I just scored this early gen 2 at my LGS today, my second one in about two months. I had a couple before, but had to give them up due to hard times. My other one was made in 1990, this one has to be an '88 or '89 as it has the Austrian proof marks on the slide, frame, and barrel. Like my last one, it has the all black internals and lacks the frame relief cuts behind the locking block. I will be sending the bare frame in to Glock to have it updated/upgraded. I'm really excited, it's so clean I'm not sure it has ever been shot as there isn't the slightest hint of a smiley on the barrel.
In addition to having the Austrian proofs, it also has the model number in the little circle on the trigger guard. I wish Glock still did that, was kinda neat. The only thing that has me a little baffled is that this has an adjustable rear sight. I know that the 19 and the 17L were introduced at the same time, but I wonder if the adjustable rears were ever offered as an option on the 19, or if the PO added them at a later time. Regardless, I'm pleased with the purchase.
