Glock's OD is almost the same color as Magpul's FDE.

Glock's OD is almost the same color as Magpul's FDE. While your example of Glock OD might closely resemble MagPul FDE the color in general was very inconsistant. I've seen some Glock OD models that looked Desert Tan, some looked Olive Drab Green, and some looked Flat Dark Earth. It's really a case by case basis. Quoted:
Is it just me or does od stand for olive drab as in olive drab green. Why do all these od green glock pics look like fde or flat dark earth. Everyone have cheap cameras? Yes, it does technically stand for Olive Drab Green. Yes, the huge variance in white balance settings on different cameras will make it almost impossible to compare the color online. |

I've never even seen a picture of a truly o.d. Glock...they all look doo-doo brown to me. Why would anybody want a brown/o.d., etc. frame with a black slide, anyhow? What's the point??

There are people paying upwards of $1000 for a lightly used OD Glock on Gunbroker all day long. So I would say there certainly is a demand out there. However it's completely artificial from the fact they are not produced anymore. The irony is when in normal production nobody wanted OD models so Glock discontinued them. Now they are no longer made and "rare" they are instantly a collectors item and heavily sought after! Go figure. |

First pistol I ever shot was an OD G34. Got me hooked on pistols, Glocks, and OD Glocks all at once.

I like mine. It's true that it is hard to properly represent the color online. These 3 shots all have somewhat of a different hue.

The box has been opened once at the dealer to view the serial number. I have another one that I put 100 rounds through. I don't even have $1k in the two of them

The requirement for the Joint Combat Pistol included an FDE color frame. Glock figured they'd make the color very close to FDE, but slightly OD as well so that if any customers wanted OD they could hit two birds with one stone.

OD Glocks:
Cust: "I don't want one!" Glock: "These things aren't selling, discontinue production!" Cust: "You mean I can't have one? But I want one NOW!!!" |
