- I’ve seen many Law Enforcement trade in pistols over the years, especially Glocks. I thought about getting a Glock 17 Gen 2 in 9mm last year when AIM surplus had them but just didnt get one. AIM doesn’t have the 9mm gen 2s in stock anymore so that prompted me to see if i could find one elsewehere. Well, I found Sportsmans Guide had the them in stock so I finally got one. In this video, I show you what the LE Trade In Glock looks like as well as give you a range test.
History: In 1980, Gaston Glock first designed a polymer framed pistol for Austrian military and police. The Glock 17 entered Austrian military and police service as the P80 in 1982. Since then, Glocks have become one of the most popular handguns. The Glock 17 Generation 2 was introduced in 1988 and was phased out by 1997 with the arrival of the new Gen 3.

I bought my Gen 2 G17 in 1990 on my 21st birthday. 4 years later it was stolen when my house was broken into. Fast forward 26 years and I get a call from the sheriffs office I did the police report through. It was recovered! Now mind you, I’m in CA and it was recovered in WY. Glad to say I got it back. Talk about “if that pistol could talk,”
Damn how was the pistol when
You got it back ?
Wow all those years crossing hands and borders. Very fortunate to get it back though!
@@2ndAmmendmentAmerican It wasn’t in bad shape. Still had the tritium sights and extended slide stop on it. The slide was a bit worn and the barrel was in rough shape. I put some new tritiums on it, had the slide resurfaced and an optics pocket milled. Dropped a new barrel in it and it shoots like a dream.
@@gregkunkel708 you should do a CZcams video on the gun And the story
I bought my Gen 2, Glock 17 back in 1989 (introduced in 1988). I used it in competition shooting in the 90s. I retired the pistol after firing ~105,000 rounds. Original barrel. Springs replaced 3X. In all that time, I only had 2 malfunctions. I remember them well. Shooting a competition in Sacramento in 1990, using range reloads. Both malf's were failures to feed from the same box of reloads. Most of the ammo it shot was my reloads (115gr Winchester HP) or Fiocchi 115gr flat nose FMJ. 🤠
Great write up 🍻
Holy crap. That’s a lot of rounds. Do you still have the pistol or you got rid of it?
I bought one of these when I was in the police academy in ‘97. I sold it in ‘04 and have regretted that choice for years. I definitely need to get one of these trade ins.
Yea man, this Gen2 is awesome 🔥
The answer is yes, it's worth it
Gen 2 glocks are the highest quality. Best finish and internals were all milled out and not injection molded. Normally the triggers are so worn in that they are smooth AF.
Great buy. That's a pistol you can trust.
Thanks for the info 😁🍻
You COULD make it a project gun for some custom stippling to “camouflage” any serious scratches 👍🏻
Yea even a cerekote job might save you some money as opposed to doing it to a new Glock
Definitely a cool gun!!!
Indeed! Just so many of them made!
MY FAV GLOCK THX MAN
Right on 😎💯
@@BattlefieldCurator I am from Argentina and here we only have generation 3 onwards, and the cheapest Glocks are 900 dollars (used). The truth is I'm saving but I find it difficult to reach one :(
Short answer: Yes
I love how you have the same attitude as me lmao
Thats a Glock. It is very Glock. Maybe the most Glock ive ever seen.
Things like this are the future of surplus in the US
Yep, I’d agree… not too much sentiment for them now it seems
Where did you go to look up to see if you valued find what department it was from? I have a G45 gen 5 police trade in
I Google searched it and found some forums discussing it. I’ve looked up other serials from LE ones and had no luck.
I just got a police trade in, but as further inspection. It looked tortured tested. I refused the transfer &
Just decided to buy a
New gen5. I realized recently that for the same price I could have gotten a new pistol with3 mags.
Always be in the future with guns.
This is the first time ever refusing a pistol.
I don’t know the process,other than contacting the place I purchased it. It’s been a couple days….
They haven’t responded yet.
Enjoy the gen2.
What a douch…
Thanks for your experience, I’m sure it well help others decide on what’s best for them. For me, I have been wanting a Gen 2 for a while and finally just got one. A few friends have Gen 2s but they have eluded me in the wild
That gun is old but has rarely been fired for sure
I was expecting to get it in that condition after reading through forums and talking to a cop friend. So glad that it came as I expected
Nice gun I think older generation/ out of production pistols are a good way to scratch the milsurp itch now that the hobby is so expensive.
I’d say so as well… just getting harder to get some good deals, especially online
All police trade glocks I’ve got look terrible but run great 👍
Of course they do. They're glocks.
lol yep that’s what I was expecting with this one. It to me it doesn’t matter
Mmmm, Half Life
Gib, Please
Incredible Art
Beautiful Boomstick
My brothers and I used to play that game growing up 😁🍻
Pulverized!!!
Thanks! 🍻😎
You have to pay taxes, transfer fee and shipping !!
😅
Yes, welcome to life.
Used or brand new you can’t go away with that.
So your $500 Glock is more like $575 after all the fees.
I don’t think people buy Gen 2 Police Trade to save money, they do it because of history of the brand, for the collection.
As stated in the video, I paid under 400 not including transfer fee.
545 views lemme fix that
Thanks 😁🍻
Id rather have a police trade in then it coming from some thug (which glocks seem to attract)
😂😂facts brother
