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?

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!!

No shortage...Glock is producing as many or more pistols than the normally do. It's the demand. Sales are up 40-70% depending on where you're looking. Many people are wanting guns, even the people who voted for Obama.

The only ones here that seem to be OOS here are the ones in the LEO package. I called the dealer a few days ago, and he said he will take orders for them but does not have an ETA. The regular packages he did have in stock at regular price though.

There are plenty of guns to go around from other brands.

Glock 19's have become very tough to get because it got serious after Obama got elected. People stopped BS'ing and reverted to tried and true.

When it counts, go Glock

I just bought mine about a month ago at OMB in Lenexa, Ks. Paid 399.99 for it with 3 hi-cap mags. They had it ready when I got the paper work done. You might also try Keisler Defense, Im pretty sure they take trade in's if you care for a used one.

That's how I looked at it when I bought my G17.
The only reservation I had was a M&P9 with TS, which I still haven't seen yet.

I ran into a friend and long time Glock employee also at the range this morning (probably the same gent "C.E.". He told me the same thing. The fear of the kenyan socialist imposing a presidential order forbidding importing of foreign guns.

I picked up a new G-19 last weekend. I had been looking for a little while and not seen any. A friend went into a local shop just as the owner put two into the counter. He immediately put my name on one and gave me a call. By the time I got there the second had been sold.

That makes my second 19. Now we have one for my wife and one for me

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?

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.

Hard luck finding them out my way as well. I am hoping to pick up a 2nd soon. That being said the Rep at shot said the 19 that will be offered with the new grip texture will not have finger grooves or have a thumb rest... I like that idea very much I just hope they will still be legal by then.

Working at a fairly large gunshop down in Georgia, I have to say that a Glock 19 is almost as hot a commodity as a Ruger LCP. The LCPs last a matter of minutes when they come in and the Glock 19s have been lasting about 4 hours from when we put them out. It is almost absurd at how fast some stuff has been selling.

My recommendation to anyone is if you want a Glock 19 and find one, buy it now.

02-05-09, 08:02
Police supplier that I bought from in the past is out of most Glocks. Of course being a PS they sell for below MSR than the other shops in the area. The other shops still have plenty of Glocks for sale if you're willing to pay MSR.

First of all, I'm not opposed to someone buying a pistol whenever they want for whatever excuse/reason they feel like using. If you want one, get one. No further explanation of how someone spends their money is necessary.

Beyond that, the number of people that have a panic mentality that the number of days remaining for them to purchase a handgun from a dealer are dwindling is just amazing. Worried how much longer they can do a private party paperless transaction? Maybe. Worried how how much longer they can buy new standard capacity magazines? Maybe. Worried they might not be able to buy new semi-auto rifles with specific scary looking features? Maybe. A little paranoia isn't always bad if it gets people to plan ahead for things they might need. But worried that they won't be able to buy an auto loading pistol from a FFL in the very near future? Sorry, I just can't get there from here. Not yet anyway. Seems Heller was specific enough to cover that.

Now, if anyone gets upset please read my first paragraph again.

The new G19's that I'm referring to are a ways out yet. That being said they want everything when it comes to guns. If you believe that the Courts ruling on DC is the end all be all tell my ppl living in DC are still having serious issues? I'm buying what I can but that's the way I am, it doesn't matter whose in office or what legislation is being discussed.

I would agree that not being able to purchase from a FFL in the near future is not likely. Planning ahead is a good thing. I did not have any hi cap or 9mm pistols and thought it would be a good excuse to kill two birds with one stone.:D

i just perused 3 FFL's in my area.

unbelievable ... nary a 9mm Glock in sight.

plenty of .357, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP's in stock, though.

One FFL mentioned to me that there was a large foreign .mil order that contributed to the backlog. On top of the panic buying.

I was at the local goon show this past weekend helping a friend do some shopping. I had suggested that he look at the Glock 19 (as well as the S&W M&P 9) based on his criteria and pricepoint. Only saw three in the entire convention hall and some of the larger dealers had none, but plenty of Glocks in the other calibers as you seem to have noticed.

I got a G17 last week and will pick up a new G19 either this week or next week. They are becoming a little scarce in this area but shopping around some will turn a few up. With the G17 I turned up 3 or 4 dealers that had them and went with the best price ($500). I also plan on two sets of night sights and the install/adjustment tools for them.

Man, I'm really becoming a Glock fan again. Must be in the blood:p

02-14-09, 19:56
My FFL said his distributer visited glock about 10 days ago. They are shipping 5,000 pistols per day, but have a 190,000 pistol backlog they are trying to catch up on. Pistols are getting shipped every day, but demand is outstripping their ability to get them out.

I just picked up a G36 today, but I had to go on a wait list for about 3 weeks before a disttributer got one in. I hope it settles down a little soon, but seems like the demand is not going away.

I just picked up a new Glock 19 from a local dealer in northern Virginia. They have been out for about 4 months now but got a small handful in. There are import marks on the frame, barrel, slide, and stamped Glock Inc Smyrna, Georgia on the bottom of the trigger guard on this one.

It was a red label with two 15 round magazines. This is a brand new gen 3 model with the finger grooves. It also has a metal front sight and the SN begins in KUYXXX. This Glock was made and assembled in Austria which is strange. I think because of the huge backlog in the states they pulled some 19's made in Austria to sell here.

There was two left at the shop when I got there and I was very lucky to have been at the right place at the right time.

Unless something has changed in the last month, Glock hasn't even made a final decision about whether to do models other than the G22 in the RTF configuration.

ToddG
02-15-09, 08:44
Have you handled a RTF frame yet and liked it, or are you just assuming it's better?

Of the experienced shooters I know who've shot the RTF, they're split 50/50 on whether it's better or worse than the regular Gen3 gun.

BigTinVA
02-15-09, 08:59
Yes I have handled the new RTF frame. I shoot 3rd gen. G17's and G34's in USPSA and I shoot them without any skateboard tape on the grips. I think the texture of the new frame offers the feeling and advantages of skateboard tape without having the adhesive tape added to the grip, which I dislike.
I don't think that I would care for the new frame for everyday carry. I think it would be a little too abrasive on your clothing, car seat, etc. than I would want. I would definately shoot that frame in competition though. That frame is definately more tacky feeling than it looks. I have not shot one yet though.

ToddG
02-15-09, 09:13
FWIW, I haven't shot one yet, either. I expect to play with some of the FBI's within the next couple of months. The complaints I've heard haven't been about the tackiness of the grip but the change made to the grip contours, particularly at the front strap. Some folks find it more boxy and less comfortable. Personally, I didn't have a problem when holding or dry firing it at SHOT but there's only so much you can tell about a gun without making it go bang.

BigTinVA
02-15-09, 09:18
I totally agree. I would definately like to spend more time with one and shoot it. I did not notice a boxy feeling when I handled it, but I am a fan of the 2nd gen frames too.

The new serrations feel more "grippy" to me, as does the grip itself.

Sadly, my dealer didnt have one with night sights or I would have got it. It doesn't look all that great, but the changes serve their purpose. And I wanted a 9mm.

Glock has imported a number of G19s from Europe to fill the gap and these have all the Austrian proof markings like the older G17 and G19s. I'm going out looking for one today but if anyone sees one of these please let me know.

For those of you who have handled the new Glock design, what did you think of the rear slide serrations? More or less ability to grip the slide than the current serrations?

At best, it's a wash. Quite a few folks, myself included, feel it's actually less useful than the old design. As one Glock employee said to me at SHOT, "If anyone thinks that's more than just for looks, they're a dumbass." Will you find people who say it works better for them? Sure.

No doubt you'll have plenty of kool aid drinkers who think that this is the new more-than-perfect Perfection, and like any new Glock it will sell well. I don't think you'll see a lot of serious shooters dumping their Gen-3 guns for RTF models, though.

ToddG
02-16-09, 08:51
At present, Glock is making two versions of the G22: Gen3 and RTF. At least as of SHOT last month, it was undecided whether they'd be making other RTF models. There is no immediate plan to standardize RTF as the new Gen4.

Picked up Specialty Sports Supply in Colorado Springs' last one one on Saturday, $509+tx :D
From what I gather these went to "high volume" dealers only. Upon coming across this info it made sense to me(and I'm sure anyone else who's been to this particular establishment)if anyone in the great state of Colorado would be considered a high enough volume dealer it would have to be Jeff and Co smack in between Fort Carson Army base and Peterson Air Force base. It's also my understanding that despite the serial number prefix's KUV, KUX, KUY, these pistols were made in December of 06 per the date code "AOH" stamped on the barrel hood(Thanks Butch ;)) Based on that info it looks to me like 3000 pistols(maybe 4000 but have no confirmation as of yet of another group of 1000 pistols bearing prefix KUZ)were sent across the pond.
After having gone months without seeing any G19s in stock anywhere in northern Colorado, or Denver for that matter, I just happened to call Specialty at the right time Friday afternoon, and my Saturday was planned for me. Despite having to drive 270 miles round trip, I still consider myself a lucky bastard.:p:cool:

Damnit! Where did you find it? If he finds you a blue label can I get dibbs on the one he has on hold for you?


Sorry, went back and got it today. He called their blue label supplier and they said they didn't have any (he was looking for the three prefixes seen so far KUV, KUX, and KUY). I didn't want to take the chance of not getting one of these. But Tommy is right, there should be around 3000 of these if they imported everything under the prefixes listed above. He just got this red label in Friday, it was luck I saw it. I first heard about these Friday evening on SIGForum. There are a couple topics on GlockTalk about them too. If 19s are so hard to find lately I'd say any new ones will be one of these Austrian proofed models. He's still going to get me a couple blue labels when he finds them. I'll let you know when he does. BTW, there are pics in the above mentioned topics. He cut me a deal since he knew I usually get blue labels, $489+tax.

EDITED TO ADD....He said they got it from Accusport if I remember right.

Have the prices gone up on Glocks. They are still $549 with NS at my local dealers.

I still think its funny that as soon as Obama got elected Glocks got rare while other brands get dusty.

The prices I saw both locally and online went up a touch. It became harder to find a NIB G19 w/ standard sights for less than $500. I had to go through two different dealers to buy three 19s for under $500 each. Locally, stores are demanding $600 :eek:

Have you handled a RTF frame yet and liked it, or are you just assuming it's better?


I played with the RTF they had at shot and must say I liked it allot. Now this is coming from a non glock cool aid drinker so take it for what it is. The gun felt smaller and more pleasing in my hand making it point a little better. The texture was very nice imho not like front strap checkering on steel but much much better than the glock frames they had sitting next to it.

Local cop friend has one on order supposedly and as soon as it comes in I plan on buying a few boxes of rounds to put thru it. I am excited.. the scuttle butt I got from a couple reps speaking of a G19 RTF without finger grooves and thumb rests. Thumb rests I don't really care about but the finger grooves suck, IMHO it would be a step forward. It is supposedly going to be the third model made obviously this could all be bs but I'd be one happy consumer if it happened.

The glock guys were something else as depending on who you talked to you were told all kinds of different shit. I asked a few guys if glock every planned on making a model with an adjustable back strap.. I was told on a few occasions that they do not work and they are hearing reports on "Epic failures" due to seat belts wearing on the moving part.. news to me.

I spent a couple hours at my local shop today and they had plenty of Glocks on display, including 3 G19s ... and more in stock in the back. They had plenty of everything, as a matter of fact.

I don't know about where you are, but down here in Miami 19's have been hard to find for a long while--UNLESS you're an LEO. None of the stores I frequent EVER have a 19 on hand to sell to a walk-in customer. They may have 10 LEO models in back, but none for civies.

This is kind of cool - I just bought another brand-new 19 tonight, and this one is one of the Austrian proofed models. It is a little differently marked than the standard US guns. The proof mark appears above the trigger guard on the right side as well as on the side of the slide below the extractor, and where the US guns say "Made in Austria/Glock, Inc, Smyrna, GA" this one says "MADE IN AUSTRIA G L O C K Ges.m.b.H."

The proof mark is repeated on the top of the barrel hood, and instead of just "9x19" it says (where && is the proof mark) "&& AOH 9x19".

Mine says the same.

As I'mGatMan says, we've been having trouble finding pretty much anything Glock recently. Another vendor I spoke too said that they were selling a few used Glock's for the regular retail price of a new one and that the punters were grateful to get them. At the moment it wouldn't surprise me.

I got a G17 two weeks ago and a G19 last week. Had to drive two hours to get them (both at the same dealer). Local dealers said their next Glock orders were 5 weeks out.

I'm much more worried about hi-cap mags than all handguns.

Geez, Quiet. How many 19s does that bring you up too?

Five. I really am a 1911 guy, but I can't set up five spare 1911s the way I like them because I can't ****in' afford it.

I recently bought two G19's because of the high marks they get here. Last weekend I bought a 26 to compliment the 19's, and bought a quantity of mags for each. All three were just under $500 each,and while dealer stock is down here in central Ga., you just have to check around a little more often.
BTW, I'm really liking these nines, enough so I'm unloading my .40's.

Saw one today, part of a FXS package that included some rail mounted laser, standard sights, and a range bag for $599. My dealer just laughed when I rolled my eyes.

Regular ones should be in the end of the week.

Just came in and I an snagging 2. The both appear to have Austrian proof marks on them so I would assume they were made in Austria. Have not seen that in a while.
