No, no, no...you gotta keep up! It's Hi Andrea now!!
OK here is my obligatory Glock speech
Glocks are legal in MA
Dealers are not supposed to sell you a new one
There are creative ways to get one, that involves buying it in pieces, then filing a eFA-10 within 7 days of it being able to fire a shot.
There is the used at gun shop market
then there are private party sales that you will find here on NES.
Do not pay stupid money for a $600 dollar gun.
I like Glocks, in NH used there isn't a used one in a FTF sale that has sold for more than MSRP if still in stock configuration
Tons of them in the 475 dollar range... Gen3 Glocks that are really nice guns
There is no reason to pay stupid money for a polymer pistol, as I said great guns at MSRP or less, more than MSRP there are much better guns out there for the money.
G17? What are you using it for?
The G17 is a brick, and if you are using crippled magazines ( we'll have the discussion about buying over priced 30 year old magazines that the plastic is turning to crap later) then you are carrying a lot more weight than you have to for an incremental increase in grip area and sight radius
Anything in the Sig P365 line is going to be dollar for dollar a better buy IMHO in MA unless you find someone selling for what they are going for in a "free state" like NH, FL, etc.
Have you tried being taller?For those of us who carry on a permit rather than a badge or uniform, G17 is a great knapsack or competition gun.
I liked 1982!Shooting a Glock is like being trapped in 1982.
Have you tried being taller?
I carry (AIWB)a G45, and could equally carry the G17. It's not that bad, if you're proportioned for it.
We all work with what we've got.I stood on my tippytoes this morning - I'm still short-ish.
I am however working on my proportions - down 40+ lbs since October.
Still not what you'd call a "slim girlish figure", but I could potentially abdomen carry now whereas before I absolutely couldn't.
hmmm
We all work with what we've got.
Improving our health is the best investment we can make. Keep it up. Then treat yourself to more dives and less ballast.
(I'm sure you're doing better than me when the timer beeps, too.)
Im kind of in the dark on most things, having been out of gun game for so long, a gen 5 from classifieds sent me email, I said I was interested.Create account on Gunbroker, buy G17 and choose FFL at the Mill to have Glock shipped to. Go Green and PM me and I'll tell you what FFL to choose.

(...more confused...)...unless you just mean to look at only...cause I cannot buy new from dealer, right? I 'outer limits' website that he had some listed, so I could go there and look at them (...unless the website just meant he was showing ones he could order...)OP try Northeast Trading in North Attleboro. Ask for Ted, he might have a few brand new Glocks for you to take a look at.

Gunbroker is a website, there are hundreds of slightly used Glocks very cheap for sale, some with night sights because they're LEO turn ins. I've bought a few recently.Im kind of in the dark on most things, having been out of gun game for so long, a gen 5 from classifieds sent me email, I said I was interested.
I wont be carrying, just some fun casual shooting.
so this sounds like I buy one from this "gunbroker" ('at the Mill?') dealer, he sends it here...goes to my local ffl where I could then pick it up? I have ffl close to me, called 'outer limits pro shop' in holbrook, mass.
It’s bad form to disclose that type of information on NES.OP try Northeast Trading in North Attleboro. Ask for Ted, he might have a few brand new Glocks for you to take a look at.
