As you probably read on this forum last week, the Gen 4 19C USA pistols started popping up on Gunbroker.com and in the LGSs without any announcement from Glock. I'd been wanting a Gen 3 19c or 17c and been looking locally unsuccessfully for one so I snagged a 19c on www.Galleryofguns.com using their Gun Genie feature last Wednesday evening and the FedEx hit my local dealer yesterday afternoon (still waiting for them to check it into inventory so I can go pay the balance and pick it up). When I ordered, Gallery of Guns had 4 in inventory but were gone the next morning.
On Monday I noticed that GalleryofGuns.com created an Item Number for the 17c that previously didn't show up in a search but were showing it at 0 inventory. I've been checking back regularly this week and the inventory still shows 0. Just a few minutes ago I decided to click the product detail link and that page showed 18 in inventory. It allowed me to go through the whole order process and put a deposit down on one. When I go back to the search it still shows 0 in inventory and the item detail page still shows 18 in inventory...who knows if they have them and I'll get it or if they will cancel my order and refund the deposit.
I thought I'd put it out there for anyone else looking for one. If you want a Gen 4 17c and if this is a limited production run, this may be your best bet for getting one. The best offer price of the local retailers participating in the Gun Genie service was about $554 + tax (including fees and shipping).
