The gun shop/range I shoot at has had a brand new Glock 17L (long slide) for several months. I usually look at it when I go in and fire off a few dry shots... It has an excellent trigger feel and seems to fit my hand perfectly... You can tell where this story is going...



Today I was talking to one of my buddies that works there and I asked what he thought the Hunting Manager would take for it. He said the manager doesn't usually budge on price, even though it's been there a long time. They want $639 for it and it doesn't look like they want to come down.

I'm having a tough time evaluating the price because they don't sell them any more. I know that the GSSF price for a G34 is $507 and it looks like the retail G34 is around $600.

Is that a bad price for a new G17L? I'm pretty sure it's a third generation G17L... It has the picatinny rail and the finger grips... I would probably still get a 4th gen G34 when they come out... just probably not as soon as I have been planning.

What do you guys think?

I think your right it is a 3rd generation

On the lighter side jb your only going to live once buddy. If it is something you really want and can afford it....But then again who am I to give advise I buy pistols to match holsters

Unimportant but that's a std GLOCK rail. The Pic rail is the one that looks like it has teeth. They only offered that on some of the G21SF models.

On the price .... it really is hard to say as they are only made every few years and in very limited numbers. If I ran into one locally I might be tempted as well .... just because. Like sfguard said, "You only live once." How far out of line would the price be? Prob no more than $50 I suspect. Pocket change.

I vote get it ... then report back. If/when you decide to sell it ... call me first.

It would still be cool to own and shoot. I say get it. Heck, now I want one.

Ask and you shall recieve there Volgrad glad to help. Be sure to let us know how she does LOL. Also, jb here is one just to see what it goes for right now it is a little over $600 with 19 bids on it and 4 days to go. That in mind $639 out the door is pretty good. As your not paying shipping or a transfer fee or anything and like I said this one has over 4 days left. Who knows what it will go up to. But if nothing else it will give you a good idea of what they are going for though.

Buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it.......... and then send it to me.

I don't know how old you are, but you don't know when it will all end. Are you current with all your debts (not paid-off, just current)? Is anyone in your house need food, clothes, medicines, etc? You know whether you can afford it.

You want it? GET IT. If, somewhere down the road, you ever have to sell it, you won't lose much.
