloved toys, by value of course!! I pray for those who buy into the OD (FDE) Glocks!!! |
| Wish I still had my Gen3 OD 19, I'd throw that sucker on gunbroker in a heartbeat! Yeah it'd be nice if they start making OD frames again, I'd like a Gen4 19 to go with the black I have and FDE I'm getting. If they do start production on od frames again, I hope they're going to be od and not baby poop brown like they were. Foliage green would be even better. |

Yeah, I just saw that they released the Gen 4's in FDE! I'm going to roll on the floor and laugh now...maybe just chuckle a little Joke's on you, ODs are still going for 7-800 in GB. It's not rocket science but some people here can't seem to get it. ODs have appreciated in value not because of any functional attributes but simply because they are unique and "rare" (relatively speaking) because Glock stopped making them. The introduction of FDE changes none of that. |

Quoted:
No, I get it, price gouging and stupid people buying them for those prices. People couldn't give OD green ones away before Glock stopped making them. They were less popular than .45 GAP, lol! Typical gun world fashion. No, you don't. It's not price gouging when it is bid up at an auction Supply and demand, it's pretty simple.
|
|
Key word was "and", price gouging by the starting bid being high AND stupid people bidding on them, I know that's the general feeling for Gunbroker anyway. If someones willing to pay for it, higher prices will happen. I am more disgusted when fellow members are trying and sometimes succeeding, to sell OD Glocks for $750 plus. I'll just have to turn the other cheek and let them deal with it. I do realize supply and demand, I just said it would be funny if they brought the color back for normal price.
Remember, Bud's Guns was selling them for $450 or so brand new because they weren't moving them at all, just about six months before Glock announced they weren't making that color any more. |

Either way, I just bought a Gen 4 FDE 19 for the same price as a normal Gen 4 19, the color seems real nice. The color actually almost perfectly matches my FDE FN 5.7 pistol, but not my FDE FNP-9, lol.
35mm Shooter, I didn't want to argue about it...I was letting people know how I felt about it, lol. Think about the KSG shotgun from Kel Tec, they're fetching almost double than what the originally projected MSRP, due to a short supply. |

Lipsey’s Guns just announced they are the exclusive distributors of new flat dark earth Glocks. They are shipping 9 models now including G17, Gen3 and Gen4, G19 Gen3 and Gen4, 21 Gen4, G22 Gen3 and Gen4 and the G23 Gen3 and Gen4. Eight of the models will come with coolor matched FDE accessory backstraps. The G21 backstraps are (inexplicably) black.
Lipsey’s tells me their pricing is staying the same, though what dealers do is up to market forces. They said they approached Glock and ordered between 6000-8000 of each of the nine models. That’s a lot of pistols and should earn them a good while on whatever exclusivity agreement they worked out with Glock.

I've noticed a ton of FDE glocks up on the EE once the new FDEs were released. I don't know what all the hype is about but I do think it's funny how people are coming out of nowhere to try and off load there $750-$800 Gen 3 Glocks. The FDE glocks were released in one big batch... Hence, there is a "temporary" flood of them. Kick yourself later when demand is through the roof. |
| I love my FDE Gen 4 19, this is my first 19 and my first Gen 4! Feels great in my hand, looks great, and only bought the FDE because they were just becoming available when I was in the market for a G19. Price was $569.00 shipped and I just installed a nice set of Ameri-Glo's on it. |
