Thats a little cheaper than mine, but I don't get LEO discount. Thats the first time I have seen someone post the reciept of what they paid, just odd to see that for the most part they have stayed the same price for the last 20+ years. Nice gun, would love to have a couple sitting in the safe to show my kids one day.
Im putting it up for sale. I need a 23 for work. I'm getting people telling me its only worth 250-300. I'm looking at more like 450-500 or if I can trade for a NIB 23. I showed it to my instructor and he said in the condition its in with everything I could probally get 2 23's. I doubt that....
Thanks, still trying to fiqure out how to do that.![]()

There was a Gen 1 19 that came up for sale here (I know its not a 17, but still a gen 1) and it sold at $385.
Neat piece though, I'd find something else in your collection to part with.
I wouldnt sell if for 300, the problem with getting more is you need to find the right person that wants it. The mags are worth alot to someone in a restricted state, hell seems like some of the mags have gone for close to 100 before. But not sure how selling mags to someone in a restricted state goes.

Did you keep all the original black parts when you replaced the upgrade parts?
No the black parts must have been changed out when it went back to the factory in 91. But I have all the parts I just replaced.

Please explain the term "black parts". As you can tell, I am new to the glock world. Thanks in advance.

The original trigger group parts which had the tendancy to wear to a point to cause unexpected and uncontrollable doubles, triples, and full auto, were the same black phosphate color as the rest of the gun. When Glock redesigned the contours and dimensions to prevent this, they also changed the finish to a hard chrome, because there had been a seperate issue with corrosion on the small parts. (Small parts are not given the tenifer treatment.). Thus, all the "upgraded" trigger parts were/are chrome. Therefore when we speak of original trigger group parts, they can/are referred to as "black parts".
Thanks for sharing...I would suggest hanging on to that pistol; if necessary take a loan for the G23. In it's condition, with ALL of the original papers, etc, it's worth much more to someone out there...But I'm sure it's worth plenty to you as well! KEEP IT TOGETHER & KEEP IT ORIGINAL :wow:

The ad has expired but it was an FFL dealer out of Ohio who sells a lot here "twogunjay"? or something like that. He had it up and it sold as quick as it went up...I was 2 minutes too late. In the ad it said this is indeed a true Gen1...not sure if it was true but like I said, I see his ads up a lot.
