Finally broke down

Well, it finally happened. I was walking through my local pawn shop not even looking for guns when it caught my eye: a like new Glock 17 for $350. Seemed cheap enough so I asked to look at it. Under inspection I found it has factory glock night sights and a lasermax guide rod laser (which, by the way, retails for about $300). Now when I noticed this I couldn't ask for the 4473 fast enough. Now I need to shoot it.

Ok guys, open season, give this 1911 guy all you got for buying a glock.

sometimes they look pretty, but ya know where your heart is... stick with that and leave the Glock alone. Sell it for a profit and buy you a good 1911... you'll be happier in the long run.

Well I'm not convinced as to what to do with this particular gun. I know I can sell the laser itself for about $125 at my local store ( already asked) and I know I can flip it today and make 50 - 100 bucks rather easily. Then again, if I sell it and down the road I want another one I'm looking at 400 bucks at least. So with the laser sold and replaced with stock parts ( not really a laser kind of guy) I'd be only into this pistol in the neighborhood of $250 Which is almost free by pistol standards. It probably will not get placed in the carry rotation but I can see it being a fun range toy. There are benefits of both options, but the laser is getting the heck out of my gun asap.

Don't take it too seriously. I have a Springfield 1911 that's proven very reliable. It's 45ACP, so for financial reasons, I don't shoot it as much as my Glocks which are 9mm. However, when I do shoot it, I inevitably shoot better with it than with my Glocks. It's really very frustrating.

That was NOT a good deal...

Awesome deal....That is one of the better Glocks available...it is a great all purpose gun.

Sacrilege....

But in all seriousness, keep the laser and sell the glock. There's a slim chance you'll find a use for the laser (bringing down airplanes, driving dogs crazy, slowly giving someone retinal cancer?), but other than a paperweight I'm coming up blank on uses for the Glock.

Really though that's a great deal, may your Austrian friend treat you better than mine.

I bet you could heat the Glock up and mold it to make a decent holster for the 1911. Just kidding, I have Glocks and 1911s. Congratulations.

Fantastic deal, the only way you coulda done better would have been if it was an XD!!!

Good luck on reaching out there to give the Glock a try.

"I was walking through my local pawn shop not even looking for guns when it caught my eye:"

My problem is that I never would see good deals like that on Glocks since I'm always looking past them to see something that actually interests me. A Glock never catches my eye.
