You are correct, after you posted this reply I finally found a good reference page. https://rttgunsgear.com/2019/12/glock-generations-how-to-tell-them-apart-very-simplified/ So based on the fact that it is NOT a Gen 1, should I go ahead and customized it the way I want?That's a Gen 2. $400-$600 depending on if.it has the frame relief cuts and how fanatical the buyer is.
Gen 1 Glock 19s go for several thousand and typically start a bidding war. They're rarer than hen teeth.
That is why I am asking, I personally only like to modify firearms knowing it can be restored to original.Serial number prefix says it's an early 90s gun.
Looks clean, sad to see it go under the knife to become a kustom.
Well, they certainly aren't making any more Gen 2s. You're probably better off selling it and buying a more common one like a Gen 3 or Gen 5 to modify.That is why I am asking, I personally only like to modify firearms knowing it can be restored to original.

I have a Glock 19 series 1. Recently at a gun show I was talking to someone about modify the firearm and cerakote it. But once I realized it is a Gen 1, I am wondering if I should modify it. Is it worth more to keep it all original?
I have the box and magazines. I thought it was so old that it was Gen 1 but it clearly is gen 2. I will not modify this one.... Well i did switch barrels for a suppressor but have the original.That's a gen 2 my friend. If you had a gen 1, I would have already found your location and dropped cash in your hands.
It's dated for around December of 1992 so it is a pre-ban gun. If you have the original mags, box, etc.. it would sell well to a buyer in Massachusetts. Definitely not uncommon but still brings a little bit of a preimum compared to a gen 3 to the right buyer.
With no box, docs, and standard post ban mags, $450-$550 to the right buyer. With the box, docs, preban mags, etc. $550-$700 to the right buyer.
If it was a gen 1, you could name your price for the most part. They are hen's teeth.
About the same as any other Glock. They might be worth a 100 bucks more. Again depends on the buyer and their desire for it. It also depends on if the original box, loader, mags, rod, brush and owners manual are with it. The label is important as well.Not trying to steal your thread but i also dont want to start a new one.
Op if youd like me to start a new one i will.
I have a gen 2 21 with box. Can anyone tell me value?
He would have dropped a bunch of stacks in your hand! There is rumored to be only about 35 original Glock 19 Generation ones. They were originally bought by the Kansas state Alcoholic beverage commission officers. The last one I saw for sale sold for 24,000 bucks.That's a gen 2 my friend.

Thanks for the info. Didn't think it was worth anything crazy. Just unsure if it was kinda rare or not.About the same as any other Glock. They might be worth a 100 bucks more.

Ha, Like I thought i had a Series 1 because it was so oldThanks for the info. Didn't think it was worth anything crazy. Just unsure if it was kinda rare or not.

What exactly do you do with your Bitcoins?I know at least one that changed hands privately for more than $24k. I know where a few are but have always missed the chance when one hit the market privately or publicly. There is at least one or two that weren't Kansas guns.
I've been very close before but the owner got cold feet. Luckily I'm friends with a lot of other collectors so if something comes about, I will hear about it.
The sad part is that I would do absolutely nothing with it.
Thanks, and good to know that you do not have to travel far to buy some guns off of me. Where do you shoot? I was a member of Greenville gun range but let my membership lapse, I might join the Clinton Plantation.Oh...and by the way, I see you're very new to the site! Welcome to CFF! We've quite a family here!
And Greer is not that far from home for me, in Simpsonville.
There is a collector market for gen 2 guns like this one so the box will make a little bit of a difference to the right buyer. In general, standard gen 2 boxes aren't worth much. Early gen 2 boxes do a little better. Gen 1 bullet boxes are where its at. They bring a premium.Heh...because the box is worth soooo much!
I love how boxes are valued so much! I guess I can kind of see that for rare guns and such...but in general, it's amazing how much people at least expect the box to drive the price up on the average gun sale!
I enjoyed being a member of the Belton Gun Club when I lived in Simpsonville but that was over 7 years ago. Very nice facilities and ranges when I was there, especially if you liked shooting shotgun/trap/skeet etc.Where do you shoot?

Don't even get me started on the early Gen 1 manuals.
It's crazy to see for sure.

Is it an Arotek laser install on the laser equipped one? I always thought those were NEAT. AND way ahead of its time.Got two gen 1 17s in my collection. Boxes and all. And one with Glock laser on trigger guard ,wire is in the frame. Oddity.
Yeah, @GoWolfpack and I recently talked about how some people seem to think having the box for any old run of the mill gun automatically means they can jack the price up.
Many of my guns came in cardboard boxes...my AMT Automag II, for example, and every new long gun I ever bought. As far as I'm concerned, those are nothing more than cockroach food which serve no purpose to keep around.
Now, gun boxes that are actually functional plastic gun cases? Yeah, I can see paying a few bucks for them, but certainly not Pelican Case prices.
And, of course, wood cases are in a class all their own.

1989 (production date) would be a fairly early Gen 2 19. A collector or two might be interested in it. Certainly worth a premium over a standard glock 19 with the completeness considered.I bought my G19 in 1989, so I suspect it is a gen 2. I still have the tupperware container and everything it came with. Guess I'll keep it.
Like @GoWolfpack said, a 15 year old Glock 22 box doesn't do much for me or most folks. But a 1990 or 1991 early G22 with original box, manual, loader, etc.. should do a bit better than any run of the mill G22.
This is why I curse my younger self. Not for turning down an invitation to go to the movies with Heather and Jennifer who were 'bored and looking for something to do' because I had to go to the freakin' CS lab like a retard, but because I lost the manual to my original gen 2 G23 purchased new by me. Dumb college kid.

I think it's funny that we're all in this massive game where none of us really wants the box to a gun but we all keep them because someone else might later, so we have to keep it for them.
You’re right. I have a box or two of boxes. I was just trying to decide (for the hundredth time) whether to throw them away. They’ve even moved between houses with me. A couple I think I don’t even have the gun for anymore!
Hmmm... Sold someone else's inventory and netted half the profits. That's an enterprising sister.Few years back my sis asked if i had glock boxes i didn't want. I used to have quite a few and the boxes piled up so i said sure and sent her 15 of them. By end of the week she had sold them all for 25 each... ebay i think. She sent me a check for half. I was shocked how quickly they sold.
