re: Question regarding Glock purchase

I carry a Gen 2 (have for a very long time). I like them because they don't have the finger grooves -- and thus fit my hand better. I have a few (one for carry, one for range work, others as "spares).

You are correct in thinking that $450 is a bit high -- unless it is in very good ("minty") condition (no holster wear, low usage).

One dealer recently sold a batch (8 or 9) of Gen 2's on Gunbroker. They were police trade-ins from Washington, DC PD. All had had some visible holster wear, and most sold for $330-375. BUT one had very light wear marks and sold for $425. During that same time period I saw two other Gen 2's sell on Gunbroker for $425 and $450 -- both were almost mint condition (in photos they looked brand new).
