Just curious to see what type of numbers are out there. What did you spend on your G19? What Gen? Before or after the gun/ammo "fear buying"? New or used??
My shooting buddy borrowed my Para Ordnance P-14 & shot it with rings on his finger, marked the front strap of my para, so he traded me his glock 19 with holster, 3-15 round mags & a 33 round mag + $150 cash for my para 45.
Gen3 back in summer of 2011. $650 NIB. I could have gotten in cheaper, but every other LGS would have had to order one. I wanted it that day. Those who are impatient pay the price.
$599 box stock in the middle of the panic. Didn't need it, but wanted it.
Updated picture after I got it setup to my liking.
Upgrades are.....
10-8 Performance Sights, fiber optic front, serrated black rear
Vickers Tactical extended slide release/stop and mag release, magazine base pads
Surefire X300 Ultra
Zev Tech Fulcrum trigger that I had from another GLOCK
and last, the GLOCK medium beavertail backstrap.
In the last week, picked up a new Gen 3 19 for $509. Had a good sized GC to Gander and got them to PM an LGS that had them in stock. Would have been 499 had Plainfield had them in stock.
A few weeks before, picked up a new Gen 3 23 for $499 @ Plainfield.
2003: 3rd gen with 2-10rd mags, $325.00. Has the "Tupperware" case and papers.
Added 15 rd mags at $21.00 each x 3. Also had night sights installed $145.00(price of sights and a 15 min install.) Shoots perfect, became a Duty Weapon for 6yrs. Now a HD gun in the nightstand. No regrets.
