I would think you could find said post using the search feature, or perhaps somebody remembers the exact name of the company and will post it. I hope this helps.

GT Distributors in Austin often sells used cop Glocks (almost exclusively Glock 22 and Glock 23 in .40-cal) in the $300 to $325 range. These have usually been shot A LOT, and are rough but still usable. Certainly not the "mint condition" the OP seeks. But the lowest price I've ever personally seen on a baby Glock was a G27 .40-cal at GT's for $389, and I thought that was a steal. I have not seen many 9mm Glocks for sale used there - an occasional G17.

Their new Glock prices are unbeatable, but you must be LEO or first responder to buy one. No exceptions.

BTW, I don't work there or have anything to do with GT Distributors other than being a happy customer.

Whoops, I stand so corrected my feet are starting to hurt.
Well, since I've expressed my lack of knowledge on the subject this far, let me throw this one out: is it true that as opposed to some other brands of pistols Glocks are "easier" (cheaper also?) to refurbish?

Glocks don't need to be refurbished. They are the AKs of pistols. They will fire thousands of rounds reliably even if you never clean it nor lubricate it. It will digest any ammo reliably. Glock 17 and 19s are even designed to be fired UNDERWATER. A Glock will work at any temperature. Police in Alaska use them in 70 degree below temperatures with 100% reliability. You may dry fire a Glock till your face is blue and the gun will not be damaged. That's why I love Glock pistols.

Note: please do not try to fire your Glock underwater without proper training from the DOD. Here's more info on the dangers of underwater shooting:

Although Glocks are fine handguns, the link you sent actually says most any handgun will fire under water ONCE and it continues to say that although Glocks may be fired underwater, that they may also blow up due to pressure. The Taurus 24/7 goes through the same stunts of driving trucks over them, burying them in sand, etc and firing them. Plus, unlike a Glock, has a manual safety and the "second strike" capability that Glock does not. Went through combat training with a 24/7 and shot 1,000 rounds in one day with it in the sand. http://www.taurususa.com/video-247.cfm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; And may I add your more likely to find a pristine one in your offering price than a Glock....although I doubt any seller would pay for the FFL for the buyer...isn't that usually the buyers responsibility (if done at all)? Oh well, if you can, do.

especially since an FFL is completely unnecessary. I am not paying for an FFL unless law requires it. Never had a seller demand that either though.

BTW, what is the price for a NEW Glock 26 at a DFW gun show? I want to know if it is worth the time, gasoline, and money to go to a gun show. I mean, is it cheaper? My local pawn shop sells a Glock 26 olive drab with lifetime repair warranty for only $500. However, I don't like olive drab. I like black. If I can get a NEW black one at a DFW gun show for considerably less than $500, then I'm going to the next DFW area gun show. Otherwise, I'll probably buy the olive drab one and paint it black.

Thanks again for letting me know what a new Glock is going for in Dallas these days!

Don't try this! Here's a video of one being fired underwater:

No idea on gun show prices, but new black Glock 26 is $525 at Academy. And Cabelas was running some special, XX amount off all Glocks until Christmas (can't remember amount and don't have newspaper ad in front of me).

That's a sad story...a really sad story.

There are pre-owned guns showing up all over the THF plus CDNN Sports out of Abilene frequently has LEO trade-ins in their downloadable catalog.

Good luck.

At these prices you are going to have to do some serious looking, whenever I need a used glock 400.00 is the most I will pay for any model, but I always spend about a week or two searching. 450.00 is the most I will pay for any model brand new, most shops buy glocks at 440.00 cost. try glocktalk.com, or do a WTS Glock search on google, it has worked for me twice. Good luck hope you find what you are looking for.

The last few shows I attended (Ft. Worth, Mesquite), did not offer that significant of a savings, so it may not be worth your time. Good news, I bought a used Glock 19 a few months ago, and for 57.00 dollars, they replaced dead night sights and the recoil spring. They do a safety check on the gun and replace any worn parts for that flat fee. This may eliminate your worry over warranty.

I bought a new g26 two months ago in black...now I wish I had bought OD!

My cost for the Glock 26 in OD is $440, in black it is $490.00. I imagine that the larger dealers who purchase in quantity may get another 5% off these prices. Good luck on your search......

I went to the Fort Worth gun show on Oct.31 a few months back and I saw a LOT of Glock's priced at $449.00. I THINK they were all new one's too. Some were more, but not a lot.

I now own ZERO guns because my wife is an anti-gun liberal who sold all my guns one day when I went to work. I am buying these guns as presents for my family members. Hopefully, they'll let me borrow them and shoot them occasionally.

I hope you looked into reporting it stolen.

Now I remember why only 2 people know my safes combination, and the other lives 2 hours away. I would be furious for so many reasons if the wife were to do that. I would think the complete lack of respect for my property and feelings would be enough to consider moving on. What else would a person like this do?

Are the $450 new prices quoted in DFW gun shows for a Glock 26 including sales tax? Thanks.
