Yeah I came across one earlier today in my local LE store. Put some money down on it, cause I didn't' have my creds to finish the sale. Went back later and they had closed at 2 pm...
Have to wait until Monday to get it.
I was on the hunt for a blue label USA 4th Gen a while back but never found one. With Glocks it doesn't really matter to me Austria or USA, I just think the USA are cool with the proof marks on them.
With current Production Glocks, your getting the same, Austrian made or USA made, doesn't matter. Way back when things may have been different, slide finish etc, but other than the roll mark and proofs, there isn't any difference now.
From what I have been told, by some of our LE guys at Glock, the USA made guns are actually produced here, frame, barrel, slide most major parts. They are made of the same grade steel that is used in Austria, and made on the same machines they use in Austria, I was told Most all of the machines here were moved from the plants in Austria originally. Everything is made to the same specs and so on.
I currently have an Austrian 19.5 and the USA one I came across today, honestly looked better finished overall. The finish was darker on the slide, the lockup seemed tighter, and the rear sight was centered.
Since I never located a USA 4th gen, this was a no brainer and plus I always wanted a USA glock. FYI, I will have an Austrian 5th gen available soon...
