GLOCK 19 shortage?

[crowkiller]

I have not been able to find a Glock 19 anywhere everyone around here is out of stock. The main dealer I go to said he has backordered 15 from all his distributors and nobody knows when theyll be back in stock. Anyone know why the shortage?

Obama. Since his election everybody's been buying the dickens out of everything they can get...that includes Glocks. Dealers in my area were having trouble getting them even before all of that. The dealer I use for my transfers hasn't had a 9mm Glock in stock since July. He says they just can't get them.

A good friend (and long time Glock employee) told me at SHOT that the company is over 100,000 pistols backordered right now. That's not all G19s but ... that's a lot of guns.

Dang this sucks! I did see one today at the gunshow but the guy was asking $579.00+tax. He came down to $550.00+tax but I passed I figured they would be back in stock soon.

I tried to contact Glock and see if I could get one of those great deals since I just transferred to my agencies enforcement section.

I got transferred to a voicemail. Admittedly, this was yesterday evening around four.

Still, who do I need to call?

Check pawn shops. You'd be surprised how many decent used guns you can find there sometimes.

No real problem finding G19's here.

I set out to purchase a G17 Friday and found out all the Glock distutors in the area are out of 17 and 19 and aren't expecting anymore in till end of March. I figured the G19 would be hard to come by, didn't expect the 17 to be.

Might be time for a G20!!
