Post; Sold a GLOCK and bought a GLOCK....


I sold my older Generation 2 GLOCK 17 for a Generation 3 Mark I GLOCK 17.

It was a birthday gift for myself....

Nice. I wish they had never added those damn finger grooves, though. My hands are huge and I find it more comfortable without them. Can't wait till I'm 21, I'll be joining GLOCK owners everywhere when I pick up the 10mm. By the way, how does that extended mag affect the balance? I've never been able to try one out because I live in NY.

That's the extended mag? Not one pulled out almost all the way?

Very nice!

What improvements are there on that one compared to the old model?
And how much does one cost over there..
I haven't checked the price here in Norway yet, but I would guess that it's around or over $1000 USD for one here...

What's the difference in the two, and how do I know which I'm buying, since I'm picking up a 17 soon?

The Generation 3 Mark I has the following difference from a Gen 3 or a Gen 2.

The Gen 3 MK I has Finger Groves, Light Rail, and the extractor also is a loaded chamber indicator.

Gen 3 has all the above features minus the loaded chamber indicator.

The Gen 2 has no finger grooves on the grip or a light rail. All of the new GLOCKs are Gen 3 MK Is.

$1,000 USD for a GLOCK in Norway?!?!?!?!?!?! Holly Crap. I pay $398.00 for a GLOCK. And they're being shipped from Europe.

Norway is expensive...

The only one I've found online in a Norwegian store is this one for $1033 USD (5290,- NOK):

But it's probably possible to get it a bit cheaper than that as well in other "offline" stores..

That a police discount, 5.56x45? In the Sportsman's Paradise I've only seen them in Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops for about $540.

Many happy returns Luis. You young rich bachelors make me envious at times like this.

I've never had the chance to try a Glock, but I'll certainly take up the offer if it comes up. I hated the idea of "plastic" firearms originally, and that was just the fore end on a FN FAL, (In 1966) but it seems to be the way things are going.
