I realize this depends on many factors, I just wanted a good idea what one pays for a glock 21. over 500, under 600?

Do prices differ quite a bit when considering differenc calibres as well??

Thanks,
Doom

Law enforcement price is $464. It looks like they can be had from several sources on Gunbroker for about $100 more than that.

Just ordered a G21 SF with Trijicon night sights w/ 3 mags...LE priced at $574 out the door:D

[TheGreenRanger24]

What's a Glock19 worth right now? I know where I can get one for $500 stock. (Also, that is a good first pistol to buy, right?)

[larry0071]

Around here I see them at $535.

I'd say that's a good price for a new one, and a good first pistol as well.

[Dr.Doom]

Thanks gents!

Glock v. xd

pros and cons of both?

I paid around $530 3 months ago IIRC- no night sights.

You might want to do a search- there are lots of threads about that subject and it usually ends in XD owners crying and getting butt hurt.

[Dr.Doom]

Do you like the grip on the 21? Ive handles one, but never shot it. I have shot my friends xd and loved it. But am drawn the the 21. But like i said, Ive never shot it.

[hatt]

The M&P45 is nice, as an alternative to the GLOCK. The XD is really the third wheel in this race.

[larry0071]

Shoot yourself in the face for even asking that question here....LOL!!!!

I asked it and got so bored with the bantering over how bad the XD was, I stopped reading the thread that I created. It was disgusting!

Feel free to read it all, but forst go get a beer and some pop-corn!

My 21SF eats ammo my 1911's choke on. The 13+1 capacity means huge grip. That's the only thing I hear people complain about. If you have big hands, it's a non issue.

Very smooth shooting gun.


*Let's not turn this into a Glock vs. XD vs. M&P thread* stay on topic or start a new thread please.

[Gentoo]

I wouldn't fret the huge grip unless you simply can't get you hand into a proper shooting position.

How a gun subjectively feels isn't always an indicator of how it shoots. Give it a try before you rule one way or another.

[Dr.Doom]

I may have settled on an M&P 45. NIB out the door at 600. Is this a good deal? 2 mags, plus the 2free mags with mail in.

Thanks.

Which model? $600 out the door doesn't sound too bad. Actually probably a smoking deal at any stores around me. The free mags are a nice bonus as well.

[Dr.Doom]

All I know is its the full size. The free mags are a great bonus.

[hatt]

It looks a tad higher($25-50) than what the gun can be had for. $50 isn't worth running all over the place or buying something off Gunbroker IMO.

One other thing to consider as well is the M&P45 has a 10 round mag v the GLOCK 21's 13. This isn't a big deal for me, just letting you know, if you didn't notice.

[Dr.Doom]

I did indeed notice, but im not all that worried about it. Hopefully I wont be in the situation where my life depends on having 13 compared to 10 rounds of .45 lol.

So should I haggle them down 20-30 bucks, or just buy it?

Have you looked around at any other stores and see what they have? I really don't know what a rock bottom price is on a non LE M&P45. I also hate haggling for a few bucks. I ask um what they'll take and either buy it or move on.

[Dr.Doom]

I hate haggling too. I am on a budget though. This is the only place in town to buy guns, unless I want to cross state line. I dont think I want to deal with that.

[decodeddiesel]

$600 is not a bad price at all for a new M&P45. Buy it and enjoy it!

[Irish]

Bass Pro, which is known for high prices, has the M&P .45 for $629 here in Vegas.

I think thats exactly what Im going to do!

Thanks for all the help guys.

I bought a M&P9C with box/3 mags and night sights for 519

When? If it was more than 6 months ago then that price is irrelevant.

ETA: should have read your post more clearly. That is a hell of a deal and you should be proud, but that is not an M&P45. From my research locally the M&P45 and the M&P9 (of any flavor) have a huge price discrepancy. For example one local store here had the M&P9C for $520, but had the M&P45 with ambi-safety in the same case right next to it for $640. You will pay a premium for the 45s.

[Dr.Doom]

2 more questions, is the midsize more expensive, and will I regret the 10rounds as apposed to 13? Somebody else brought this up to me. It doesnt seem like a big deal, but people keeping commenting on it. I do not shoot comp., just want it for home defense.

The midsize shouldn't be more expensive but take that advise with a big grain of "market availability" salt.

When you mention 13 rounds what are you talking about? The magazine capacity of the M&P45 full size and mid size is 10+1. Without sparking a huge caliber vs capacity debate here (we really don't want to go there) I would imagine 10 rounds of high quality .45ACP JHP will solve just about any problem you may encounter assuming you know how to run the gun well.

What it really boils down to is what do YOU shoot better and which would YOU feel more comfortable with?

Youve been alot of help with all my questions. I thank you sir. I only worry about size because I may be getting my conceal carry at the end of the year. Mag capacity is what Im talking about. I didnt think 3rounds was an issue, but like I said, its been brought up.

You got the LE price. You're not going to walk into a regular gunstore and get that deal. That's like saying regular price on GLOCKs is $398.

[ccoker]

they can't sell Glocks to non LEs (I am not LE)
but they can sell S&W to non LE

[hatt]

S&W may have looser rules than GLOCK? I did see a S&W list one time and it included about anyone who ever worked for the government in some fashion, even volunteer firefighters.

[diving dave]

Well, I scored...fellow officer I know sold me a Glock 21c, 3 mags, only about 900 rds through it...$300.:D..He didnt want it anymore. Currently having grip reduced. Will be replacing my 1911 as a duty gun. Love the 1911, but too finicky with our duty loads.

Yes, that would be a score.;)

[ccoker]

agreed!

[ROADKING]

Whatever you get i would go with a GLOCK they are very reliable, The G19 is one hell of a gun.
