Who here has some rare factory glocks to share?

Closest I have is a early(1989) gen 2 19 with the Austrian proofs but I wouldn't really call it rare more uncommon

The only truly rare and extremely valuable Glock I know of is the Gen1 G19. Only ~ 200 were made by Glock using a cut down G17 frame...

There is a member here who has two of them. Hopefully he shows up to post pics.

The RTF2 22C is maybe the rarest of all factory Glocks. I think there were only 50 or so made.

I don’t know if it was rare. But definitely odd. I came across a factory gen 4 19 that didn’t have any markings on the slide.

Probably an aftermarket slide.

I had an RTF2 Glock 19, not super rare but not super common... then I got sick of having a cheese grater against my skin and stippled it. No ragrets.

Glock doesn’t really specialize in “rare”, “uncommon”, “special”... or even “innovative.”

Best you’re gonna get is low SN or a true Gen 1 (not imported to the US in any notable quantity) unless you get into 3rd party aftermarket mod shops

Maybe I'm wrong but stuff I'd call fairly rare

Gen 1

Gen 2.5

Gen 2 C

Gen2 17L

What else?

Not rare. Not real common though, either.

I've got a gen 3 19C w/2-pin frame.

The only rare Glock I know of are the gen1 G19's.
The only one's I know of are the ones that went
to Kansas (alcohol something or other). They were stamped
as well.

Both those gen 1 guns the member here has are from there
if memory serves.

The hard to find are gen 1's, gen 2 "C" models, RTF "C", gen 2 17L
but certainly NOT rare.

Not rare but I’ve never seen another in my travels;

I wound up with a Gen 3, OD green, 27 as a part of a trade. It was back during the color-in the markings fad.

ETA - the barrel and slide are simply stamped CZxxx

Not sure how rare they are but @BorderDave posted a G47 a few posts down. As far as I know us peasants can’t buy them yet.

Rarest/Most uncommon that I’ve see in person.

1. Glock 18

2. Gen 2 G17L with factory compensator ports cut out.

3. Austrian proof marked Gen 3 G19 (Obama election European imports)

Posted: 4/20/2021 6:04:42 PM EDT

Not especially rare November 89. US KPXXX

They had just stopped stamping those cool proofmarks on pistols destined for the US. Pre-safety upgrade; and the trigger is better than any other stock trigger I've ever tried including the 34.

Kinda cool to see my picture shared around different forums. I took this picture several years ago at the Firearms Museum in Cody, Wyoming. Not a great pic, lighting and plexiglass made it hard to get a good pic. This is indeed a rare gun, only 2 in private collections without KS ABC markings. The only thing rarer in my guess would be very early Generation 1 Glock 17's that were made prior to importing to the United States. One for sale here, currently over $11,000.

Did they make an RTF2 19C?

Posted: 4/21/2021 8:10:37 AM EDT

[#26]

I have a 2.5 G27. Not terribly rare, but it js a conversation starter with the smooth finger grooves.

Besides the early guns and RTF2 variations, I think the factory roll marked specific agency marked guns are neat. I would love to find a Jacksonville Sheriffs Office Gen 2 G17 with the JSO patch factory engraved on the slide.

Posted: 4/21/2021 8:35:46 AM EDT

How about un-factory updated Gen 2 21's? Any extra value?

Posted: 4/21/2021 9:53:32 AM EDT

[#28]

I wouldn’t say it’s super rare or anything but I really like my Austrian-proofed 19.3
It has a fantastic finish and just looks cool with the markings.
I’ve had several people comment on it and ask where they could get one.

Before the boating accident, I had a Gen 1 21C (ported)

If that's considered rare, I have a pic of it before it sunk to the bottom of the lake

A Gen 1 Glock 21 would be the rarest Glock in the world, never mind a 21C.

I don't know.....maybe 15 years ago, I had a serious quest to get one of these, constant searching, joining forums and posting questions. I would have paid "anything", eventually I let it go. I ended up acquiring a few gen1 17s, but not the damn 19 that I wanted. I managed to acquire some cool guns back then (mp5, mp5sd, mac 11) but I am going to say that gen1 19 is the one that got away.

We both have gen 2 G19 that were made very close together.

Many of later "DXxxx" ("D"s) G19's went to Smyrna PD.

This is a Smyrna PD gun.

How rare are the factory threaded barrel / suppressor sights Gen 3 G19, G17, and G21 in the metric left hand threads? From what I remember, they kind of came and went. Here’s my G17 (G34 slide release is not factory on my gun).

Posted: 4/21/2021 7:33:52 PM EDT

[#40]

I thought this was semi-rare too. Gen 3 G19 RTF with non-fish gill slide and night sights. G34 slide release is not factory on this gun either.

Were the Vickers Gen 3 RTF guns considered rare too?

You must mean gen 2

I've seen a few gen 2 C but not very many

Thanks all for the replies I enjoy the pictures I'll have to dig my
2 Austrian proofed gen 2s out for pics

I used to know what the CTD ment but I for the life of me can't remember

I have a 2.5 G27. I've never seen another one of them in person even when 40 was a desired caliber. I got it for cheap too about 10 years ago. $250ish. From a retiring cop that used it as his back up gun.
