Saw a G19 Gen 2 (no finger grooves) at my LGS today and looks to be in mint condition. I would like to ask if there are things I should be aware of or look for. Also, what would be considered a good price for one? This one comes with 2 Preban mags and original box.

Thanks!

Congrats on your new gun. Enjoy it and shoot it.

Early G19's had a thinner slide lock spring which was prone to breaking, there's a new thicker version that's much more durable. If the one you're considering buying has the old thin version I'd replace it with the new thick version.

How much?

How much?

The price is $400 OTD. The condition is mint, copper grease still in the slide.

I would jump on that before someone else does.

What would it be worth if I kept it in mint condition?

$400 if you kept it as is, I shoot GS24XUS, never replaced anything, have not broken anything (yet) at least 5-7,000 rds down range.

You havn't bought it yet? I would.

I normally would, but just bought 3 other guns this month alone. I already have a G19 Gen 4. I was looking at this more as a collector. Really, really tempting.

I think the Gen 2 G19 is the best looking Glock of all time.

I'd do that about instantly. I'm not sure that it would gain much in the next few years as a collectible but I am also sure that whether you shoot it or not you would be able to get that back in the next few years.

Good point. I might have to sell one to get this. It's just a matter of me wanting it bad enough to sell one from my collection. I don't normally buy just because it's a collectible and normally shoot the heck out of anything I buy. This one just looks too good of a condition to do that.

There was another Gen 2 in the same condition but its a G17 with an original Glock light/laser.

Decisions, decisions...

For $400 I will jump on it!

I had to replace my Gen2 G19 slide lock spring this past year. I bought my gun in 1989.

If it were me, I'd replace the RSA & springs to give me peace of mind. If you're really concerned, try to find a local Glock Armorer to inspect it.

 

[CGP]

Thanks for the tips. I'll check next week and see if it's still there (I need to build funds). Apparently, it's been sitting there for over a month with no takers. I just happened to look in that direction and saw it inconspicously place where people would normally miss it. They also have a ton of cool stuff so people don't even look in that area.

Id of walked out the door with it initially
