Looking for Pricing and Options on the Glock 17 Gen 4

I’m considering buying a Glock 17 Gen 4, but I’m not sure what the current market price is. I’ve seen a range of prices online, and it’s getting a bit confusing. Here are some specific questions I have:

  • What’s the average price range for a new Glock 17 Gen 4?
    I’ve seen listings from $500 to over $700; is that typical?

  • How about used models?
    If I’m looking for a second-hand option, how much should I expect to pay? What condition should I look for to get a good deal without sacrificing quality?

  • Where’s the best place to buy one?
    Is it better to buy from a local gun shop, an online retailer, or a private seller? What’s the trade-off in terms of price, warranty, and support?

  • Are there any specific features I should be aware of?
    Besides pricing, are there specific models or features I should consider when looking at the Gen 4 variant? What options or accessories would enhance my experience with this model?

Understanding these points will help me make an informed decision. If anyone has recent experience or tips about purchasing or valuing a Glock 17 Gen 4, your insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

The price of a Glock 17 Gen 4 usually ranges from $500 to $700 for a new one, but I’ve seen some great deals on used ones around $400. Location really matters though.

That’s a fair range! I bought mine last year for $550 new at a local shop, but it was on sale.

4

If you’re buying used, check for wear and tear carefully. I got a used one with some scratches for $450, but it shoots perfectly.

5

That’s a good deal! In my area, new ones typically cost around $600 at most retailers.

6

Locations can really skew the prices. I’ve seen Glocks priced between $700 and $800 in states with stricter gun laws. So frustrating!

That’s interesting, Farley. What state are you in? Prices can vary a lot, but some online retailers have decent prices with shipping included.

I feel your pain! Availability during the pandemic also jacked prices up. Hopefully things stabilize soon.

I’ve noticed that some retailers will have seasonal discounts. It’s worth keeping an eye out for sales during events like Black Friday.

True! The last one I saw was during Memorial Day; I almost snagged one but missed out.

You could also try checking local gun shows. I’ve gotten great deals there, but you have to do your homework first to know what a fair price is.

Good point! Plus, you can often haggle a bit at those shows, which adds to the fun.

Honestly, no matter where you buy, make sure to do a background check and purchase from a reputable seller. It’s essential.

14

I wonder how much they are overseas. I heard they are so much more expensive in Europe due to restrictions. Anyone know?

15

I’ve heard they can run almost double the price in some countries because of taxes. That’s wild!

16

I’ve seen Glock 17 Gen 4 prices range from $500 to $600 depending on the retailer. It’s worth noting that it typically costs a bit more than the Glock 19, which averages around $450 to $550.

17

That’s a solid price range. Compared to other brands like SIG or Smith & Wesson, the Glock 17 Gen 4 is competitive. Many find it a reliable choice for the price.

18

Interestingly, if you’re looking beyond Glocks, pistols like the M&P Shield often sell for under $500. Just a thought if you’re open to other brands!

19

That’s true! The Shield is a great option, especially for concealed carry. But the Glock 17 is known for its performance.

I adore my Glock 17 Gen 4! The price is justified by its durability and ease of use, particularly for first-time buyers. Just be sure it fits your hand well.
