So i'm about to buy a Gen 4 17 and came across a used Gen 3 fish gill Glock 19 RTF2 with one magazine for $450+tax locally. Should I fo on this? I REALLY like Gen 4 mag release and recoil spring. I do like the RTF texture but would have to get an undercut no matter what to make it serviceable.





So should i FO on this? Or stick with what i wanted in the first place and get a Gen 4 17 NIB for around $525

If it was me, I'd FO hard on the rtf, but because I have a vickers Glock and I love the rtf frame, but if you like the gen 4 get the gen 4,,

But let me know where I can get that rtf at

Seriously, PM me where it's at.

I would go Gen 4.  





I'm eyeballing a Gen 4 19 myself now that I haven't  heard any brass to face stories in a while.  Then I'll get one of my Gen 3s cut down to 26 size on the grip to make a hybrid carry gun.

I just remembered that I saw a vender in the EE selling an excellent condition PD trade in Gen 4 17.

You can get a NIB blue box Glock 9mm or .40 for $400.

The fish gilled 19 is somewhat rare. I sold one for $800 a while back.  Find a fish gilled 23C and you can name your own price when you want to sell it.

Buy the fish gill for an investment because they're kind of hard to come by.

personally id ask 400 425 and buying some ammo in house but that's me.

Then again the seller might have put too much money in it

RTF.

If you don't buy it, PM me the details so I can contact the shop and have it sent here.

Never owned a Glock so I was wondering what is the difference between a 19 Gen 3 vs Gen 4 and why exactly would one be better than the other?
I still see several G19's that are Gen 3 for sale NIB for fairly decent prices.

This. Would love to have a 19 with gills to match the 17.

At the very least you could buy it and sell it for a profit.

That's a good deal on a rare pistol.

An RTF Gen3 is the only G19 I'd want to replace my 2nd Gen G19.

450 seems reasonable.

I would rather have a gen4 19. Except buy used to save the tax/BG. Should be $450-500.

The BEST is a Gen 3.5 aka the RTF2:


I just wish I had the fish gill slide to go with my frame.

Well then your all going to hate me, cause I bought a used Gen 3  G19 RTF  years ago, and stippled and modded the frame.. I hated that RTF... like my stippling much better...

I have zero regrets...

I love the texture on my gen 4. I think it's similar to the RTF2 frame. If you don't want the bigger mag catch, get the RTF2 gen 3.
