Rarer than a Swiss SIG

The .357 SIG cartridge was first introduced in 1994 but Glock didn’t get with the program until 1997. These models fell victim to the same production changes as the ported models and the tran…

2,000 produced is the number we’ve always heard—so far no one has found one outside of those two serial banks.

 

LAtactial think you for the info. I'll just keep looking and one day if it's meant to be I'll find one. I just think that's a really cool Glock being I love the 357 Sig round and Glocks.

 

I’d say that any Gen2 357 (31 or 32) is pretty scarce. I’ve only ever seen a handful in the 25 years I’ve been into Glocks.

 

Best guess is that something like that would go for well in excess of $1,500.

Third Gen 357 SIG Glock 31s with the highly favored (by many folks) ''frying pan finish'', if they are in decent shape, are presently going for somewhere between $950 and $1200 depending upon condition.

 

M7 wow thats a lot but not as much as I was thinking though. I mean don't get me wrong $1,500 is a lot of money for a gun. But that's a lot cheaper than other collectable guns out there.

I've always loved the Gen 2 Glocks and on the 357 Sig models especially love the "357 SIG" roll Mark but I'd think those are rarer than the Gen 2 ones I've seen on image searcs that are just roll marked "357".

Well so my plan is to simply keep a look out for Gen 2 Glocks in 357 Sig and hopefully I'll find one of them with "357 SIG" roll Mark some day. However as a side note in the meantime I may pick up a Glock 17 classic just because.

 

I s'pose that $1,500 is lot, but, yeah, a lot of collectibles also serve as ''time machines'' that allow their owners to indulge in nostalgia and revisit sentimentality. If that is worth it to the buyer, I'd never be one to begrudge them for it. The Gen 2 Glocks are great pistols to be sure. I've got a half dozen each NIB Gen 2 and Gen 3 Glock 17s (in the 1990 through 1996 range) that I've been able to acquire over the last 3 years at less than $525 per copy. I think that they are potential "sleepers" in the long term collector market for their Tenifer process hardened metal and desirable exterior finishes, time will tell.

 

I happen to have a picture for you. The Trio. Gen2 31,32 and Gen2.5 33

I am still looking for the 32 with the full rollmark.........

 

One thing that was unusual about them is that they were 3 pin guns. and most gen 2's were not. Some of the 40's were also 3 pin but not all. I liked the Gen 2's because they didn't have the stupit finger grooves but did not like the half-moon cutout at the bottom of the front of the grip. I don't remember if they had the thumb dimple either and I never liked those things either.

The early Glocks were better looking without all the add-ons and it was a much cleaner looking gun. But I did like the addition of the accessory rail for practical purposes.

Any of the non-9mm models were always made with 3-pins… the testing of the .40s resulted in cracked frames and was the reason for the second locking block pin.
