Wow that could be interesting

 

None available up here for small LE orders until at least late fall / early winter. They told us that last month

 

Lots of Sigs have been sidelined. Something will have to take their place.

 

None of the COAs are on any interesting Glock models any dang way.

A G17 COA would be the only tempting gun in 9mm para-weakness that I'd consider.

 

What about the 47?

 

OMG. What can we do to get one?

 

Enlist in the Air Force? 🤷‍♂️

 

What does this mean exactly?

 

If true, and you were planning to buy a Glock with a COA pre-mounted (there are five; G19, G45, G47, G48 and G43X) then you probably should act fast, because they will be out of stock for a while.

I'm still working on confirming this but I don't think Lenny would post this without backup.

 

Hmmm, if it is for a US gov contract…which branch/org would utilize this?

 

Yep, I’d bet they are about to make a switch to Glock. Might be great for the US as many have been wanting a Glock with an external safety for years.

 

I got mine.................................................

 

Well if this is true, I'm happy I just got my 19 COA.

 

I'm complete newbie regarding dots, but what's the advantage of these compared to say holosun SCS? To me these aimpoint seem massive...if you had the choice G19 with one or the other, which one would you pick?

 

I have the Holosun and love it. The advantage of the COA is that the dot is fully-enclosed and therefore more resistant to damage.

That's not enough of an advantage to me, though. I think they look ugly as sin. But for industrial use I can see an argument for something this robust.

 

 

Wow! When Lenny tells it , it’s got to be true! Wonder which Military ordered all the COA’s?

 

What Lenny says has got to be true? He just said in that video that the EU has 50% tariffs into the US so Glock prices are going up dramatically. Only it's not 50%. It's 15%. I think he knows that.

 

That kind of confirms a strong theory that I and others have mentioned time and time again. Glock is more interested in military/leo sales (contracts) than civilian sales. And that’s a good thing.

Your opinions, yes or no?

 

Yes. Business has to survive and thrive; the big LE/Mil contracts are where it's at (I think).

 

They were overpriced anyway.

 

Depends on how you look at it.
Commercial/retail G19 MOS is $620
Commercial/retail G19 COA is $970
Difference of $350 for the COA optic.

$350 for an enclosed optic isn't bad considering an alternative Trijicon RCR is $700+.
Or a Holosun 509T is around $430.

Blue label G19 MOS is about $480
Blue Label G19 COA is about $805
Difference of $325 for the COA optic

 

Dang, this will have a huge effect on me. No, no it won't.

 

I’m despondent; a broken man.

 

I am sure Gunbroker will have them doubled in price by tomorrow night.

 

I have one Glock with a Trijicon RCR and the Glock 19 COA. The COA beats the snot out of the Trijicon for speed and accuracy.

 

Millenials: (cue whiney voice) "Now Im gonna have to remember how to use iron sights."

Gen Z: "What's an iron sight?!"

 

Glock provides numerous NATO nations with sidearms for their services. As to the tariff issue that remains to be seen. If the DoD put in an emergency request for procurement of an item like sidearms they still have to abide by most of the laws governing the item. Some regulations/constraints can be waived. Military and LE contracts rule, it’s all about the Benjamin’s’ !

 

The COA Glocks maybe great , but not a fan of a mini TV set sitting on my pistol.

 

I prefer the mailbox Acro P2. Just waiting to find a pistol I like to mount it on.

 

Aberrant, agree! Attention to detail is key!

 

Aimpoint may have to catch up , the German Army just ordered like 120,000 CZ P10Fs I believe with installed Aimpoint enclosed emitter dots . Probably not all in one batch but they can only crank out so many so fast

Military contracts get preference

The German Army with CZ 10PF’s? Very interesting.

 

I am one of the lucky people that obtained a blue label, 43X MOS COA. The Glock with the COA made more financial sense than putting a RMR CC on my other 43X MOS. As for Glock’s decision, though it is not good that civilian and individual officers are no longer able to purchase the COA pistols, that’s the way it goes, suck as it may.

Now to address COA prices on a certain gun selling brokerage web site that shall remain anonymous. Some gougers have listed their price as $1499.99. Though I am disgusted by their greed and that’s exactly what it is, it is their right to sell at these prices. Hopefully no one will be foolish enough to pay said prices because they must have one and have it now. Hopefully the gougers will sit on the pistols as unsold and get exactly what they deserve, nothing. Remember, once the COA pistols are back on the regular market and selling for normal prices, that $1,499.99 pistol will be worth all of $970.00 and not a penny more.

That’s my two cents worth.

 

Fair guess:

Homeland (HSI/CBP/ERO) is likely ditching the P320 for a Glock. Their budget is through the roof right meow. Glock is likely being eyed as a replacement, because CBP and Border Patrol runs them. Glock may also anticipate other agencies ditching the Sig (ie: Washington LE academy ban).

They have also phased out older models in 357 and 40. This could just be a streamlined business approach for supply and demand for contracts, general sales with anticipated supply chain issues due to tariffs? Are they going to release a Gen 6?

I could be wrong. But this is an interesting time to watch Glock.
