Should I Sell My 2 Glock 9mm Happy Sticks Or Keep Them .What Do You Say NES Brain Trust.

[Wickedcoolname]

I've got a couple of the 33 rounders too. They look pretty cool sticking out of my Glock 26.

 

[enbloc]

you could always hacksaw off the top of one, and the bottom of the other and after a little JB-WELD you'd have a 66-round magazine...



Then add a rubber cane tip and you will have the best load-out going...

Good on you, honestly I'd do the same, in part because i f***ing hate u notch mags, but if it helps someone out, great!

FWIW I don't blame the sellers for those prices. Weak pant shitters who are scared of the AG sneaking under their bed created and stoked that market. Back when the market was pre sandy hook the buyers were tougher and not nearly as retarded.

I remember Sandy hook like it was yesterday. I had purchased a windham plastic receiver AR with a pencil barrel the week before from a shop nib for $650.00. The more I thought about it I liked the light weight idea for in home defense but not the receiver so I brought it to the .the shop to sell and the shop was packed with buyers from all over the state. I had to walk sideways into the shop to sell it. It was the day after Sandy hook. People were trying to buy it on the way in and waving stacks of money at me. The shop owner asked me what I wanted for it and I asked what is it worth. He smiled and announced he had a window AR new in the box for $1450.00 and it was sold in seconds. Then the shop owner asked if I had any ammo I wanted to sell because he knew I had a stash. I had received 2000 rounds of cheap crap steel cased Russian 223 in trades that I didn't want to put through my pre ban AR so I told him and he whispered go get it Im all sold out. I was back in 15 minutes with the 2000 rounds in 250 round boxes. He sold each 250 round box for $250.00 again in seconds. I walked out with cash stuffed in my pockets wondering what in the world just happened and ran into a guy that wanted to sell some stuff but couldn't get into the shop. He had 1000 rounds of the ammo I had just sold and the 2 glock happy sticks that I still have. I asked what he wanted and he said $200.00 for the 1000 rounds of Russian steel cased .223 and $40.00 each for the pre ban happy sticks. I bought it all with cash right there in the parking area .I kept the happy sticks and again sold the Russian 1000 rounds of steel cased ammo for another $1000.00 in seconds. I had no idea madness had started that day but was surely in the right place at the right time the day after Sandy Hook I went home a happy camper for sure.

I remember that week well, hopefully people learned to plan/prepare better. but we know they didn't.

I actually like the metal lined preban u notch magazines better than the square notch magazines. The u notch magazines are the only magazines I'm aware of thet retain the loaded magazine in the grip frame if the mag release button is pushed by accident under stress during a fire fight. Just give it a push and your back in the fight . No looking around in the dark for your magazine thats now on the ground somewhere while a bad guy is doing a walking assault on your position. Can't do that with a square notch Glock magazine. No one ever seems to consider this feature. As for me, ill take all of the advantages that I can get.

Holy sh*t, that made me almost spit out bourbon! lol. The ingenuity too, making each picture narrower to line them up....bravo!

Holster, I dunno.

Mag pouch: buy a machete at Harbor Freight, use the sheath, discard the machete.
No, I guess that's not nearly big enough. Maybe adapt a longarm holster from a tack shop?

Mags that don't drop free are total shit in my book. Different philosophies i guess. I've never had one come out accidentally even under stress. Glock magazine releases suck enough that it's pretty hard to actually drop one by accident.

 

[gerrycaruso]

Buy one of those new 9mm Gatling Guns and use them in that.

 

[looser38]

That's what I said when they were selling for $100.00 each. Now they are asking $400.00 _ $500.00 for these fool things.

The key word here is "asking" $400-$500.
I hope to hell no one is actually paying that much.
But hey, if you can find someone to buy @ that price, go for it.
You said yourself you don't really use them, they just sit in the safe.
The only other good advice I can offer is to KARMA them.

Everything you said here is true but I'll still take the advantage of not dropping free just cuz I can.

 

[Canndo]

I sold 1 of them recently for 75 bucks.

You answered your own question. “Look stupid in the 19’s”.
Pass them on to another NES member.

I hate safe queen mags and also guns.


I have a funny feeling you won’t be using them anytime now or future.

 

[Hogie1]

So I've got these two, pre ban, 33 round, square notch, 9mm, magazines. I have two,Glock 19's, but these happy sticks look really stupid in the 19's and I doubt I'd ever use the happy sticks in the two Glocks. I have pre ban magazines for both Glock 19's as well. As a result, the happy sticks just take up safe space. Conversely, the happy sticks don't need to be fed and watered three times a day either and the prices on these things keep increasing to stupid levels. So what say you NES Braintrust? Keep the happy sticks or dump them. Got my box of pop corn ready, so let'r rip.

I say keep them, have them set up in your home defense pistols. I would not give them up.

 

[mac1911]

If you have no love or use for them , move them out.

I believe your correct. A few here have suggested a pcc that takes Glock magazines but I have a pre ban colt AR 9mm already so I don't see another that uses Glock mags in my future.

 

[Parker Schreiber]

I have a 25-round pre-ban in 9mm which I regret buying even though my PCC accepts it. The problem is that I don't have a place to shoot it fully loaded, so I don't trust myself to adapt to the change in balance. Also, given the magazine-related issues I've had with ejection issues, I wouldn't want to bet my life on it functioning "the first time" for me.

But I also know myself. If I sell it, a case of seller's regret is inevitable. After all, I may need to load those 25-rounds of ZombieMax after all.

 

[Reptile]

Pre Ban Glock 33 round that is Square Notch???

Pics or it aint real!

All sides.

Teh week after Sandy Hook, I brought all of my excess toys to FS. Carl was happy. 2 weeks later when I went to pick up the check, I was VERY happy.

I'm glad you did well with Carl but you didn't need to drive way up there to sell your excess toys. The Gun Runner right here blew through the AR and 3000 rounds of ammo that I brought him in seconds.
