Same here, @SAWBONES. I bought my first Glock, a 12/88 built G19 while working down in Miami. It was carried on and off duty through retirement. Too much a part of my past to part with.

There's nothing civil about this war.
Back in 2004, I had a dude with a Massachusetts FFL show up at the shop where I worked in Knoxville, TN. He was in town for some convention or another for his day job, but he hit all the local gun shops during his off hours.
He had a list of cutoff date serial numbers for each Glock model and anything in the showcase with a lower serial number, he bought for cash on the barrelhead, at our retail price on the tag, with no dickering. I'm sure he made a profit that was worth the hassle.
Nothing like the government's thumb on a scale to make markets wonky.
Carl@4 seasons is a solid guy. I don't know how long they'll last there, but gen 2s are a hot commodity for those in MA without the special glock handshake. They usually keep a wall of gen 2s.
You guys have no idea how lucky you are compared to us Massholes. Old, busted glocks, and only "Pre (Maura) Healy 2016 AWB" rifles. Towns that will only issue target/hunting LTC, or restricted LTC for the first year. Purposefully opaque Laws designed to trip us up to set precedent. We basically have to become Law students to get our Rights

I know there's a Tennesseean (?) Or 2 that makes a living collecting old pre AWB magazines down south to sell to us poor Massholes. Rusty old metal Parsons, FN, Colt AR mags with some provenance fetch $40 around these parts.
Most of our gun stores are a joke. Every thing has to be on the AG'S safe list. Eg, new glocks are too dangerous for the Peons. 10 lb triggers are almost mandatory. A lot of manufacturers won't even submit their new guns for Mass compliance testing-not worth the hassle. One day I'll taste freedom...
Its a joke up here. I have a formally anti friend interested in getting something for home defense. I explained the process to get a license (just to own BTW) a pistol and he couldn't believe how convoluted and expensive things were.
My favorite argument to make is MA gun laws are regressive and target low income working folks. Someone like me who is lucky enough to work a white collar job that allows me the time off and provides and income to afford the nonsense can get a gun, but a working stiff that can't take time off during the week is basically unable to.
Sorry about the rant, but thank you for sending more free guns to MA.
Just curious...
Is there as much remunerative interest in Gen 3 Glock 19s, or just the out of print Gen 2s?
