Paid $569+tax for a Gen 4 Glock 22, from a local gunshop, ripped off or normal pricing?
On another note, I'm going to be in the market for a Gen 3/4 G19, any opinions on getting new or 2nd hand after all the fuss recently about them? Also just visited a different shop recently If I remember correctly I was quoted a Gen 4 G19 @ $505 otd, sound gtg? |

That's about what they go for at one local shop around here. Another place is $525. I don't pay that, but that's what the prices are.
Gun prices are a regional thing just like cost of living, fuel and groceries. Pay the price locally or find an FFL and buy one off the net. You got a new gun, life is good. 
$505 OTD for a G19 is a good price in my opinion, if that's the correct price. |

I'm still looking n vain for all of those $250 G17's I keep reading about. |

Honestly? Sounds normal for a new gun local which is why I try to avoid buying new local when I can. It's not a bad price if you want it. I'm just a cheap ass.
I snagged a Gen3 G22 for $335 OTD at GT a little over a month ago. I'm satisfied with that purchase. I just added a GLock tac light for another $65 yesterday. Makes for an excellent nightstand gun. YMMV. |

All the gen4's in my area (arizona) are $550 before tax, I wish I got my 19 for $505! |

Prices aren't just regional, it is also based on greed. Here in Georgia we have one store that sells all Gen 3 and Gen 4s for $499 except the large frame (20, 21, etc). Other local stores sell their Gen 4s for $30-60 more because they can. People don't shop around enough and wind up paying what any gunstore asks.
The store I buy my Glocks from has very fair prices and $499 for a Gen 4 is about as cheap as I have seen them anywhere. |
