wagner Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Looking to get either an XD 9mm or a Glock 19. What kinds of prices are good for new or used guns? I have looked around on-line and they just seem to be all over the place. I am looking to educate myself on what a "good deal" really is before I buy. I know to avoid Blackwing and Gander Mountain for new stuff because their prices are as high as a cat's ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Just curious, why not consider M&P? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 i think you can get gen 3 used for like 400 and gen4 for 425-450 with out evening trying that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagner Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Just curious, why not consider M&P? Never really liked the feel of them, just a personal thing. The glock and XD felt really good in my hand and that is big for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pointslow Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Low to mid 400's, if you search hard enough you can find gen 3s in the mid to high 300's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1fast5gp Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 There is a used XD9 Subcompact at vances for 349.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I also think I've seen the xd-essentials setup for under 400. That's the same gun with none of the fluff.(mag holder, holster, ect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Before you buy a G19 you should read up on all the problems they have been having That being said, the only way I'd be a Glock is if it were a police trade in, those sometimes dip below $300.

As long as its a detective, most police trade ins are used and abused. A lot of the glocks vances gets in are range guns. no thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

351mach11647545510 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 did you try the M&P with a grip that was your size? if not feel one out with the proper sized grip for your hand on. Also, are you looking for just an XD or XDM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason, they changed the extractor design, which is now sub-par. Swap it out for an Apex or an older gen extractor if you can find one. Problem solved. :masturboy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Just the base XD. You shouldn't pay more than $425 for a great condition used one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Has anybody had any issues with armslist.com? I have seen a few guns on there I liked, just was not sure if there was anything I needed to be aware of. There were several XDs on there that are close to the suggested prices in here. Few that were a bit more expensive but seemed to have extra stuff (mags and or ammo). When buying used is roundcount something I need to be wary of?

I have owned 3 glocks in the past with no problems. The 19 I have now is my 3rd glock and it has no issues. I just need more practice to shoot it has good as my 1911. The GEN 3 guns are very reliable.. The early gen 4 guns have been hit and miss from what I have read. All of mine were gen 2 and 3. I am actually looking into a glock 30 to add to the collection.

Never had a problem. My main concern is always meeting up with a stranger. I always bring a buddy or someone with me when meeting up. I always meet somewhere at a location I choose.

Some of the later gen 3 might have the extractor problems from what I have read. Other then the extractor problem I would say they are reliable.

Rustlestiltskin Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Also, I bought my Smith n Wesson m&p15T ar15 off of armslist. I would trust it as long as you make sure to get a bill of sale n what not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean you missed that part where you meet a stranger to buy a mystery weapon? I've bought from dealers off of there, just be educated about what you are buying.

Had you read through my link you would have seen that late gen 3 and gen 4 models have a new extractor that starts causing issues around the 800 round mark. So your gen 2 and gen 3 depending on age wouldn't have any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
