| If I purchase a used Glock, does the warranty still cover my weapon? Any disadvantages to purchasing used Glocks? I have started looking at my local pawn shops, so its not off some shady character in an alley. |
on paper, i dont think that glock is suppose to cover it...h/w, they do in actuallity i bought one of my older G19s used and i sent it back to glock for some work/upgrades 100% great customer service, pretty fast turnaround (2 1/2 weeks), AND when i called for an update, they were very accomidating i'd highly recommend glock's service i've bought all of my glocks used; never any problems |

As others stated, you can buy with confidence. But they missed a major point. Aside from a cracked frame (which Glock will replace free from what I've heard) every other part on the gun you can buy cheap (except the barrel which runs around $80-100) and replace yourself. And Glocks are so easy to work on and so simple with a very small number of parts. |

You can buy new Glocks? I've never done that before! All of the Glocks I own or have owned, including 2 G19's, 3 G17's, 3 G22's, 1 G21 and 1 G23, were bought used, and all but two of them were LEO trade-ins. I've never had a problem with any of them at all, even my late-80's production 1st Gen G17 ex-PD pistol that looks like it took one or two trips skipping down the sidewalk. That's the pistol I usually use for any training classes I take or teach. Personally, I think Glocks are ugly and have no real style to them. But, the damn things work all the time, lubed or dry, clean or dirty, used or new. |
That's nothing compared to my S&W auto collection! Right now, I only own five Glocks, a 1st and 2nd Gen G17, 2nd Gen G19, 2nd Gen G21, 2nd Gen G22. I like them all, but the G21 is a little large, even with my huge hands. I'm trading into a full-size HK USP .45 next week, and that will probably result in the G21 seeing even less use. After the M&P .45 is considered MA "compiant", I'll probably totally forget that I own the G21! |
| I own three Glocks. All of them were purchased used, no problems. One thing great about Glocks, the replacement parts are truly drop-in. I have installed an extended slide lock, extended slide stop, and transfer bar. All the parts dropped in with no fileing or tweeking. So if you do have to replace a part, it's no problem. The parts for Glocks are very reasonably priced also. |
