GLOCK 19 shortage?

[crowkiller]

Found one today after calling 6 different stores. The guy had some for $529 he said they normally sell for $499 but he had to pay $30 shipping where he found them. The serial # starts with MFR*** and the date on the caseing envelope is 12-15-08.
One thing I noticed different on this Glock compared to my others, on the barrel there is a 1 stamped between the GLOCK stamp and the pentagon stamp. Anyone know what this means?

I bought mine in October and it begins with MFM.

Just saw two brand new ones--on Friday--at my local shop. They were selling for $519 each. Of course, they probably sold over the weekend!

Almost every gun shop I hit in the Tampa area this weekend had a bunch of them in stock. Price was about the same. Are you sure your gun shop isn't just letting a few out at a time to hype the hysteria?

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?

Mike -

I have a few spare NIB 17's and 19's if the need is there. Think I even have one LE model 17.

Shoot me an IM.

Just picked up a 17 dated 01/09/09 from my friendly LE distributor (G&W).
They have a bunch in stock. LE package is $399 plus ship with three mags.

No, I went to Bill Goodmans Gunshow and called 7 different shops and only one had them and he had to get them somewhere other than his normal distributor. Davidsons Gallery of Guns and Buds Gun Shop didnt have any in stock on their websites. Maybe its just around here I live in southwest Ohio. The shop I usually deal with are great guys and they had not jacked the price up on any of their other Glocks or any of their other guns so it wouldnt prosper them to just let a few out at a time.

Do they have a website or contact number?
