Sent a used G19 up to Glock to look over. Received it back within 2 weeks and from their list, they replaced all the internals. The only thing original is the slide, barrel and lower frame.

Shot it at a friends a couple weeks ago and it did great! I took it to the range yesterday putting another box through it and the G19 did great.

I used Federal 115 grn target ammo from Walmart and this from standing open sights at 5 yrds.

Thats great.

How did you get a 1st gen G-19? They were not available to the public. It's most likely a gen-2.....Any pictures?

 

[Teej]

It doesn't really matter to me 1st or 2nd gen. I bought it used from a gun shop, I believe the serial number puts its production in the early 80's and it had a NY1 leaf spring. And I mean it looked like a "leaf" spring...

But again, I don't care. They rebuilt it and it is working great for me...

Please post a pic of your G19 gen 1. I am obsesed with the early g19's.

If it has the "checkering on the front and back of the grip, then it's a Gen2. If it's smooth all the way around, then you have a Gen1, which may be a collector's item that could be worth some extra $$$$.

And I don't want to change my thread topic. My G19 does have checkering on the front and back of the grip if you want to call the a 2nd generation, ok. But I thought the 19's came out during the Glock 17's second generation. I mean they have the 2nd gen 17's frame, but as this is the time they 1st came out, aren't they technically 1st generation 19's?

Well I can't go back and change the thread title so how about this, I sent and old, 80's model Glock 19 back to Glock..........

Why the attitude?

You don't have a first generation glock 19 from the early 80's. You have a second generation Glock 19 from the late 1980's. And you sent it back to Glock and got the internals replaced and it shoots like a Glock. Fantastic! Enjoy.

PS: If you did by chance have a 1st generation glock 19 you would be advised not to send it anywhere near Glock or let them get their hands on it, no telling what they might do...replace it with a 4th gen :supergrin:

Thanks, I like your overview better. My error on the generation. I keep slip ons over the grip. Really enjoying shooting it!!!

Easy there Francis. No one is trying to ding you on your terminology, folks just get excited when they hear of the possibility of a Gen1 G19 in a GT member's hands. There are some out there, and while not the Holy Grail, they are extremely rare and we'd all love to see one.

 

[bac1023]

Pics?

I imagine its 2nd gen.

+1 on that. Even if its a gen 2 I would love to see pics. I love ALL early generation glock's.

 

[17L1]

Please post a pic of your G19 gen 1. I am obsesed with the early g19's.

Here's one for ya....

 

[High Altitude]

Teej, the reason everyone here is so interested/critical is because the 1st gen 19 is one of the rarest glocks out there.

Be positive, you learned something new about Glocks and your pistol, it's a gen2.

 

[toshbar]

Looks like a Gen1 to me.

 

[guns54]

I dont care what gen it is,Nice shooting.

 

[High Altitude]

Looks like a Gen1 to me.

The pic is, but that isn't the OP pistol.

 

[DRAGON1970]

Looks like a Gen1 to me.

The grip was re-worked. It is not original.

 

[G27G19]

This (not a Gen 1) thread is gonna get a lot of hits.

It's original. Just as it came from the factory.
